Cougar Gemini M Service Manual

GEMINI M

COUGAR BRINGS YOU A NEW VERSION OF THE REVOLUTIONARY DESIGN OF GEMINI M IN A WHOLLY NEW FORMAT: GEMINI M IS A COMPACT CASE THAT DELIVERS YOU TOP-END PERFORMANCE, COUGAR'S EXCLUSIVE AND INTEGRATED TRELUX RGB LIGHTING AND AN ELEGANT BRUSHED METAL-LIKE FRONT PANEL.

INTEGRATED RGB LIGHTING

Gemini M features COUGAR's exclusive Trelux integrated lighting system. This advanced design allows it to display fourteen amazing lighting effects without installing any additional devices in the case and control them through the integrated lighting button.

ELEGANT DESIGN

Gemini M's brushed metal-like front panel gives it a unique look that sets it apart from other compact cases. This texture is also a great companion to the integrated lighting since the powerful lights coming out of it benefit from the reflective surroundings that help reinforce the effects.

FULL SIDE VISIBILITY

To help you appreciate your system's full beauty, a full-sized tempered glass side window will allow you to contemplate your system's interior.

GREAT SUPPORT FOR COMPONENTS

You won't believe how powerful a gaming beast you can build inside Gemini M. Its advanced support for graphics cards (up to two 330mm-long graphics cards) will allow you to enjoy the latest games with smooth framerates.

TOP-NOTCH COOLING

Gemini M's compact layout allows you to install six fans and three water cooling radiators, with the front one up to 280mm. This immense cooling potential will enable you to choose freely the components you want in your build.

INCREDIBLE STORAGE

Up to two 3.5" HDDs and two 2.5" SSDs or four 2.5" SSDs will provide you with all the storage you need to install games and store all kinds of media.
