Phanteks has introduced a visually striking new PC case, the Exo 626s, at CES 2026. This unique chassis features a multi-chamber design aimed at optimizing airflow and thermal management by isolating key components. Currently, this innovative case is exclusively available as part of select CyberPowerPC prebuilt systems.
Key Takeaways
- Phanteks’ new Exo 626s case boasts a distinctive multi-chamber design.
- The case is currently only available in CyberPowerPC prebuilt configurations.
- It features dedicated compartments for the PSU, motherboard, GPU, and a 360mm AIO cooler.
Innovative Multi-Chamber Design
The Phanteks Exo 626s stands out with its segmented internal layout, creating separate chambers for crucial PC components. This design aims to improve thermal performance by preventing heat from one component from directly impacting others. The case appears open-frame at first glance but is meticulously engineered with distinct zones.
Component Compartments and Airflow
- GPU Chamber: Accommodates large, up to 4-slot graphics cards, featuring mesh top and bottom for ample airflow, along with an RGB LED strip.
- PSU Chamber: Located at the bottom, it includes an RGB strip and front-facing I/O ports (2x USB-A, 1x USB-C, 1x 3.5mm audio).
- AIO Chamber: Positioned next to the motherboard, this section is designed for a 360mm liquid cooler and features a mesh front. It allows for direct routing of water cooling tubes into the motherboard chamber.
- Motherboard Chamber: This main compartment has a glass front panel. The rear provides access to the AIO radiator and the back of the motherboard, with space for an additional 120mm fan.
Exclusive CyberPowerPC Integration
Unfortunately for DIY builders, the Exo 626s is not available as a standalone product at this time. It is being offered exclusively as part of a high-end CyberPowerPC prebuilt system. This configuration includes:
- Intel Core Ultra 285K CPU
- Nvidia RTX 5080 GPU
- Asus TUF Z890 Motherboard
- 32GB DDR5 6400 MHz RAM
- 2TB WD Black SN8100 PCIe Gen 5 SSD
- Bitspower 360mm ARGB AIO Liquid Cooler
- Corsair RM1000X 1000W 80+ Gold PSU
The price for this complete system is set at $3,500. While the case’s innovative design is impressive, its exclusivity to an expensive prebuilt has drawn some criticism, with many enthusiasts hoping for a future standalone release.
