calculate the cost of fans then repost if the case is cheap or not, considering its al plastic with only 3 pieces of aluminium that cost 50 cent a kilo, you can safely find cases with this kind of specs on alibaba for 50 or less, as these are all vintage concept cases

I've had my eye on this since CES as part of the next evolution of my current build in their Evolv X, which is a great case, but I want a little more room for a bit more customization for my custom loop.

[@Giuseppetm99]

That build is sick! Good job, as always :)

[@gr82banautiger24]

Without the dust filter on the front, how much room is there between the front mount and the front panel? Also, how much room is there between the back of the side fan/rad mount and the back side panel? Trying to plan a quad rad build in this beauty, and you gave some great measurements, just need a few more.

[@similarty3617]

same here, if you find out let me know

[@GGFEvents]

They may be enough room but fans would be jammed so close to the front panel they wouldn't be bringing in any air.

[@gr82banautiger24]

GGF Events so maybe 25-27mm? How about the space behind the side 480 rad mount with and without the dust filter on the side panel?

[@djohnny1337]

I have EK 360 SE rad between the front panel and the chassis and fans inside the case. Had dremel the front panel a bit to make it fit, but there is good bit of clearance for air flow. Can't fit 480mm rad or 3 fans in there, because the front panel connectors are on the way...

[@HighwayRamos]

Stunning build mate, Aussie represent! 👍

[@FredPalmerJr1]

I am so thrilled to see this new case. I have to admit I'm not gonna lie . I was thinking of doing my first ever mini ITX build. Because I've been seeing quite a few showing up in Builds.gg. But... This kind of hit me in the face thinking I can have the best of both worlds in one case. I am just so overly excited. If I need to sell my current rig to make this happen I would. Cause hey. It's just money. LOL. JK. It's a matter of pride. knowing that the first build I ever made. Got me the grand prize in Builds.gg AIO category. Stuart. We know each other pretty well at this point. And I know I can pretty much ask you for any advice when the time comes to making this a reality. So thank you for making this very beautiful build with it. give me inspiration to put my best foot forward. Take care my friend. 😃

Phanteks proving YET AGAIN they are the absolute best mainstream case manufacturer in the world. I guess its worth mentioning and putting an asterisk *now that Caselabs has shut down. Still, this case is incredible. I've been holding out on getting anything new to replace my Enthoo Pro TG Special Edition but this might be the one.

I got this case early 2020. It's absolutely amazing. At one point, I had 8 drives in it along with 2 ssd's. Unfortunately, shortly after I got the case, my PSU decided to abort itself and took all the case RGB with it, along with the motherboard. Slapped a new PSU and upgraded to an X570 board, but the case RGB is still dead

[@redhawk1497]

Great review 👏 thanks for the video and info 👍.

[@Komphonist]

Great Video, thanks! The radiator support section is especially awesome and helpful. I wonder however how you managed to fit the EK 360 XE in the top. I just bought the case and cannot fit the 360 PE because due to the width of it the Top cover will not fit anymore because the side panels of the rad are blocking parts of the openings for the hooks of the top panels. Since the XE is also 130mm i wonder how you've done it.

[@rallyscoot]

If they would add an normal ATX / E-ATX design, i definitely would purchase this case.. I really love phanteks cases to build in.

[@ThePalaniX]

[@DogeRider985]

how many ssd you want?? phanteks: *yes* phanteks always has crazy case with good price, their quality is best too, even fans is almost good enough with premium fans

[@Dans-hobbies]

Do you think some think like dual xspc tx480s would work since they are only 20mm thick?

[@zetash7372]

Thank you for the idea :)

[@Dans-hobbies]

@@zetash7372 Phanteks references "dual 480" twice on their marketing pages so it must be possible, but It might require a very specific config. If its not possible at all, then they open themselves up to a lot of hate from the community, and the ever looming chance of a false advertising lawsuit.

[@Dans-hobbies]

@@zetash7372 I'd add you also have the option of running slim fans (15mm), though I have no idea how good the acoustics and thermals would be in that scenario.

[@GGFEvents]

Sorry for not covering this but yes up to 30mm can fit on the side rad area in the rear of the case so then fans would be on the main side. I guess the only thing to be careful of are the rad ports coming out in to the main section may fail on the front radiator.

How is this the only youtube video of the luxe today?!

[@P8qzxnxfP85xZ2H3wDRV]

What if you want to put the radiator in the back compartment? Is there enough room for a 30 mm radiator? That way you could have 480 in the front as intake, 480 in the side as exhaust, 360 in the bottom as intake, 360 in the top as exhaust, 120 in the rear. Total of 1,800 or 15x 120 mm.

This fits 3 SSDs + (4 SSDs or 8 HDD/SSD) + 4 HDD/SSD. In other words up to 12 drives and 3 SSDs. If you buy enough mounts, you can actually probably fit more than 4 stacked next to the PSU shroud. Maybe 1 or 2 more depending on what's on top of your mobo.

when i have a little bit more money i want to build my own pc aswel in the antec torque case, what would you suggest for watercooling (i've never done a pc build before and neither have i done watercooling) but should i do hard tubing because it looks better but its more difficult to do, or go with soft tubing and just simply use that

[@fergusjones7830]

I've never built a water-cooled system but if unsure what parts you need look towards corsairs HYDRO X line. On their website they have a configurator to help you find everything you need. Soft tubing is a cheaper option as you won't need to buy a heat gun, rubber bending inserts etc....

You can get the double 480 rads in the side panel and front but its a TIGHT fit and really takes some hard work to get it all in just perfectly where it will run if you use a slimmer rad like the SE from EK I have it in mine but it will be a absolute nightmare to take apart if you have to. *edit: Also may take some weird mounting of the top rad too.

[@MiraSmit]

So you need to choose for radiotors. Since you need consistant airflow just pick between front to back or bottom to top.

[@gamenicity5905]

Great looking build bro!! Wonder if it will fit and e-atx board like the x570 aorus xtreme without covering the cable pass-through grommets? Looks like it would have decent air flow for an air cooled system as well. Would be curious what the thermals would be in this chassis as well...

EATX boards were used throughout the whole video. Even the final build has an EATX

[@gamenicity5905]

@@studog858585 Thank you for your reply. I'm not very familiar with the x299 motherboards and didn't realize it was an e-atx. There are lots of cases on the market that say they can fit the e-atx form factor. But when you try to install one it doesn't seem to fit quite right. ie the thermaltake level 20 gt, and even the view 71 are just a couple of examples. Along with several offerings from corsair, cooler master, fractal, phantex ect. Again I appreciate you pointing it out!!

Maybe it's just me, but does the RGB transitioning to other colors seem a little stuttery? Could also just be one of those weird shutter problems with the PWM of the LED's and the camera not matching up, but I figured I'd ask. Sort of torn between this case now and the Meshify S2.
