Xigmatek Pantheon case review
In the left side panel we find two large vents, but contrary to the front panel the case doesn't have any dust filters here. The left vent is located near the CPU and GPU area and can be used to install two 120/140mm fans to add extra cooling capacity. Behind the vent near the HDD area we find one 120mm white LED fan preinstalled, and room for an optional second 120mm fan.
On the right-side panel we find the same HDD vent as on the left panel. One 120mm LED fan is preinstalled, and there's room for a second one.
Just like the rest of the case, the rear is all-black. You can see the provision for a 240/280mm top radiator and pre-cut holes for watercooling tubes, a 140mm rear fan, the PCI slot covers, and the bottom-mounted PSU plate.
Below is a closeup of the four cut-outs for watercooler tubing.
Usually the top is among the least interesting aspects of a case but not with the Pantheon! Pushing a lever enables you to remove the middle panel of the case's top, which hides a room designed to fit a 240/280mm watercooling radiator. If you don't like watercooling, you can use this space for two 120/140mm fans or one 170mm fan.
Alternatively, you could also use this as storage space for items like USB sticks, some cables, a mouse, DVDs, etc.
The only downside is that Xigmatek didn't provide dust filters.
The next picture shows off the pre-made holes for guiding watercooling tubing to the radiator space.
Turning over the case reveals the case feet as well as two removable dust filters, one for the power supply's fan and one for an optional 120/140mm fan.
