Phanteks NV7 is the Case You Need for Gigantic Graphics Cards and Four Radiators

With the new NV7, Phanteks has understood where things are headed with 600 W enthusiast-segment graphics cards, 300 W processors, and motherboards with enormous VRM heatsinks, and decided to craft a case that—with a little thoughtful design, gives you room for gigantic high-end graphics cards with plenty of room for their cabling; as many as four liquid-cooling radiators, large E-ATX motherboards, and plenty of room to spare for DIY liquid-cooling components such as pump-reservoirs and hard tubing.

Available in black and white trims, the Phanteks NV7 has a two-sided glasshouse, with radiator mounts along the top-, bottom, side-, and rear-panels. Three of these can hold 360 mm radiators, while the rear one is good for a 240 mm radiator or a distro-plate like the one shown in the example build below. The PSU bay is located sideways on the top, such that an entire half of the case needn't be partitioned out for it. The case also features some nearly-executed embedded addressable-RGB strips, and includes an ARGB controller.

This style of cases has become the beta male for all PC builders.

Low quality comment!: Will I have to pay an increased shipping price and separate porter service to bring it into the room due to the size and weight of this box? Also conspicuously missing are handles that would make it easier to move it myself, especially when it already has an assembled configuration inside and the weight is even greater.

I am disappointed that 420mm rads aren't supported.

Why did they move the PSU from the bottom to the top behind the MB tray vs the Enthoo Pro 2? This looks like that with a solid Glass front.

It's obviously because of the side-sloping bottom layout. It's hardly helpful. It could be to attract more eyes and $$$. A new fashion trend?

For me they basically took a Enthoo Pro 2 body and tried their best to make it an 011-D.

Its what enables use of 240mm rad/2x120 fans on rear panel while keeping the case reasonably thin(though quite a bit tall). Its just a small modification on old design of top mounted psus.

I've got a 4x120 sitting around here I'd love to use again but alas, yet to find a case.

There are 2 options left for you. If you have the experience, you can design and build a computer case yourself according to your needs. The second option is to order such a personalized case from a friend who can make it, or from a company. There are companies that produce computer cases, including only one piece, to the customer's order. I have no idea if the prices for making by a company are affordable.

Not enough space? Say it with me: Open bench! Open bench! Open bench!
Unless you have kids or pets, of course - not only they might get themselves injured they will destroy your computer.

Clearly from the pics a 420 is supported on the bottom and I bet the side panel supports 480 too.

I can get a retro steel chonker from mountain mods and have them annodize it black for like 450. Will house a 120.3 as well. Which come to think of it.... as they don't dable in bullshit, is probably the best choice.

So apparently size DOES matter after all.....

"We can rebuild it, make it bigger, faster, stronger"..... well at least they got the 1st part right, hehehe :)

In the words of the immortal Schlongmasta: "Bigger is ALWAYS betta"

360mm max, check the PR.

Check the PR, pics right there for you

What a weird thread. Also when did everyone turn into bonehead? The only way this resembles any of the cases people are talking about is the side intake.

Look at the bottom in the 2nd pic. What fan spacing do you see?
