THE EVOLUTION FULL TOWER INTERIOR

Aside looking quite spacious the interior of the Evolution Full Tower is also black.

Six 5.25" drive bays may seem somewhat overkill but I understand that some people may actually need them (I do). Of course all six bays feature tool-less locking mechanisms.

The front 120mm intake fan is placed behind the last 3 drive bays and also features an air filter.

The downside however of having six 5.25" drive bays can be seen at the 3.5" drive cage which has only room for 4.

Of course the 3.5" drive cage is completely removable and kept in place with just two thumbscrews.

Once you remove the drive cage you gain access to the second front 120mm intake fan spot.

The drive trays are very easy to use but i would like them to be just a tad sturdier.

4 cable management holes and a large CPU Cutout are present on the mainboard tray.

The rear 120mm exhaust fan reminded me what orange and black make a great color combination.

All of the 8 PCI Expansion slots are kept in place with thumbscrews which usually are the next best thing to normal screws in terms of stability for your cards.

At the PSU space Cougar has placed an adjustable support bracket which can be moved front and back according to the length of your power supply.

As long as the installed PSU follows the standard ATX size and is less than 160mm in length there's room to install yet another 120/140mm fan at the bottom.

Although the Evolution has a spacious interior the same can't be said about the top since if you also fill the two 120mm fan spots you may have a hard time installing both your mainboard and CPU Cooler.
