Good stuff. Looks like yet another well executed case from Phanteks

[23RO_UK 34]

Oh my God!!!  :blink:  :o  

 

I'm in love  :wub:

 

That is one great looking case for sure and incorporates the continuation of fan mounting slots  B)

[Bill Owen 357]

I like that the side panels are hinged!

[Grimm 11]

That is aweome. Seeing the front panel off already made the ideas flow.

[John-Ivar Rubach 21]

This could be the one...   bring on the review  :D

Is it going to be on sale? :O 

[Grimm 11]

Will you guys be doing a review and system install?

[Michael Kaiser 62]

These guys are starting to make the other companies look bad. I feel a case war coming on and the winners will be enthusiasts.

[Bill Owen 357]

I'm working on video review right now..hehe

 

[Grimm 11]

Sweet. I am looking forward to it.

My review of the new Phantek's Enthoo EVOLV MATX & ITX case, 

[Grimm 11]

Nice review! I am a car guy myself and hope to see more.

[Bill Owen 357]

Cool, I'm going to start Vlogs, that feature both PCs, Cars, and anything local that I find interesting or entertaining. The local Mod Munkys are always doing cool projects and I have lots friends who are Artists, Musicians or own shops that cater to performance cars. The key is to present everything in manner so it's interesting or educational for everyone.

RAWR  :wub:   In this case though I wish the interior was the same color as the exterior (all white). White cases have such a clean look, but I always go back to the darkside (black) :lol:

[Bill Owen 357]

I'm sure it was a cost decision to use Black chassis for both versions of the case, but Agreed!

Bill just a thought. Have you considered doing your 900D air flow mod to this. I would be very interested to see the results!

[Bill Owen 357]

If Phanteks will wholesale their bezels to me, Yes!
