Introduction

The Twisted Minds Phantek-07 Mid Tower ATX Gaming PC Case is a stylish and feature-rich case designed for gamers and enthusiasts. With its tempered glass front and side panels, 7x RGB fans, and generous space for components, the Phantek-07 aims to deliver both aesthetics and functionality. I’ve been using this case for the past few weeks, putting it through its paces with a high-end PC build. Here’s my in-depth review of the TM-245-3-B model.

Features

The Phantek-07 is packed with features that cater to serious PC builders:

• Tempered Glass Panels: Show off your build with the clear tempered glass front and side panels. The glass is thick and feels durable.
• 7x RGB Fans: The pre-installed fans add a splash of color and excellent airflow. You can control the RGB lighting using the included controller.
• Spacious Interior: The case supports up to 420mm AIO liquid coolers, allowing for powerful CPU cooling options. There’s also ample room for graphics cards up to 420mm in length.
• Versatile Drive Bays: The Phantek-07 offers 3.5″ HDD and 2.5″ SSD drive bays, ensuring you have enough storage space for your needs.
• I/O Panel: Conveniently located on the top front panel, the I/O panel includes USB 3.0, USB Type-C, HD audio jacks, power, and reset buttons.
• Dust Filters: The case includes a bottom dust filter to keep your components clean.

Performance

The Phantek-07 excels in terms of airflow and cooling. The 7x RGB fans effectively move air throughout the case, keeping my components cool even under heavy load. The spacious interior also helps with airflow, allowing for efficient heat dissipation. I haven’t encountered any thermal throttling issues, even while playing demanding games like Cyberpunk 2077.

The case’s design makes cable management a breeze. There’s ample space behind the motherboard tray for tucking away wires, and the included Velcro straps help keep everything organized. This results in a clean and aesthetically pleasing build.

Pros & Cons

Pros:

• Excellent airflow and cooling
• Stylish tempered glass panels
• 7x RGB fans with controller
• Spacious interior for component compatibility
• Easy cable management

Cons:

• The side panel glass can get fingerprint smudges easily, requiring regular cleaning.
• The included RGB controller is a bit bulky and could be integrated into the front panel for a cleaner look.

Final Verdict

The Twisted Minds Phantek-07 Mid Tower ATX Gaming PC Case is an excellent choice for those seeking a combination of style and functionality. It offers exceptional airflow, generous space for components, and a clean build experience. While there are a couple of minor drawbacks, they are easily outweighed by the case’s strengths. I highly recommend the Phantek-07 to any PC builder looking for a case that delivers both performance and aesthetics.
