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
NZXT has placed a new standard on cases that fall into the mid-range price market. Over the last month or so we have seen the Phantom priced anywhere from $99 to $139. At the price it is hard for other cases to match what the Phantom offers. It all st...
Abstract: 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 ...

I have to admit I took a lot longer getting this review out than I normally do, I didn’t know what to think of the Phantom. 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...

I honestly cannot think of anything bad to say about the NZXT Phantom. 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...

The case's appearance and quality really shined through. One of our favorite features on the case was its built in fan controller. It's something most people end up buying anyway for their own case. It is also an extremely quiet case, as one would exp...

Only one 200mm fan included, Doesn't support USB 3.0Video:
Almost everything about this case seems to have considerable thought put into it. From the rubber grommets on the motherboard tray, to the noise dampening standoffs of the PSU we were impressed. NZXT also included 5 color-matched extension cables for ...
I took a good long look at the NZXT Phantom Case and it's not very often that a case comes along that has all the right things, and everyone's head seems to turn towards it in unison. The NZXT Phantom is a one of a kind case that deserves a spot in t...
NZXT has really hit the mark with the Phantom. There has been a lot of hype surrounding NZXT and this new release, and that hype is not in vain. The Phantom is indeed something to be excited for, as it feels the needs for virtually any enthusiast; the...
Creative and well-engineered are just a couple words used to describe my first impressions when laying eyes upon the Phantom. When I first inspected this latest addition to the Crafted Series more thoroughly, I found myself considering all of the sce...

After using the NZXT Phantom full tower case for the last few weeks I have to say that I am pretty impressed with the quality and the look of it. The way NZXT has made this to be both a user friendly case and appeal to the hardcore enthusiast is a plu...
