Cougar reveals Archon, a new black mid-tower that measures 480mm x 430mm x 195mm (D x H x W). The case supports Micro ATX and ATX motherboards and has room for two 5.25" drives, three 3.5" HDDs, three 2.5" SSDs, seven expansion slots, and up to five fans (only one is included). There's room for graphics cards with a length of up to 310mm and CPU coolers with a maximum height of 165mm.

The case has an orangish interior, a large acrylic side window, and a front I/O panel with USB 3.0 and audio ports. Other features include detachable air filters on the front and bottom, pre-cut holes for watercooling tubing, and a cut-out for easy CPU cooler swapping.
COUGAR, leading PC case and power supply maker has introduced their latest PC case, the Archon. With an elegant look and support for longer high-end graphics cards up to 310mm, this case is the latest iteration from COUGAR’s line of sleek gaming cases. The ARCHON delivers expansion capability in a subdued enclosure with windows, grills and an orange highlighted interior.

It comes with three 2.5"HDD/SSD trays and three 3.5" HDD trays and features easily cleanable detachable air filters on the front and bottom covers. Like many of their other cases, there is a transparent acrylic side cover so that you can see the internals of the build.

The case will be kept cool with support for up to five fans: one rear 120mm fan (pre-installed), two optional front side 120mm fans, and two optional side 120mm fans along with seven PCI vented slots that provide flexibility and ventilation performance for multiple graphics cards solutions. If you need to kick it up a notch with water cooling, you can do that too with two holes (with rubber protection) on the rear panel.

This mid tower case of course comes with advanced USB 3.0 ports for maximum data transfer speeds and despite its size, the ARCHON can take up to 8 drives or drive bay accessories in total with the Screw-less mechanism design on the 5.25"devices.

Lastly, to keep it all neat and organized, the cables feed through on the motherboard tray allowing for easy routing and cable management.
