Cougar Cratus ARGB E-ATX Mid Tower Case

The Cougar Cratus ARGB (SKU: CGR-5LMSB) is an E-ATX mid tower case designed for enthusiast builds that demand both thermal headroom and visual presence. The chassis pairs steel tube construction with four tempered glass panels, giving an unobstructed 360-degree view of your components and lighting. Three pre-installed 120mm ARGB fans — two at the front and one at the rear — connect via a 5V 3-pin (ARGB) and 3-pin fan header, and the onboard LED controller is compatible with your motherboard's 5V ARGB sync header for system-wide lighting coordination. A dedicated front-panel RGB button provides direct hardware control independent of software. Airflow is a core design priority. The interior layout incorporates an elevated angle inspired by heat-convection principles, promoting natural hot-air evacuation while carving out additional PSU clearance. The open-framed structure allows fans to be mounted at the front (up to 2× 140mm or 2× 120mm), top (up to 3× 120mm or 2× 140mm), motherboard side (up to 3× 120mm), and rear (1× 120mm), totalling a maximum of nine fans. Radiator compatibility extends to 360mm at the top and motherboard-side positions and 280mm at the front, supporting all popular all-in-one cooler sizes. CPU cooler height clearance is rated at 190mm. Storage is well covered for a high-end build: two 3.5-inch HDD bays and five 2.5-inch SSD positions (three dedicated trays plus two converted from the HDD bays) accommodate large media libraries alongside multiple NVMe drives. Seven horizontal and four vertical PCIe expansion slots provide flexibility, and a vertical GPU bracket is included in the accessory kit. Graphics cards up to 460mm (18.1 in) can be installed without a front radiator or fans at the motherboard side; with those components fitted the effective clearance is 325mm (12.8 in). Cable management is handled through a hinged cover over a 45mm rear routing channel, keeping the windowed interior clutter-free. The front I/O panel includes one USB Type-C Gen 2 port (Key-A 20-pin connector), four USB 3.0 ports, and a 4-pole headset audio jack.
