The outside of the Xigmatek fans is fairly easy to bend so all I did was take out the stock fan, which is now on the side panel, put the new fan where it goes and carefully push to where the ring around the fan bent like an oval and then it popped right in! No need for screws or anything since there is a lip on each side of the case holding them up.
Made me a lot happier with my purchases. Pros: BIG! Lots of room for expansion. Easy to work with. Runs cool and quiet LOTS of extra hardware and some stuff I don't even know what to do with!
Currently W PSU Everything fits with room to spare! Upgraded from a Cooler Master Elite mid-tower so I'm quite impressed with the overall construction, looks, and interior space. Cons: Only thing I can see is the fan control, which I never used before so I went online and found a you-tube tutorial on hooking it up Overall Review: Reading some other reviews, I noticed a lot of people said that this case had poor design because the side mm fans interfered with the hard drive cables I turned my drives around so they hook from the opposite side and I have no problems with the fans since the cables are now hidden behind.
Just a thought Big, and I do mean big. Great airflow, plenty of fan options. Cons: Only 2 problems with this case and they are very minor 1. The top fan should be LED, I think it lit up the first time I turned everything on, but now there is no light.
The "manual" it comes with could be better. This was my first build and had a bunch of cords I didn't know what to do with turned out they were for extra fans. Pros: Controls for everything is on the top, which works out nicely since my computer setup sits right below me. Very nice cooling, it has a total of 4 fans that come with the case, you can buy additional 3 more fans for the side top and front.
It has a nice emphasis on cooling harddrives and improving airflow around the processor heatsink with its massive top fans. Sleek and stylish, plenty of room and easy to use HD slot holders and cd rom etc locking. Cons: The finish is prone to fingerprints and smudges. Only con i can think of. The set screws for the PCI slots were tough to initially unscrew but are fine now. Overall Review: I personally bought this case for a special Hatsune theme computer case.
I also do heavy overclocking so the airflow is nice and option of upgrading to water cooling is there for the future. Overall Review: Where to begin? I've transitioned builds about 3 times in this, and it's ready for it's fourth as I move onto a different case for my gaming rig, putting this as a more media oriented use.
This case has followed me for dozens of LAN parties, get togethers with friends, and a good amount more. What's even more so, I purchased one for my fiance so that we would match, and the situation is the same there as well. It has stayed amazingly clean with only 2 deep scrubs needed over the last 4 years, and dust is rather easier to clean in this than many others, at least from my experience.
This case is big, and it can be a tad bit overwhelming, so if you really need the size, this is amazing. As many have previously said, the back area for cabling is ridiculously shallow, leaving no room for errors on the side of cable management. The HDD and SSD mounting area suffer from this drastically, as daisy chaining off a single power line causes the loop to push harshly against the panel; you need some muscle to make it fit in right if the drives are stacked rather than displaced.
Which you don't get an option of displacing a bit if you have more than enough dives. Another limit I had was a slight difficulty of getting SATA and power cables to my optical drives, as there isn't a great, non-visible way to get into that area. Finally, Airflow Between the 3. It's not terrible, but it certainly has plenty of superiors to it on that front.
Even if you take the internal side fans off, the mesh panel also restricts the proper flow of pressure. Which also as of late, I've been more desiring of a side window than not. Nothing I listed of a con or a negative I felt deserved to remove a star.
After 4 years and this case still looks, and runs fantastic, I can't argue against that quality for longevity. Sold by: Newegg Shipped by Newegg. This item is currently out of stock and it may or may not be restocked. Out of Stock. Beautiful aesthetics, Excellent options for expansion, Very functional - fan controller - tool-less, Dual radiator support, Good cooling, Amazing value Lack of USB3.
Readers, enthusiasts and consumers were right to get excited about NZXT's new offering in the Phantom. I've seen style over substance quite a number of times but the Phantom doesn't only look fantastic but it feels, operates and handles in this way al This case is targeting the enthusiast market and offers many exciting features.
The company spent countless hours working with members of the Case modding comm An excellent all round design from NZXT Established in , NZXT is a manufacturer that many computer enthusiasts have become fans of. Having manufactured some very popular computer products in the case and cooling category, NZXT is even beginning to dive into high end power supply units Great Looks, Huge amounts of room, Virtually toolless, Accommodations for external water cooling loops, Room for a dual radiator inside the case Finish fingerprints easily, Temperatures not the greatest, adding fans would most likely fix this, Cutout for heatsink access hole may not work on all motherboards The amount of space on the interior is astronomical and will surely be a great choice for many computer users today, as well as for long periods of time in the fut The Phantom comes with Lately NZXT has been sending me a few budget friendly cases as well as a LAN case or two and is always trying to go with a theme that sets their cases apart from the masses.
