Phanteks NV5 (PH-NV523TG_DBK01) Showcase Mid-Tower Chassis, High Airflow Performance, Integrated D/A-RGB Lighting, Seamless Tempered Glass Design, 8 Fan Positions, Black

If you're wanting to get the Lian LI o11 Dynamic look but don't want that case because it's overused, then this case is for you. It's much more spacious and works really well if you have a monster card like the 4090.There are so many configuration options with this case. Want your bottom fans to lay flat instead of an angle? You can change that.Want your PSU to be lower for cable management? You can do that.Want to remove the front IO ports entirely or move them to the rear of the case? YOU CAN DO THAT.The back of the case has all these slots making cable management EASY! You can hide every cable with the back door panel.The button up top makes it super easy to control the lights.The case comes with zip ties, extra screws, A GPU BRACKET HOLDER (shown in pic) AND they even include a plastic screw box kit for you to hold all extra screws.... CRAZY.The case also has tons of options for cable management on the back panel.AIRFLOW IS OUTSTANDING...Now for the few negatives. Trust me these are really just nitpicks...- Too complicated to take panels off. You need to remove the top one first, the side glass panel, THEN the front panel... They're connected with screws and you'll need to whip out the good ol screwdriver every time you need to go in to adjust anything.. (coming from an old o11 case this isn't ideal)- HEAVY. But tbh this shouldnt be a bother.. it's kind of expected with this beast of a case.- No way to control the onboard RGB lights via software.. limited to what onboard options there are. (Doesn't personally bother me but I did want to point that out)- Good luck getting this delivered with no damage. Mine arrived about a month after I ordered it and it was supposed to arrive within 2 days, then 1 week, then 2 weeks. Got lucky and it eventually arrived after cancelling, however, it came damaged with a big ol' dent in the back of the case. You cant see it when on the desk so it's not a huge deal I suppose. But for the price, I definitely expect it to come in perfect condition.Summary:I love this case. It's filled with lots of thoughtful options to configure your build YOUR way. All while retaining an eye candy look. It's pricey but worth it for the aesthetics and airflow. I would only recommend this case if you are wanting a bigger case than a Mid Tower case and you plan on adding 9-12 fans. Really, I recommend 12 fans for the best look. If you do any less, it will look weird and you're better off getting something smaller like the NZXT flow or o11 dynamic etc. Overall, pleased with the case. Just wish it didn't come damaged for me! Oh well!

A small list of pro's and con'sPro- Easily the most beautiful case I have built in- Tons of functional aesthetics- Hidden routing holes almost everywhere in this case, making the wire routing superb- Lots of room in the front of the case to RGB up and design, especially for some water cooling- Door covers and routing channels/Velcro makes cable management a breeze- Covering the routing holes and hiding them under motherboard and covers makes it one of the cleanest builds i've seenCons- The back side of the case is small and restrictive, will easily overburden it with cables if you have too many (This was designed with D30-120 daisy chain fans or Lian li equivalent for sure)- You have to remove 1-3 panels to even get inside the front or back, which can be annoying for hotswappability- The clearance on bottom fans and MB can be very tight, I would recommend 120mm fans on bottom over 140 it says is possible as it actually bent my usb header on my MB which forced me to bend it back and reroute it.It is easily one of the best looking, and one of the better designed cases I have used. If you're expecting a large back half of the case or hot-swappability you might be slightly disappointment in this case, but as a showcase PC it will definitely deliver. I also recommend custom sleeve cables or 90 degree ATX pins to allow the grommet covers to easily fit.

This is one big case! This is more of a Full Size case in height and actually quite narrow for a dual chamber.Absolutely beautiful case and every part feels well built and is very well finished. Phanteks has an amazing design here.So big and so easy to work in, you’ll be done in no time! So many thoughtful cable routes all over the case.The rear has cable runs to keep all your cables looking nice, and to top that all off it has a rear door to cover even all that up!This case looks good front to back and is easily the centerpiece of your gaming setup!All this comes at the cost of weight and size however. If you’re a custom water builder, get ready to need help moving this beast! Be careful and list safely!
