Cougar brought a breath of innovation to Computex 2025 with new cases optimized for high airflow without compromising on looks. The CFV235 and CFV235 Mesh are an interesting example of this. The case is horizontally divided, but there is a rather large gap between the upper-left chamber (with the motherboard tray), and the lower chamber (with the PSU and drive bays). This gap features a set of fan intake vents, so you can either install intake fans here, or a 360 mm radiator, and have it draw in fresh air without the PSU or drives getting in the way. There are three additional vents along the top panel, and two facing the right side, besides the obligatory 120 mm rear exhaust. The CFV235 has tempered glass on two sides of the upper compartment, while the CFV235 Mesh sees the front panel replaced with a mesh intake and two additional 160 mm intakes with pre-installed ARGB fans. Cougar set up fogging machines to show how the bottom intakes help draw in fresh air.
Next up, is the AirFace 180. This mid-tower draws its name from its front mesh intake that's dominated by a pair of massive 180 mm ARGB illuminated intake fans. The case has a horizontally partitioned layout, with additional fan mounts along the partition, and the rear exhaust. You get clearance for graphics cards up to 34 cm in length, and other modern features such as USB-C front-panel. Looking for something less bold? There's the AirFace Flo, a mid-tower build on the same concept as the AirFace 180, but with smaller 160 mm fans, which are still larger than the original AirFace that came with 140 mm spinners. And then there's the AirFace Pure Pro, a case with a simplified front mesh design that includes a trio of 120 mm ARGB fans instead of two 140 mm.
Winding things up for cases in the Cougar booth is the OmnyX, a cube-shaped ATX case that positions the motherboard such that its rear I/O is pointed down, so the case's front and rear could form a push-pull airflow channel of two 120 mm fans, with a third set of 3x 120 mm fans (or a 360 mm radiator) being located at its left side panel.
