Phanteks has expanded its XT chassis lineup with three new compact ATX cases—the XT M5, XT V5, and XT V5-LCD—each fitting a 360mm radiator and full ATX power supply into a small desktop footprint. The XT V5-LCD adds a built-in 7-inch display, and pricing starts at USD $79.99.
Phanteks has added three new models to its XT chassis series: the XT M5, XT V5, and XT V5-LCD. First shown at Computex 2026 and now reported by TechPowerUp and KitGuru, these compact ATX cases are designed to fit a standard 360mm radiator and a full-size ATX power supply into a notably small desktop footprint, according to both outlets.
The XT M5 targets airflow-focused builders with a mesh front panel and support for up to ten 120mm fans, while the XT V5 swaps in glass front and side panels for a more showcase-oriented build, trading some fan capacity (down to seven 120mm positions) for its bottom-mounted fan set aimed directly at GPU cooling. The XT V5-LCD builds on the V5's layout by adding a built-in 7-inch display that can be customized through Phanteks' Windows app (called Nexling by TechPowerUp and Nexlinq by KitGuru). All three cases ship with a 120mm rear fan and a 360mm single-frame ARGB fan assembly pre-installed, plus an integrated GPU support bracket and USB 3.2 Gen2x2 Type-C front I/O.
By packing 360mm radiator and full ATX PSU compatibility into a smaller chassis, Phanteks is positioning the new XT models for builders who want high-end cooling without a full-size tower. Pricing starts at USD $79.99 for the XT M5 and XT V5, with the XT V5-LCD priced at USD $109.99 for its added display functionality.
