COUGAR MX600 Mini RGB Mini-Tower Case
The COUGAR MX600 Mini RGB packs serious cooling potential into a compact Mini-Tower design. Equipped with two pre-installed 160mm ARGB PWM front fans and a 120mm ARGB PWM rear fan, it delivers strong airflow straight out of the box while supporting up to 10 fans for more advanced cooling configurations.
Despite its compact footprint, the MX600 Mini RGB supports graphics cards up to 380mm, top-mounted radiators up to 360mm, and reverse-connector motherboards. A sloped airflow ramp, ventilated design, integrated PWM and RGB hub, and flexible storage options make it a capable foundation for powerful Micro-ATX and Mini-ITX builds.

High-Performance Cooling
The MX600 Mini RGB includes three ARGB PWM fans from the factory:
- Front: 2 × 160mm ARGB PWM
- Rear: 1 × 120mm ARGB PWM
The front 160mm fans operate between 400–1200 RPM ±10%, while the rear 120mm fan operates between 500–1400 RPM ±10%.
Fan Support
The MX600 Mini RGB supports a maximum of 10 fans:
Front
- 2 × 160mm
Top
- 3 × 120mm
- or 2 × 140mm
Motherboard Side
- 2 × 120mm
PSU Shroud
- 2 × 120mm
Rear

Water Cooling Support
Top
- 360mm
- 280mm
- 240mm
- 140mm
- 120mm
Motherboard Side
- 240mm
- 120mm
Rear
- 120mm
Important: The supplier specifies that a radiator can be installed at the top or motherboard side, but not both simultaneously.
GPU Compatibility
The MX600 Mini RGB supports graphics cards up to:
- 380mm / 15" with fans installed at the motherboard side
- 255mm / 10" with a radiator and fans installed at the motherboard side
This is an important consideration when planning a side-mounted liquid-cooling configuration.
Reverse-Connector Motherboard Support
The MX600 Mini RGB supports compatible reverse-connector motherboard designs, allowing supported connections to be routed behind the motherboard for a cleaner-looking build.
Motherboard compatibility includes:
- Mini-ITX
- Micro-ATX
Integrated PWM & RGB Hub
A built-in universal hub provides centralized control for compatible PWM fans and RGB lighting.
RGB lighting can be controlled through the case or synchronized with compatible motherboard lighting software for a coordinated system-wide appearance.
Storage
The case provides:
- 2 × 3.5" Drive Bays
- 1 × 2.5" Drive Bay
- 2 additional 2.5" positions converted from the 3.5" bays
This allows configurations of up to:
- 3 × 2.5" SSDs
or
- 1 × 2.5" SSD + 2 × 3.5" HDDs
Front I/O
- 1 × USB Type-C Gen 2
- 2 × USB 3.0
- 1 × 4-Pole Headset Audio Jack
- RGB Control Button
Compatibility
- Case Form Factor: Mini Tower
- Motherboards: Mini-ITX / Micro-ATX
- Expansion Slots: 5
- Maximum GPU Length: 380mm / 15"*
- Maximum CPU Cooler Height: 175mm / 6.9"
- Maximum PSU Length: 180mm / 7.1"
*GPU clearance is reduced to 255mm / 10" when a radiator with fans is installed on the motherboard side.

Why You'll Love It
The COUGAR MX600 Mini RGB delivers an impressive amount of cooling and hardware flexibility for a compact Mini-Tower.
With three ARGB PWM fans pre-installed, room for up to 10 total fans, support for a 360mm top radiator, GPUs up to 380mm, and reverse-connector motherboards, you can build a seriously capable system without moving up to a full-sized ATX chassis.
It's especially appealing for anyone who wants the cleaner footprint of a Micro-ATX build without giving up the cooling options and visual presence normally associated with larger cases.
