So finally got some time to swap my cases.  I'm changing from a Corsair 220T to an older Phanteks offering.  I want to do this as I'd like a 5 1/4 inch front drive bay again.  My budget was 0 pounds and pence for this as I have the 'new' case kicking about.

 

I don't know the model of this case.  But I bought it over a decade ago as 'B' Grade from over lockers in the UK

It has USB 3 at the front at least and the all important 5 1/4 driver bay.

 

This is the hardware going in it.  MSi B650 tomahawk, AMD Ryzen 7 7700X 32GB Corsair DDR5 6000 RAM and a Gigabyte RTX 4070 Super

It went quite smoothly.  The old Phanteks has a lot of room in it.PXL_20250804_031659056_MP.thumb.jpg.45e5aaf46dab3a67123bb0b830891b04.jpg

 

Kept the used Bitfenix 140mm fans in there cause...why not??

Cable management is nice and easy in big cases 😁

Looks quite sticky indeed.

This is a Phanteks Enthoo Pro M case.

Whats with all the white spots and dust on the B650 motherboard?  Did it live inside a take away restaurant?

My stuff works for it's keep.  It hasn't got time to be neat and tidy.  

 

Seriously though I just pulled it from the 220T and popped it straight in the Phanteks.  Not fussed about a bit of dust here and there 🤣

Was waiting for someone to notice that.  It's been with me since I built my FX8120 system when they were out 😂.
