[@l_aggy]

Was waiting for a 2nd reviewer to talk about this case. Thanks alot.

[@Ryhillchibulls]

Who was your first? I know Gear seekers did a video on the recent Phanteks cases around a month ago. That's all I've seen.

[@l_aggy]

@@Ryhillchibulls It was Gear seekers as after seeing the xt pro ultra I decided to see if there were any fishtank cases and they (Phanteks) had one and so I watched about it from Gear seekers

[@kurtis4572]

love the content and the PC builds. Keep em coming. thanks

[@nickclements9607]

I just picked up the Phanteks D30 Reverse Fans, those would have looked so good in the side slot. Instead of having the support brackets on the back showing the reverse contour of the fans means you just see the pretty fans and RGB (or whatever colour). They link together really well too and only one cable for the fan header and RGB gives a super clean look too. They'd have been intake too and would have helped with the cable mess

[@ZarraM]

Great content, Marcus!

[@dwanejeff196]

Thank You! I really enjoy you and your videos and now, I seem to catch each of your new Videos, when they come out now! Such as this one that says it came out, 1 day ago! Keep up the good work, please don't stop what you are doing!

[@PcCentric]

Glad you like them :)

[@cloudeysrl9141]

You’re the best your vid’s are super good to follow, I’m making my own pc and have everything done besides windows setup and I’m so confused even after watching so many tutorials lol

[@Revenge2393]

What is it you're struggling with? Happy to give you a hand over discord if you need it!

[@cloudeysrl9141]

@@Revenge2393 I just don’t understand the use of the disc 0 1 and 2 or something and why I need to get a windows on a usbc then plug it into my new pc to get windows? A few more vids and some more braincells and I’ll figure it out but thank you!

[@thisguy1120]

Great content

[@Starwarsmast]

The GPU sag...

[@Ladioz]

Yes first thing I've noticed. More cases need to focus on this issue. The best case that' ive seen that fixes any kind of GPU sag is the Cougar Airface pro. It's built in GPU sag bracket is so neat and not in your face. It keeps any graphics card no matter the thickness or length straight as a wooden board. If you get a minute, have a look on google about this case

[@lc_elev3n2]

It hurts me.

[@timtim-mq7hp]

Montech Sky Two, is that you??

[@itsdeonlol]

Nice case!!

[@dennyjohnson9284]

Would you recommend using a project zero board in this case or would it be overkill for this case on a semi low budget? Would the space in the back be sufficient for one?

[@chaseburden6835]

How does this compare to the lancool 216? I know it's a bit cheaper, but is it worth the extra bit of money for the 216?

[@Ste3dy]

Hey I got the acer predator GMG pc was wondering if that was decent choice???

[@sir0.0777]

Can you make a build with the phanteks xt ultra???

[@wolfie35p]

I'm just about to build my future proof pc, but missing two components at the moment, saving to get these parts, what I have just now is:...Ryzen 7 7700x, Asus Rog Strix B650-a Gaming wifi, Deepcool Ak620 digital (white), 32gb team group expert 6000mhz cl30, Gammix s50 2TB m.2, parts still saving for...Powercolor Hellhound Spectral Radeon Rx7800 xt, and a PSU, this is where you come in, can you recommend a white PSU, to finish off my system? Thanks in advance.

[@aldworth33]

"That's the name of my new band" I don't know why but when you said that I saw you as the clarinet player in said band 😂😂😂

[@lc_elevenrobloxrants]

He'd make a good clarinet player🤣

[@genasgenas]

Do you know the reason why its having stutters? And why you say it would be smoother with Nvidia? Cheers 👍

[@johnradium9994]

I have literally been looking for reviews on this case for weeks. thanks for great video! 😭👌 Also, would you say the phanteks xt pro ultra is better? As I can't decide which one to go for overall performance. 🤔

[@PcCentric]

I do like the openness of this - it depends whether you want glass on the front!

[@vishalsisodia08]

I am also in the same debate as to which case to go for, the XT view is looking great and on the other hand the XT pro ultra has 4 140mm Argb fans which is too hard to pass. I might just go with the XT pro ultra.

[@spectorjz4447]

@@vishalsisodia08 nah get the montech xr !

[@micco35]

I'm having nightmares trying to connect the ARGB from the pre-installed fans.. how do I connect them to the motherboard or controller? So many cables are daisy chained that I can't seem to tell what goes into what

[@tylerjames8836]

Sorry to ask a question that doesn't pertain to the video but I could use some help as I am still very new to this PC stuff. I have an i7 13700f(cooled by a 240 AIO), a 4070ti Super, DDR5 memory, an 850W PSU, and I play at 3440x1440. I would like to upgrade the graphics card to an MSI 4090 Gaming Slim but I have several questions. Is my CPU going to be able to handle that, and is my power supply going to be able to handle that? Most games I play are fully utilizing the GPU and roughly 20-60% of the CPU. I obviously don't want to cut any corners and want to make sure that the system is safe to run, but if my current specs could safely run the 4090 then I won't upgrade the CPU, cooler and PSU. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

[@RiseAndThrive0.1]

I cant wait to make my first high end build ive had a lot of budget pcs my first was a rx580 and so on and i have allways loved making the pc since it feels like i have put some of my soul into itbut i am a bit petrified the cpu I Will be paring with my 4080 super is the ryzen 9 7900x3d a 400£ cpu im petrified that i will break the pins any thoughts? on how to help

[@Unspoken_Myth]

have you seen the price of the 7800xt in the us it goes down to 278 all the time on amazon cheaper than the 7700x

[@thugwest28]

last time i check the side fans are reverse air flow so why change it??

