Phanteks Project 916 - CES2016

Radox-0 · 8 Jan 2016 at 00:55

Although only a concept, a lovely and gorgeous case. Not too sure about the secondary ITX system, but plenty of rad space which looks nice. Hopefully its released. I imagine it would be around the In Win 909 price, but looks much nicer.

Phanteks just keep banging out quality cases! I'd just watched a review on the P400 $70 chassis before seeing this, whatever the price point, Phanteks seem to have a great option...

Damn, the EVOLV ATX full glass option is stunning!

~Mike~ · 8 Jan 2016 at 08:35

That does look stunning.

That Evolv ATX does look really amazing with those glass side panels. The rest of the metal on that case is made of pretty thick metal so a pretty nice combo.

Indeed, they just seem to be smashing out nice cases at every price point.

Thanks luggs. I had the evolv silver on pre order but just canceled for that glass one. Too nice!

That 916 looks great and could be my next case.

Dual systems are the future!

who ever built into the 916 needs to learn how to watercool properly.

Personally I prefer the 909 to this, but I do really like this also. It is nice to see some other companies are following the thick alu and tempered glass route. There are not enough In Win cases released to keep me happy

Yeah they did not manage the best of job on this case, that GPU looked quiet wonky and random LED strips starting from the grommet hole looked odd.

In win are indeed awesome. Love their 805 out of the recent bunch the most, would be my go to case if I get bored of the Tou or this if I want to go big

Looks gorgeous. Can't wait for my next build, so many good cases to choose from at the moment.

A few people in the states contacted phanteks and we're told March release. I think I may go back to my order for the standard silver. I'm a little worried about how distracting the glass one will be given my computer is on the desk next to my monitor what with random leds, stunning case though.

So guessing could be april

I would like them to bring out a full ATX cube case

Do you mean a glass type case? There is the Lian-Li PC-O8 or PC-08S (both very similar)

Grumbledook · 10 Jan 2016 at 14:18

Nah metal is fine, but the size and shape, dual chamber design, wider and shorter than a mid tower.

That just about fits my timescales for my next build, so think I may hang on for it. I was looking at the In Win 805 but that case is so exposed on both sides I think it would be a nightmare for cable management etc.

Thanks for the heads-up on timescales though mate
