Video Description

#phanteks #pcbuild #asuspcdiy - Small size, huge value? That's definitely the vibes we're getting with the Phanteks XT M3, AND for under $50?! Well, let's talk about that... Timecodes, though I don't recommend skipping for visual narrative reasons!

(MML COMICS) It goes without saying that Micro ATX has been one of the most popular form factors featured on the channel, so it was only a matter of a time until the XT M3 from Phanteks landed on the build desk. As noted, this version came without any fans as standard, the result... a price tag of just £49.99 here in the UK. It's hard to pick any faults at all with the price to value in mind! Sure, the materials aren't premium, but the XT M3 punches above it's weight when you consider any other cases sitting at a similar price. With airflow and GPU compatibility in mind, this case is unmatched at the price too. I opted to install Phantek's own T30 fans throughout (we do love the T30's here on the channel) and the airflow exceeded my expectations, in part due to the well thought-out fan cut-outs around the chassis.

The Phanteks XT M3 is by far one of the best value Micro ATX Cases I've had the pleasure of building with. Sure, it comes with a few catches, such as the limitation of just 120mm fans... but with that shortcoming aside, there's a lot to love with this one. Premium build with a cheap case, or low budget build... the XT M3 ticks all the right boxes for small size with excellent compatibility. Could you see yourself with the Phanteks XT M3?
