Early Phanteks EXO 626 Open-Air Concept Chassis Shows Up at CES 2026
Phanteks has unveiled its next-generation EXO 626 open-air concept PC case at CES 2026. Although the company did not reveal the official product in person, we managed to get a glimpse of the CyberPowerPC-tuned chassis. At the CyberPowerPC booth, we found a customized EXO 626s case in black, highlighting CyberPowerPC's design for a high-end open-air PC. This design centers around an exoskeleton concept, where the PC itself becomes part of the aesthetic, maintaining a minimal and clean look without unnecessary embellishments. Inside, the GPU, power supply, and AIO cooler each have their own dedicated space, with the airflow design favoring passive cooling to ensure quiet operation without relying on numerous fans running at full speed.
The mesh panels allow air to flow naturally while keeping the overall appearance streamlined. The case accommodates larger GPUs and AIO setups easily, enabling the creation of a powerful yet cohesive build. There are no extra styling elements or gimmicks, just a straightforward approach to showcasing the hardware and managing temperatures. Details on pricing, availability, and the final design are not yet available. Since Phanteks customized this case for CyberPowerPC, the official retail version will differ.
