Back to the MX300 now:

The Cougar MX300 is a black mid-tower gaming case retailing at a very low price of 52 dollars. This is in the league of many OEM products, however does affordable also reflect in the included features and build quality ?

The MX300 gaming case features a rugged front panel with a honey comb mesh pattern. The side panel features a small window and room for up to two 120mm fans; aesthetically-wise the front of the MX300 case is a jawbreaker, very slick design there.

After removing the side panel we get a glimpse on the interior. Large cutouts are foreseen near the CPU socket and numerous small ones for easy cable routing. Even though the MX300 is a mid-tower there is still the possibility to install up to 3 2.5" SSD/HDDs and up to three 3.5" storage devices, more than plenty in combination with up to three 5 1/2" optical drive bays. No modular or rotatable HDD cages to be found here, simple and cost effective solutions are the key words here.

With the case totally stripped of the easy detachable front and top parts one can enjoy the simplistic design of the Cougar MX300 mid-tower gaming case.
