The Cougar Purity RGB is a small but well-designed case with a focus on aesthetics and practicality. Its tempered glass side panel provides a clear view of your components, while the RGB lighting adds a touch of personalization. The front panel is dominated by a large, mesh intake area that helps to draw cool air into the case. The case also features a top-mounted I/O panel with two USB 3.0 ports, one USB 2.0 port, headphone and microphone jacks, an RGB button, and a reset button.

Performance and Cooling

The Cougar Purity RGB performed admirably in my tests. The front intake mesh facilitated good airflow, and the pre-installed aRGB fan added a welcome touch of extra cooling. I was able to maintain comfortable temperatures even under heavy load, thanks to the case’s efficient cooling design. While I did not install a liquid cooler, the case’s 240mm radiator support is a nice bonus for those who want to go that route.
