Segotep T1 White Full-Tower E-ATX Gaming PC Case, Graphics Card Vertical Mounting w/Tempered Glass Side Panel, USB 3.0 Type-C I/O Panel, Cable Management/Optional 360mm Radiator (No Fan Included)

This case exceeded all of my expectations! It’s a bit pricey, but well worth it. The overall quality is top of the line, and it has a unique cooling setup that functions very well. The most unique qualities about this case are the vertical mounted GPU, and the display glass being on the right side instead of the left.I purchased this case specifically for the display being on the right side. I researched a good bit looking for a large, good quality, right display case. My research led me here and I’m so incredibly happy I made this purchase. You won’t be disappointed if you’re thinking about this case for one of the many reasons I listed.

As an enthusiast who values both aesthetics and performance, I decided to invest in this case and put it to the test. After extensive usage and evaluation, I am delighted to share my experience and thoughts in this review.Design and Build Quality (5)The Phoenix T1 instantly stands out with its vertical GPU mount, (the key reason I picked this case) as it prevents sag. The sturdy steel frame not only adds durability but also provides a solid foundation for a clean and clutter-free build. The silver accent on the front panel adds a touch of elegance to the overall design. However, the case's size might be a bit bulky for some, requiring a relatively larger space to accommodate its dimensions.Installation and Cable Management (5)Setting up a system inside the T1 is a breeze, thanks to its well-thought-out layout. The ample interior space ensures easy installation of components, and the numerous cable management options make it effortless to achieve a clean and organized build. The case provides ample routing holes, velcro straps, and a spacious chamber behind the motherboard tray to hide unsightly cables.Cooling Performance (4.75)The well-ventilated design, along with the support for 7 fans and 2, 360 radiators, ensures efficient heat dissipation, even during demanding tasks or overclocking. The included dust filters are easy to remove and clean, effectively preventing dust accumulation and maintaining optimal airflow.Expansion and Compatibility (4.75)With support for ATX, Micro-ATX, and Mini-ITX motherboards, the T1 offers excellent compatibility for various build configurations. The case provides ample room for high-performance graphics cards, accommodating sizes of up to 345mm. It also offers plenty drive bays for storage expansion.The T1 incorporates several noteworthy features that enhance the overall user experience. The front IO panel includes 2, USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 ports, and a type C along with separate audio jacks for easy connectivity.In conclusion, the T1 is a great case that combines striking design, solid build quality, excellent cooling performance, and extensive compatibility options. Its sleek appearance, coupled with effective cable management and ample room for expansion, make it an ideal choice for both gaming enthusiasts and professional PC builders. While there are a few minor areas for improvement, such as the rubber grommets and drive bay count, but they do not overshadow the case's overall appeal. If you are looking for a feature-rich, visually appealing, and high-performing PC case, the Segotep Phoenix T1 is well worth a look.

The case has a very unique distinction of having the mainboard orientation turned so the back panel of the mainboard actually ends up at the top of the case. It has a magnetic cover so you don't directly see the cables. I added a magnetic color changing light to the i/o compartment to aid with seeing the ports when needing to plug anything else in. Overall, this has been on of the neatest and easiest hardware assemblies I've ever done. There are plenty of cable routing options to keep cables neat. The crossflow air movement strategy combined with rotated mainboard looks like it will greatly reduce the usual airflow routing issues I've seen with most cases. I have this paired with a 360mm cpu chiller, and the fans for the chiller are able to do the bulk of air movement in the case, the power supply handles the rest just nicely. The arrangement of the drives also reduces the overall noise making this the quietest desktop pc I've ever heard while keeping everything surprisingly cool even when gaming or running an AI from an Nvidia rtl4070.

Pros :Its big...really big. Not as heavy as, say a Corsair Trooper but up there.Glass side is nice...except its on "the other side" compared to non-inverted cases (ie glass is on the right side)Cable management is really good.Front ports are RIGHT at the front of the top and easily accessed.I really, really, liike how the "back panel" ports on this case are actually in the TOP of the case not the back, and very well hidden with cable routing and a nice cover.Cons :The inverted case means your thoughts on airflow from historical precedents, needs to change. Hisitorically tour video card would be facing front to back, so air pumped iin at the front and out the back kinda swooshed along it nicely. With an inverted case, the video card lie top to bottom...effectiively a big wall of circuitry blocking front-rear airflow. This can cause SIGNIFICANT temperatures in your CPU and even seriously restrict cool air flow into AIO radiators. I iended up adding 4 x 120mm additional fans to direct the air where I wanted it and done properly the suspended GPU becomes your ally in airflow rather than the dreaded enemy.I would strongly recommend this case to anyone considering a full tower. some great ideas, good cable management, and doesnt look too gaudy.

Note that Its coming completely barebones. Not a single fan (as advertised).Pluses:Great for displaying with the window to your left, instead of your right. Cable management slots make it look extra neat. Great airflow, my 14900K runs at 31C with 7 fans running below 700 rpm. The component fit is snug and the case feels solid. Support is pretty quick to respond.Cons:The horrendous manual and Amazon ad photos make it seem it comes with a side mounting bracket for the GPU. It is not included. There's no optical drive bays so no Blu Ray player. May need to make it external. This case is now discontinued. I'm glad I bought one.For some reason, Amazon doesn't let me give 4 stars. It is not a 5 star product.
