Writer: Brendan Frye

COUGAR has managed to subvert my expectations at every turn while testing the case. The MX600 has a surprising number of premium features that I would normally see on cases double or triple the price. The perforated steel side panels and angular intake ducts are specifically designed to optimize airflow. The power supply shroud is a cavernous 110 mm tall and even has ventilation on the side panel to facilitate better PSU intake, all working together to make one of the easiest cases to build in priced at under $150.

COUGAR has always been a value brand, but they have shattered expectations with the MX600. This isn’t just a good value case. It’s a great mid-tower case at any price point. The amount of cooling, features, build quality and design you get here is exceptional. With the MX600, COUGAR has achieved that rare combination of value and performance that exceeds all my expectations. This is a mid-tower that punches well above its weight class and looks good doing it.

Writer: Brendan Frye

The QUBE 500 PC Case from Cooler Master is a unique and incredibly fun option for PC builders looking for something different. As someone who has been building PCs since I was in grade school, I’m always on the lookout for innovative cases that bring something new to the table. So when I saw Cooler Master had a flat-packed modular case at last year’s CES, I was eager to see what it could do with a build. This small form factor chassis arrives in pieces, flat-packed like IKEA furniture, and you assemble it yourself as you install your components.

For those seeking something fresh and experimental and who value personality as much as performance, the QUBE 500 is a strong choice. It delivers flexibility and customization options you rarely see. If you’re a veteran builder tired of the same old boxes or a newcomer who wants a fun, hands-on project, keep an eye on the Cooler Master QUBE 500. Despite some rough edges, its creative spirit and DIY appeal make it worthy of consideration.

The QUBE 500 PC Case’s creative DIY approach and flexible design make it a compelling choice for both seasoned builders and newcomers looking for a distinctive, engaging project.
