Cougar CFV235 Review

Overall, Cougar’s latest case feels like a thoughtful culmination of lessons learned from past designs, with its floating aesthetic standing out as both impressive and practical. The engineering effort behind it is apparent, and the pricing feels fair for an enthusiast-grade case. However, if you’re looking to display content on a system screen, we’d suggest opting for a non-display model like the CFV235 or CFV235 Mesh, as the functionality and customisation don’t quite justify the extra cost. It is not a major enough issue for us to say that we don’t like the feature; it could probably use a little refining, as it is limited by the software Cougar has designed for it. Your money could be better spent on a CPU cooler that delivers strong performance and deeper personalisation than the LCD screen offers, especially when paired with this case’s airflow potential.While we can’t verify airflow improvements against competitors, the overall execution leaves little room for complaint. The fan hub setup is a touch clunky, but this is a minor cavil with this otherwise brilliant chassis. Across the GeekaWhat team, the verdict is clear: this is a case we genuinely like, one that delivers on both design and value, with thoughtful accessibility touches such as magnetic dust filters and toolless panels rounding out the package

With the CFV235, Cougar delivers a showcase case that is clearly aimed at hardware enthusiasts, modders and aesthetically oriented PC builders. The floating design not only sets visual accents, but also creates a functional separation of the air flows between the power supply and main chambers. The clean look, the consistent color scheme and the generous visible surfaces make the case a real eye-catcher.
