THE EVOLUTION FULL TOWER EXTERIOR

The Evolution Full Tower features top build quality and a mild aggressive design which also looks quite elegant at the same time.

A large Plexiglas window is present at the left side panel right next to a fan spot and above the Evolution logo.

The empty fan spot can accommodate a single 140mm intake fan and also features an air filter.

Many PC Cases lately come with meshed front covers and the Evolution Full Tower is one of them.

There are six 5.25" optical drive bays present on the front of the tower while a 120mm intake fan is present behind the last 3.

Right beneath the 5.25" drive bays there's also room for another 120mm intake fan.

The Cougar logo is present at the top of the front fascia.

Right above the logo we see the top I/O which is quite impressive. So except the usual headphones and microphone mini-jacks we also see 2 USB 3.0 ports, 2 USB 2.0 ports, the power/activity LEDs and a control knob with two buttons on both sides right in the middle which can be used both as the power on/off button and as a dual-way fan controller for use with up to 6 system fans.

But that's not all since next to the top I/O we see a large rubber surface with the Cougar logo on it.

This is actually the top SATA HDD Docking Station which can be used with both 3.5" and 2.5" drives.

Moving further towards the rear Cougar has placed another meshed area which can accommodate two more 120mm exhaust fans right beneath it.

As expected the rear also features a nice black matte color.

A single orange colored 120mm exhaust fan is present right beneath two closed water cooling grommets (can be opened with a screwdriver) at the rear of the tower.

The Evolution Full Tower comes with 8 vented PCI Expansion slots, not that i would expect anything less from a full tower.

As usual the spot reserved for mounting the power supply is located at the lower rear end.

What really stands out when checking the bottom of the case is the very large removable air filter.

I would like to see rubber coated thumbscrews used but unfortunately we can't have it all.
