Jesse has his review and H2O build up up. Did a very nice job of it too!

That is a very nice looking case! Adding that to my shortlist for sure! One question - it says a 480 will go in the bottom, but the side panel looks like it'd get in the way?

Hakanese · 10 Sep 2013 at 11:45

The video they did initially shows A Hardware Labs 480 rad being too wide to fit in the bottom, but that's because the rad has a shroud that makes it 133mm wide.
In an actual build video they fitted an Alphacool Monsta 480 rad in the bottom with push pull, the Alphacool is only 124mm wide.
The Phanteks manual says that the bottom can support rads of 125mm width. Hope this helps.

Jesse's build at end of his review has a 360mm radiator in the ceiling, the Alphacool XT 45 and a 480mm in the bottom, the 480mm Monsta radiator in push/pull configuration

Edit: Beat me to it. Guess that's what I get for getting another cuppa.

Awesome, thanks.

Np. If you're going with Alphacool rads in the 480 flavour you may be in for a wait. They seem to be out of stock across Europe in anything other than the 45mm thick models. Estimated delivery date of new stock is November

Looks like a good price for what you get.

Addicted · 10 Sep 2013 at 14:15

I've gotta say, that looks fantastic, and I love the simple things like having to go around to the other side of the case to mount the HDD's, so that the actual side window shows nothing BUT your pride and joy - nobody wants to see the crap!

Tempted as an upgrade from my 800D, but I was planning to go smaller.. what have you done OcUK

Aneskimo · 10 Sep 2013 at 17:57

If I was doing a watercooled build I would give this case a go, I been a fan since the moment I saw it.

Noticed this new case just got a Platinum Award from Vortez!!

Phanteks certainly look like they will give some of the established players quite a lot to think about in the coming months when you consider the features on this case and the fact it comes in priced well below the competition.

doyll · 24 Sep 2013 at 19:11

Just waiting for mine to arrive... next month.

Best written review and build I've see is Jesse's on TheModZoo.
Best video review is Bill and Jesse's MonsterMod review on YouTube

swiftmetal · 24 Sep 2013 at 19:15

This is an insane case will have to invest in one for my next build.

doyll · 24 Sep 2013 at 19:21

Really does give us lots of options for doing things. I'm almost embarrassed building mine air cooled. But it will be a great aircooled case!

There are so many easy ways to do simple mods to personalize it.

Has there been any update on when these will be available?

I only ask as Phanteks themselves aren't shipping to customers till the 18th.

That is for Phanteks USA based in California,USA. The containers coming from China going to California are on a different shipping route than those coming to Europe and UK.

I know that's not much help but it's the best I can give.

Came up with these renditions of what 4x 40mm, 6x 40mm and 10x 40mm caster bases will look like. Think I prefer the 6x caster. :confused:

Hakanese · 17 Oct 2013 at 12:17

my vote goes for the x6, x10 makes it look like a tank *LMAO*
