The editors didn't like
I'd Like to see a Clear Side Panel
Black One Looks Like an Alienware Behemoth at First Glance
Amount Of Plastic Used
7 PCI Expansion Slots
Only one 200mm fan included
Doesn't support USB 3.0Video
Could use a large side panel fan
No USB 3.0
Any further questions about this case can be asked HERE.
No USB 3.0 connections
No tool-less SSD trays
Front intake fan and 200mm side-panel fan not included. Two 120mm side-panel fans each require cabling. Glossy front and top panels may seem potentially cheap.
Doesn’t come with additional fans to utilize fan controller
Tight on back of motherboard for routing cables
No 3.5″ bays
Rubber protectors just pop out easily
Can be annoying
Fans get noisy
Heavy
Needs a front fan
Thinks it's a fulltower.
Opening for 12v motherboard connection is a bit tight
Power supply standoffs may contact fan guards and cause an alignment issue
Rubber guard surrounding motherboard cable passthroughs falls off easily
Expansion slots are not toolless
LEDs embedded in fan
The tool-less 5.25 inch system still not as good as screws

Abstract: Unfortunately many of these “pre-modded” cases were either crap, cheaply made, or the design didn't market well. NZXT is one of the few players in the business that makes great PC cases that many modders are proud to have.The Phantom case is one of their ...

I had the chance to check out the original Phantom over a year ago at a friend’s house and i have to say that i was quite impressed with its design and spacious interior although i thought that NZXT used much plastic which granted looked good b...
and FVAs a whole the Phantom is a beautiful case with a long list of features. It’s obvious that most of the details have been selected by someone who actually uses a case, not just an engineer in an office. Features like the fan controller add value ...
Abstract: It’s no secret that most users prefer to assemble their computers in midi-tower system cases which are the most versatile and easy to deal with. We tested one such product from the American NZXT before but that was the rather unassuming Beta EVO. This ...

Abstract: While the NZXT Phantom case has been available for almost a year now, it's still a formidable foe in the PC enthusiast realm. For starters, no one can argue that its full-size design offers up plenty of options for modders. Add to that a killer style and ...

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...

The NZXT Phantom sells for $139.99, but can often be found on sale for much less. (Editor note: There’s a promo code on Newegg right now for $20 off: NZXTAP20) The price is average among full tower cases, but given the build quality and thought given...

The more I played with the NZXT Phantom, the more I liked it. 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. The case is ve...
