Phanteks NV5
The NV5 is a glass-sided mid-tower organized around vertical motherboard presentation, side intake, and a covered lower power-supply area. Its published 440 mm graphics-card envelope is generous, while the E-ATX limit is explicitly width-bounded; front/side cooling positions should not be conflated with the conventional front mount used by mesh towers.
MODEL SCOPE: Specifications describe the named enclosure generation, not every visually similar case or retail bundle. Published maximums are component-envelope limits; verify the exact SKU, installed fans/radiators, connectors, and manufacturer manual before purchase or assembly.

Fit notes for this layout
The attractive open side is a presentation surface, not a forward-facing mesh intake. Cooling planning should account for intake filtering, side radiator tubing, the 170 mm GPU-width envelope and access to the service chamber.
- For a side 360 mm radiator, check radiator-plus-fan thickness against long/wide GPUs and plan tube routing before installing the graphics card.
- E-ATX support stops at 280 mm board width; wider EEB-class boards may cover cable openings or mounting hardware.
- The D-RGB fan/lighting controller and bundled fan count vary by package; the NV5 enclosure itself does not imply a particular fan kit.
