The Cougar FV150 Mini RGB is a compact PC case compatible with Micro-ATX and Mini-ITX motherboards, featuring a panoramic showcase design achieved through pillarless tempered glass panels on the front and left side that meet without a corner pillar. Its dual-chamber layout conceals the power supply unit and storage drives behind the motherboard tray, while full support for rear-connector motherboards minimizes visible cabling in the main chamber. The case is offered in black, white, and pink finishes and measures 285 × 436 × 365 mm, balancing a small footprint with a showcase aesthetic.
Cooling support within the FV150 Mini RGB is extensive for its size, accommodating a 360 mm radiator on the top and a 280 mm radiator on the side simultaneously. Cougar supplies three ARGB fans out of the box—one 120 mm exhaust fan and two 120 mm reverse-blade intake fans—and the interior allows for graphics cards up to 400 mm long, CPU air coolers up to 170 mm tall, and standard ATX power supplies up to 200 mm in length. Front I/O includes a USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 port, two USB-A 3.0 ports, and a 3.5 mm headset jack, ensuring modern connectivity options for high-performance builds.
