Phanteks XT M5, V5, and V5-LCD Available: Incredibly Affordable Prices Compared to the Offer
Phanteks has announced the availability and prices of the new XT M5, V5, and V5-LCD, three compact ATX cases seen in preview at Computex 2026. The new models expand the XT range with three proposals that maintain the philosophy of compactness at the core of the lineup, but without compromising compatibility with high-end hardware for gamers who refuse to settle.
The hallmark of the new series is the optimized dual-chamber internal layout, which allows for the installation of a standard 360 mm radiator in the top and an ATX power supply in a chassis of fairly contained dimensions. All three cases also include a GPU support bracket, useful for ensuring greater stability for larger and heavier custom graphics cards.
The new Phanteks XT models come with a cooling configuration that is ready to use. Each model integrates a 120 mm rear fan and a single-frame 360 mm S25 ARGB fan unit that offers optimized airflow with higher static pressure and less loss along with customizable RGB lighting.
The Phanteks XT M5 focuses entirely on airflow thanks to its mesh front panel. This model supports up to 10 120 mm fans, a feature that makes it particularly suitable for configurations with high-performance components.
The Phanteks XT V5 takes a more aesthetic-oriented approach, featuring tempered glass front and side panels. The three S25 ARGB fans located at the bottom provide direct cooling to the GPU, aiming to balance thermal performance and visual impact.
The most advanced model in the range is the Phanteks XT V5-LCD, which incorporates all the features of the XT V5 but adds a 7-inch integrated LCD display. The screen can be managed via the Nexlinq app for Windows, allowing customization with system information, images, or animations.
In addition to supporting 360 mm radiators, the new cases offer ample cable management space, compatibility with standard motherboards, and the Nexlinq ARGB system for lighting control. The front I/O panel includes a USB 3.2 Gen2x2 Type-C port and a USB 3.0 port.
Phanteks has communicated the official prices for the European market for the new XT series models. The XT M5 and V5 will be priced at €69.90 each. The more complete XT V5-LCD, equipped with the 7-inch integrated display, will arrive at a price of €109.90.
