Great Wall Phantom M5B Case Ships at $28 With Mesh Design

Great Wall has added the Phantom M5B to its lineup of budget PC cases, offering a practical build option for users who prioritize airflow and compact dimensions. The case ships with a three-sided mesh design that lets heat escape quickly while keeping internal RGB lighting visible to builders. This setup matters because it targets hobbyists who want to keep component temperatures low without spending a lot of money on chassis materials.

Mesh panels and handle define this budget chassis

The Phantom M5B supports Micro-ATX and ITX motherboards, making it suitable for small form factor builds that need standard mounting points. Great Wall includes a portable top handle on the chassis to help users move the system easily during assembly or transport. The case lists a maximum GPU length of 360mm and a CPU cooler height limit of 160mm to define clear hardware boundaries for builders.

Specifications

• Dimensions: 380x193x329mm
• Motherboard Compatibility: Micro-ATX, ITX

Cooling flexibility remains a key feature, as the chassis provides five 120mm fan mounting points across the top, bottom, and rear panels. Users can install a 240mm AIO liquid cooler on the top panel or stick with air cooling using the included fan slots. Storage options allow for two 3.5-inch hard drives plus one 2.5-inch drive, or just two 2.5-inch drives depending on the user's preference.

Front I/O ports are limited to a single USB-A 3.0 connector and a 3.5mm audio jack, which keeps the exterior clean but restricts connectivity for modern peripherals. Great Wall has listed the Phantom M5B at 189 CNY (around $28.13), positioning it as one of the most affordable mesh cases available. The product went on sale on JD.com in China starting September 8, 2024, giving local buyers immediate access to this budget chassis.
