Case Phanteks View Matrix Black - E-ATX, Middle Tower, Tempered Glass

Phanteks Case E-ATX - View Matrix Black is a middle tower case, aimed at more serious gaming and enthusiast builds with large boards – from Mini ITX to Extended ATX. The black chassis combines steel, aluminum, and tempered glass with a mesh panel for better airflow. You get four factory-installed M25-120 D-RGB fans and a spacious interior that allows for serious air or liquid cooling. The dimensions of 454 x 228 x 588 mm provide a stable volume for components and cables, without the case being absurdly huge.

What you get

The interior is designed for flexibility – support for ATX and Extended ATX boards allows you to fit more massive platforms with many PCIe devices. With up to 3 x 120 mm fans at the bottom, 3 x 120 or 2 x 140 mm on top, 2 x 120 mm on the side, and 1 x 120/140 mm at the back, you can build a serious air tunnel, while the added 3 x M25-120 D-RGB fans at the front and 1 x M25-120 D-RGB fan at the back ensure ready out-of-the-box airflow. The tempered glass gives you visibility into the build and D-RGB lighting, while the mesh fabric and steel frame help with lower temperatures and good sturdiness. With 2 x 3.5" and 2 x 2.5" bays, you have enough space for a combination of SSDs and large HDDs for games, projects, or media.

Who it is suitable for

This case is suitable if you are planning a mid-range to high-end gaming build, a streaming configuration, or a powerful workstation with a large ATX/E-ATX board and a long GPU. It fits well if you care about good airflow, a visible build through glass, and modern front I/O with Type-C. If you are looking for an ultra-compact system or need an optical drive with a 5.25" bay, you will not find them here.

The combination of spacious internal volume, four included D-RGB fans, and quality materials makes the Phanteks View Matrix Black a very successful base for a clean, well-cooled, and visually finished build.
