Hi Jay! We're really glad you liked the FV270, thanks so much for covering it. We took a pretty big leap of faith with the design; we totally get that some people will hate it, but we're confident that it'll have its fans. We're absolutely taking notes: we're always looking to improve, and your idea for a bottom dust filter will be implemented on a future product, and we're working on an immediate fix for the rotating platform noise. Also a big thank you to everybody commenting: we promise we're listening.

@@TheAtomicSpoon The expensive part of making curved glass is in the setup (perfecting the forms and labor process so you get a part that fits perfectly).

You know, Cougar is one brand I've always really liked. Like they don't really make "S tier products", but damn do they try different things and I love them for that. They are the one brand that I look at from time to time and see just completely unique and different things they try in a lot of different product categories, and it is so great to see some brands still willing to be different and try different things.

My current pc case is from Cougar, and I've had no complaints. This one is cool as well.

The timing on this is eerie - I am just about to finally buy an 011 case to do the build I've been wanting to for a while, and this comes out right before I drop $$$. Absolutely perfect timing - based on what you showed this looks like it'll be better suited to what I want, and the price isn't too bad considering what an actual 011 Evo costs. 😊

Yes, please do a build, even if it's a generic one with the "basic" parts you have around the shop. Would make these vids soooo much more informative, even though it would probably triple the amount of work for Phil.

Hyte y60 and the h6 flow mated really well

I really love the cases that have the fans diagonally facing from the side. This may be my next case!

Awesomesauce video, Jay, Phil, and Nic!! It looked like the front panel and HD audio connectors are one connection instead of separate cables. My hats off to Cougar for this. It's definitely a solid contender for my next case when I get tired of my LanCool II Mesh.

This case looks amazing! I wish I waited a bit more for my new build. I would've totally get it if it was available a few months ago.

You cannot copyright functional elements in US copyright law. You can pattent a functional invention through the pattent office which will grant you a copyright for 20 years. But lets get real, nothing was ever invented for a computer case. Its literally a hodgepodge of functional elements. Companies are free to tear them down and take what they like then implement it in their own design. Side airflow (functional), curved elements to redirect air (funtional), mesh panels (functional), front angle fan (functional), general layout for fitting parts (functional).

Great video Jay. I would love to see you do a build in this one.

Thats a great looking case. Def would like to see a build in this

Looks too huge and bulky. Hard pass.

Nice case. Lots of room for different layouts and well thought out design. Excepting the rear filter removal.

Interesting hearing the comment about airflow on the underside of the motherboard socket. I remember back in the Athlon XP days getting an extra side panel for a case that had a side fan and mounting 80mm fans on both sides of the case, the fan on the underside of the motherboard socket dropped the CPU temps by about 5 C. I have always wondered why no case manufacturers have put fan mounts in that location, especially when dual chamber became a thing.

You know the old saying that a camel is a horse designed by committee? This case is a camel. It's like a group of people each took what they liked most about each of the most popular cases and they tried to shove it all into one case. Curved glass front like the Montech case, The toilet bowl fan of the NZXT Flow, the slanted side fans of that other NZXT case, Hyte's pillarless corner, fans on the PSU shroud like the Lian Li 216, looks sort of like the 011D, but not a dual chamber case, and then throw in support for the new motherboards with backside headers, because why not. So you end up with a weird looking pc case that seems to do a lot but maybe not very much well. If you populare all the fan mounts that I suspect this will have negative air pressure and won't have as good of thermals as the 011 or montech dual chamber cases. That bowl fan doesn't really seem to point at the GPU as it's too far forward to blow directly on it. I'm picky with my cases, so I'm probably being unfair, but this is not a case that would interest me. Cougar has done some vastly more interesting cases.

Looks decent, will wait to see some builds in it. as for rear filter removal, that wouldn't bother me, if I'm cleaning filters I'm usually taking the pc out to clean it anyway, filters help by making the interior easier to clean but they still need cleaning.

I have a cougar case and love it. Good quality, nice design, fair price.

I always like case reviews. I’ve built a few pcs in the last few years in a few different cases. Right now using an asus prime ap201. Small enough to not take up so much space on my desk and plenty of airflow but still able to fit normal sized components. I wanted something smaller after having a gigantic Corsair 5000d

Yeah, I love this. I've been crossed been the H5 and H6 Flow and this seems like the best of both of those with hints of Hyte aesthetics. I'm all about it. Just wish the bottom filter came out on the side vs the back..but, that's negligible.

Nice to see it supports the Project 0 and BTF boards.

I like that case. I have 2 cougar fans that are years old and still running great. I would like to use that spinning/RBG fan replacement with a crystal I have that would make the RGB amazing through it. I might put it on my list of next case in the future, though that means getting rid of my spinning rust in the next computer.

that's a really cool looking case

i do like that case, I think I'll choose this one for my next build, bit more than I like to spend on a case but I plan on splurging a bit anyway

This reminds me of the first cosmos from Coolermaster just the smart attention to functionality and form with the ability of modulation.

That low front fan reminds me of a literal miniature air conditioning PC case we had in a repair shop. Freaked me out for unknown reasons at the time, but I now have learned is because of humidity concerns…

first thing caught my eye was the feet. It makes it seem like a presentation piece screaming quietly and LOVE the curved glass 1 piece

I love the Luminous Rotating Platform

The rotating platform looks awesome! To be fair I do hope that the hiccup isn't a common issue with these because to be honest, I'd love to do a build in this case! All the features speak to me as well thought out and even the fact they give the option to add the platform and they offer it themselves shows me they keep with the times.

It looks like it's also compatible with the few motherboard models with all the connectors on the backside, which from a cable management standpoint would be cool to have a case that works with both.

I do like the "no fans" in cases that you really are going to be customizing everything, matching fans sucks. Great vod, great info, thanks guys.

First case was a Cougar Solution. Was a great budget case (got it for around $30) back in 2014.

is smart to aim to impress jay!

I have a figure inside my case because I needed to clear a little shelf space and she fits the color scheme.

The orange that they chose along with that white brings back memories of Tampa Bay's Creamsickle uniforms. Ode to the Buccaneers. lol

The case is definitely aesthetically pleasing. Loving the the bend glass and the angled air intake at the bottom-front of the case. The only thing that worries me is the width of the case. I am really interested in the internal dimensions. A GPU generally has an extra 40 - 45 mm of PCB from where the screws are. Put a waterblock on it and an additional 20 - 25 mm are needed. This generally leads up to 170 - 180 mm of width for a wateer cooled GPU. Add another 10 mm for the MB including the standoffs and the total space needed is about 190 mm from the backside where the MB is mounted to the glass. Preferably a little more as you don'ty want to touch/scratch the glass (200 mm would be preferred).

Huge fan of the rotating platform!

The best is inverted with the GPU on top and thick radiator push pull plenty of room. And more room for pump under the GPU and more air flow over the mobo I tried every case combination this was the best. All aluminimunumunmm

Now, I haven't been one to put a figure in my case before, but with that little stage add-on I'd be mighty tempted. The hitching could be due to the weight of that vase. Something like a Gundam which are extremely lightweight probably wouldn't have that issue