I for one like more simple looking cases packed full of features. I have to say that the Phantom first struck me as an odd duck, but the more I got to mess with it and reviewing these im November is fast approaching. And when I think about November, I tend to associate Christmas holidays that follow right around the corner.
Many stores start their holiday shopping season early, and this year will be no different -- with many of them li Tall, black and asymmetrical. Part of the brand's Crafted series of enthusiast-class casings, the Phantom first made its mark at this year's Computex and according to NZ Excellent cooling potential, Spacious interior Plastic, glossy exterior can be a fingerprint magnet From what we have seen of the NZXT Phantom, its designers have certainly come up some interesting and thoughtful ideas.
The angular, glossy look is striking at first but it's not that unique. Instead, it's the small details that impressed us. Like having Without doubt many of you have already noticed that i am a bit slow with reviews lately and that is mainly because i have some decisions to make and since doing so requires quite a bit of time to accomplish there's not that much time left to do Custom case designs have come a long way in recent years and have slowly migrated from mediocre and low cost designs to well planned works of art.
Sadly many of the designs are still dictated by cost where they try to pack the most stuff into a low co First impressions of any chassis tend to stick with you despite what you discover after opening the box. When we first saw this case we were very impressed with the artful styling and creative use of angles.
It wasn't until we saw the case first han Computer cases are strange animals. The white finish with its black accents really makes this case stand out from the crowd and the roomy interior was a joy to work in thanks to the excellent cable management. Could use a large side panel fan, No USB 3. The case is ve As with all NZXT products, they strive to set themselves apart from the rest by offering unique and original designs.
The Phantom delivers The NZXT Phantom has numerous great features to it, which will make this case stand out from the majority of the other cases on the market.
The wire management was very well thought out and performed great in our tests keeping the case looking clean a Stunning design; plenty of room for fans; great value. Needs a front fan; thinks it's a fulltower. Each one has been totally different in design, indicating that the NZXT designers are always looking for a new way to please the consumers. Thinking ab NZXT has placed a new standard on cases that fall into the mid-range price market.
At the price it is hard for other cases to match what the Phantom offers. It all st NZXT has been around for years, building a reputation with their controversial chassis designs. It all really started with the Guardian chassis years ago and ever since they have put numerous chassis designs out on the market.
One of the very latest CaseKing is one of the few companies out there, which will not just sell anything.
They only offer hardware that performs well and is of high quality. The shop offers quite a few exclusive parts and devices from all around the world and it is also the Sweet looking design, Spacious interior, Includes four fans, Easy installation of drives, Plenty of cable management possibilities, LEDs can be turned off, Fan controller for every fan within the case, Dust filter on intake fans, Available in three colors LEDs embedded in fan, The tool-less 5.
After a long stretch of refreshes and no really new products from NZXT, this one really takes the cake and instantly pushes the company back into the spot light. A unique and well t When it comes to cases NZXT has established itself as a force to be reckoned with. Going up against the big boys like Antec, Thermaltake, and Cooler Master can be a daunting task, but NZXT has not only accepted the challenge but impressed us al I built 2 different machines into it and I used if for a couple weeks with each.
At first I was a little taken aback by its desi One of the most overlooked components of any computer is the case itself. Many people are unaware of the importance of having a good computer case: easier hardware changes with a tool-less design, greater airflow with more powerful fans, and significa Expansion slots are not toolless The case's appearance and quality really shined through.
One of our favorite features on the case was its built in fan controller. But compared to most other cases that include an unsorted plastic bag, we can't complain. The white case contains a familiar assortment of screws, spacers, and cable ties. The manual is small, but it is well-organized and definitely a nice addition.
The only thing missing is a Piezo speaker. It's becoming less common for case vendors to include a speaker, though, and we're frankly not surprised since most enthusiast-oriented motherboards include diagnostic LEDs or their own speakers built-in.
Topics Cases. See all comments I like most of the cases out there, but the only major drawback is it's side look, some really like a pure glass window and some other just don't.
It can not be directly compared because each hardware component may deliver different results in different cases. This can't be an objective comparison. Funny, I figured the people who write reviews for pc cases would know a little more about what is going on in the pc case world? The was the first to pioneer the back panel led, not the like the author notes.