[@nathanmason3501]

I'm a noob and bought this case and aio but the rgb on both won't work on my tuf z370 plus motherboard will they work if i get an b550f? I'm planning on switching to amd anyway Thanks

[@brandonmcclelland4359]

Could I send ya a link and you tell me if this pc will be good for my 8 year old?

[@MikeBob2023]

9:53 ROFL @ _"Sad times indeed."_ 🤣🤣🤣

[@MikeBob2023]

P/S: It's a decent build in a decent case. I'd own it. 👍🏼

[@Audiosan79]

I would like to see you mount a BTF mobo in that case, plug in the USB 3 connector and be able to get the side panel on. My bet, you would not be able to get the side panel on. I have yet to see a youtuber build a BTF system in a case that is not a dual chamber case. I guess it's a reason for that.

[@kingcrackedhen3572]

Should’ve used wvery single cable tie just because

[@SpawnOfBlackie]

If you add 3 more fans at the bottom how would you route the gpu power cable instead of through the bottom tray?

[@il1usi0ns66]

Through the back under the mobo

[@jugg3rn8ut73]

Hey pal I'm looking at building a gaming pc around 1500 for the pc and up to 500 for monitor this is a lot of cash for me convinced the wife to let me build it when come back off holiday in 2 week it needs to last me as long as possible never built one b4 and im heavy handed so a bit worried about spending a lot of cash and accidently breaking something cos wont have money to replace it

[@pierre-louisgaillard1870]

Has anyone had problems with the RGB, my fans and the front of the pc don't shine any light, does anyone know where this could be coming from?

[@MikePeters-mb8fz]

Hey, quick question. I don't game in 4k, neither do I use raytracing since in MW it just annoys my vision. So I'm planning to stay at 1440p, now why I''m writing this is as follows: (My country's prices) 4080 Super 16GB €1149,00 4080 16GB €1489,00 7900 XTX 24GB €949,00 I'm buying a GPU because my set-up drowned (yes, drowned), because of terrible designers that build my new place. I want FPS above all else tbh so I can run 1440p smoothly at 144 HZ. What do you all suggest I do for more fps? 4080 Super or 7900 XTX?

[@nocky1429]

What software does he use to showcase the temps?

[@PcCentric]

MSI Afterburner

[@PickleRiiiiick]

Its a great case but i wish i knew all the fans are exhaust by default before building in it 😂

[@wiktorbednarz229]

i thought i had upper mid range with my 1500 pc list but the motherboard is £350 on amazon (its out of stock on other platforms bc its 240 normally)

[@justinhawk835]

It's an overkill board you can go Rog strix b650 a wifi aur tuf b650 aur tomohawk mobo

[@xyrohh]

time to watch a review of a product i've bought a few days ago

[@trev8591]

No vertical mount? I love a vertical mount GPU, easier to hide cables.

[@PcCentric]

Optional extra

[@jt_7877]

That board is discontinued ain’t it? I been looking for it but hard to find

[@PcCentric]

Ah, could be

[@johnt.848]

With two intake and 4 exhaust fans, you now have negative pressure and it will suck dust in through every hole.

[@Cyberpace9]

This case reminds me of the MSI MPG Velox 100R lol.

[@justinhawk835]

It reminds me more of montech sky two

[@Aradmahogany1991]

Those fans probably were set to intake..... Did you actually test there direction??

[@PcCentric]

You can tell by looking at the blades - defo all intakes

[@nunogoncalo9465]

Aren’t the fans already reverse bladed?

[@2four25]

Nice can you play ark asa on this pc because they say you need a realy good pc for ark asa

[@crazzy4194]

Montech sky two

[@johnt.848]

A company as big as Acer should also know it is NOT thermal grease, it is a thermal compound. Grease is used to lubricate moving parts. 🤦‍♀

[@josecorrales7195]

I run my intake fans at 1800 rpm and i never have heating issues 😂

[@marcsantos7087]

For the price point not a bad case.

[@Personne_inutile]

so no way to hide cables anywhere really.

[@Mainonaise]

UNDERRATEDD

[@lanegeisewite1436]

Test to see how much power a intel system actually uses. Guarantee it's not as much as what u think. Should've used a 14600k and a 4070ti super

[@bachcomp1]

The best case this type.

[@Madness801]

Its pretty much a detroit sky two

[@adamtaylor8515]

Is it me or does that look like a back to front motherboard cut-outs design? Oh never mind just under 4 minutes in he mentioned it, oops!

[@DakotaJames14]

Looks like a cheap version of the thermaltake view 570 and it’s about the same price

[@atl126]

Phantecs using exhaust on the side intake in order to hide that they aren't reverse blade was such a turnoff 🤮

[@raymondhachmishvili2483]

that sag...

[@raeshalgoul8505]

👍✌

[@spectorjz4447]

To many cut corners tbh

[@johnt.848]

It's NOT "pretty awesome", it is very average, and close to sub par for a gaming PC case.

[@PurpleRupees]

This glass front and side trend needs to stop. It doesn't look good at all.

[@jacknicholls10]

Gosh! A bit of a forced video here!. May be make a video around fixing people's broken pcs... or build a custom pc like a Bruce lian li. Or a csi miami themed video... etc etc

[@WaRebel4]

Kinda his channel bud, he can do what he wants

[@PcCentric]

I asked them to send me the case for review lol
