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

The media could not be loaded. The Nv7 is a great chassis, the level of cooling it can support is very good, from an army of fans to full blown out custom water cooling set ups, the versatility of this case is something to be said, you can fit any MOBO and GPU in what ever configuration you choose to do, the lighting on the inside panel is a nice touch, the case is something different if you don’t want to follow the o11 train or any other lian li case that isn’t overused, my build has 15 Lian Li fans and a 360mm aio + a 7 inch display monitor. The only step above this is it’s bigger sister the Nv9

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!

The media could not be loaded. Built my first setup in 2023. I chose a case that was way too small for my parts and regretted it. The phanteks nv5 was a case that was a little more money than my last one, but the money was so worth it because of the better airflow and better quality overall. This case is a huge case and has room to spare for your huge gpu.

So, as most seasoned consumers do, I always study a product’s rating & reviews PRIOR to purchasing… trust that I’ve made that mistake before, and they’ll never catch me slippin’, nor will they “cash me outside”, ever again!💯Now considering the affordable price point, when it comes to Phantek’s NV5, Phantek really delivered on quality. From the primo quality of the packaging (shoot… even the design of the packaging and the way it comes encased in multiple layers including a slip on cover that I now personally use as a dust cover😎), to the pre-installed, adjustable, GPU support, and let’s not forget the nifty cable management system that not only helps their customers keep their cables cleanly managed, but also ensures that they’ll actually be able to close “the guts side” back up! - you can really tell that Phantek put A LOT of thought into this tower’s design.💯As I stated earlier, I did A TON of product research, placing towers in my cart only to eventually receive the “bro, you CANNOT put anything else in your cart until you either delete some of these towers, or pull the trigger!” message. I’d like to add, that I didn’t only do this exclusively on Amazon, but on pretty much every online market I could think of. I would add a tower that caught my eye, and then another, and another, only to find out this one had piss poor airflow, or that one didn’t support a 360mm water cooler. It was EXHAUSTING!Needless to say, I FINALLY landed on this tower, the Phantek NV5, and boy am I glad I did, because she’s not only purdy, but she doesn’t know how to cook… your components that is. Given the fact that it’s not a front intake tower, but rather is a side intake, if you know how to configure your cooling system correctly, the airflow is pretty darn decent. I actually opted to add several fan covers that act as directional louvres to force the incoming air back towards the CPU and GPU, as opposed to just having it bounce off the opposite sides glass panel and praying that my exhaust fans pull enough cool air towards the components.It does have what is called DRGB… I did look it up, and from what I remember, I believe it’s proprietary to Phantek’s products, but don’t quote me on that. Yet, when researching, I came across several of their other DRGB products (DRGB accent strips, DRGB fans, etc.), which if you have the money to purchase those products, I believe once combined would add another whole level of sweetness to your build. However, I will say that those add-ons are INSANELY overpriced, and therefore RIDICULOUSLY overrated. 🙄 If I remember correctly, a three pack of their DRGB fans was priced at around $80-100, and the DRGB accent strip lights kit was about the same? Yeeeeah… uh, no thanks! 🤮Anyway, to finish this up, I would definitely recommend the Phantek NV5 if you’re looking to upgrade from your cheap tower that you purchased during a NewEgg clearance sale. It’s fresh, it’s sleek, it’s sexy, and she sure is spacious!💯🤘🏻😎
