Yeah, they sent another one out to you or something didn't they? Seems odd as they put that same controller in a load of their cases don't they? Wonder if they have had a quality issue with it. Not going to stop me buying it but it's a shame, not like I can move my bay controller over to this case
In Fact I never want to own a case with external bays again 
Damn shame about the front fans, only a 10mm deficit too, cheers for the measurements though

No I had bought a second one the one with the cover, same thing extra bit of plastic.
What you should be able to do is 2 X 240 and a 120, might try that myself get a bit more puff.

You could stick some voltage reducers and drop to 7v, cheap option
Wonder if I can get some 9v ones as that would probably be ideal.

There's a phanteks rep on the forums I believe I saw one in the preview thread, may be worth dropping him a line.
Yeah, that was my backup plan, throw in a matched 120 I like uniformity.. even on bit's you can't see. I'm a freak I know.
Quite a few people have been saying about the restrictive airflow, It may actually be worth phanteks making a replacement front, could keep it solid, just remove the stylised bends on the face, so just a flat sheet of unbent 3mm aluminium. The recesses of the side panels should allow for vastly increased airflow while still maintaining the overall feel of the unit. Myself I'm happy to just take the front off while benching etc, I'm not really too bothered about running a peak overclock 24/7, the quieter system side sure, but I'm fairly confident of an almost silent system at idle and a quiet one in gaming especially with the growing popularity of AIO coolers for both CPU and GFX and a modest custom loop is, I guess a consideration, think i'd go for a few slimline copper rads with a medium pitched FPI, nothing beyond 2 card crossfire and after the production shrink. Think I'll be good.
The Phanteks Rep is watching, don't worry I'm sure reports will be going back to HQ. He is very friendly and is doing me some favours which is great because he liked my Midas build. I'll drop him a line and ask about our feedback if you like guys.
Maybe I could make a list of revisions they could consider in post #2 ?
I've added this to post #2 if you want additions please let me know. If you feel the text needs editing then feel free to give some constructive criticism.
1) Consider improving the airflow via the front panel.
2) Consider revised/additional placement for motherboard 24pin cable gromit.

Run the cable slot above psu from back to front, not side on, you just end up with a lump of cables.
All easy modifications to add in factory at no extra expense.

Consider moving or extending PCIe pwr pass through as many gfx cards will be notably shorter from this point on given the form factor of the Fury X and Nvidea also adopting HBM in coming generations.
3x 140 mm in the front. increase height slightly if needed. Just 10mm short.. (!)
A slight height bump would allow watercool users to install 3x 360mm rads, that was picked up in a few of the reviews, and also allow for the 8th PCI expansion port often need for x4 gpu setups

Think we are basically redesigning the case now
But it's rather puzzling these points were not thought out when Phanteks had it on the drawing board, unless they thought everyone would use ATX / 1 GPU and an AIO.
Perhaps they need some beta testers.

The included fan controller needs a big going over.

Thanks for the valuable feedback guys. We'll be checking this out.
Thanks Yun, I'm sure the guys here will be happy to know you are following the thread. Hopefully the feedback will be constructive and useful both ways
I've added RMA email address to post #2 also guys, for those who are having fan controller issues or any others problems then please use it.
If you have an issue with any of your Phanteks products, please use this email address for direct help.

I'm going to be home again Friday, can't wait to see the case in the flesh and post my pic finally so I can add myself to RoH

The Fan Hub is hardly worth the cost of sending it back TBH.
Going to drain mine down and try a 280 Rad in the front and move the res to try and grab a few Degrees hopefully.
Then sit back and wait for the modified V2 Track version to arrive.

You dont have to send it back they are just sending me a new hub free of charge.
Be interesting to see if the replacements work.
I have the one suppled with the case.
Plus this one.

Both the same PCB, none will even spin up a fan.
That's great news. I can't wait to show you what they send me even though I had no rma issue, just because I asked if I could have it.
Yes it certainly appears that way in most options. I'd like to compile a list of rad combos that work for Post #2.
So please list the specs of the rads you guys are using so I can make a list for new owners to refer to

I've noticed that my controller does not seem to alter the speeds of my fans? Sits at a constant speed despite setting up a fan profile.
