Cougar unleashes the Airface Eco RGB mid-tower PC case for more cost-effective cooling
Even in a crowd of mid-tower PC cases, Cougar is squeezing out more cooling performance from the form factor. The manufacturer's new Cougar Airface Eco RGB emphasizes efficient and unobstructed airflow. Available in black or white, the Cougar case has a distinctive hole-filled front covering two illuminated 180mm fans. The Airface Eco RGB is already available at retailers like Amazon for $109.99.
What stands out immediately about the Airface Eco RGB is its front side, which is dominated by large circular openings. Whether or not a buyer approves of the exposed look, it allows more air into the chassis than is possible with mesh. Cougar claims it has mastered the art of Thermodynamic Cooling, with cone-shaped vents funneling in as much cool air as possible.
Cougar opted for a pair of front 180mm PWM blowers instead of smaller 120mm fans. This configuration is generally quieter and generates more airflow using less power. However, the mid-tower case has room for up to three 120mm alternatives behind and below the front and top panels. The Airface Eco RGB also welcomes AIO liquid coolers, housing 360mm radiators in both these locations.
The Airface Eco RGB bucks the trend of chunky dual-chamber cases. Even so, Cougar found more space behind the motherboard tray for cable management. Unfortunately, there is no mention of reverse connector motherboard support. Most panels lift off easily, and a dust filter conveniently slides out from the front side of the PC case. The Airface Eco RGB offers a hint of modularity with an I/O panel that installs in several locations.
Reviewers have yet to confirm whether the new Cougar case lives up to its thermal potential. Still, with three illuminated fans and a lighting controller, it's a quick pathway to an airflow-focused build.

COUGAR introduces the Airface ECO RGB – a mid tower PC case with built-in eco-conscious cooling
Cooling efficiency with an eco-conscious edge: the Airface ECO RGB features thermodynamic vents and dual 180mm fans to deliver powerful airflow using less energy
February 20th, 2025, Tainan, Taiwan - COUGAR, a global leader in PC cases, gaming furniture, peripherals, tech lifestyle and esports solutions, is excited to introduce the all-new Airface ECO RGB mid tower PC case with built-in eco-conscious cooling.
Sustainability is hardwired into the Airface ECO RGB’s design ethos, ensuring cooling efficiency at reduced energy costs. At its heart is a forward-thinking venting system designed to maximize cooling while minimizing environmental impact. Its coned vents taper inward from a wide opening to funnel cooler air more efficiently. This innovative structure maintains lower internal temperatures, reducing the workload of powered cooling. Paired with dual 180mm PWM fans, this design delivers exceptional airflow while keeping energy consumption to a minimum.
Listening to the community has always been central to COUGAR’s product evolution. Building upon the proven strengths of the Airface ECO RGB’s predecessors, the vertical GPU spacing has been upgraded and enhanced, ensuring unobstructed airflow to make the most out of the cooling for high-end GPUs. An improved cable management system allows for cleaner, more efficient builds, making assembly and maintenance easier than ever, while a modular front I/O panel offers users the freedom to position it at the top or bottom of the case, letting them access their ports and buttons in a way that best suits their setup.
A robust dust filtration system rounds out the Airface Eco’s feature set, with filters on three ventilated sides—front, top, and bottom—preventing dust buildup and protecting internal components. The quick-slide front dust filter, now enhanced with a rubber tag for easier grip, allows for hassle-free maintenance, while the removable top panel ensures effortless assembly access.
The Airface ECO RGB reaffirms COUGAR’s commitment to empowering gamers and build enthusiasts, as we continue to push the boundaries of performance and environmental impact reduction.
