The Phanteks NV5 is the objective winner of this comparison, securing more category victories across the evaluated specifications. Its most significant advantage over the Lian Li Lancool 207 is its capacity for 2.5" bays, which offers a 100% improvement in storage mounting options for smaller drives. While both cases share equal standing in two of the measured fields, the Phanteks NV5 demonstrates a clearer lead in overall hardware support based on the provided data.

Users who prioritize high-density storage for 2.5" drives should select the Phanteks NV5 to take advantage of its superior bay capacity. Conversely, the Lian Li Lancool 207 is the better choice for builders who require more space for 3.5" drives, as it provides a 100% advantage in that specific configuration. Choosing between these two cases depends entirely on whether your build configuration relies more heavily on larger mechanical storage or compact solid-state drives.
