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
The look of the NZXT Phantom is impressive with a fully black finish inside and out, a sophistication with its pristine contours, this case is a beauty. The hole behind the CPU enables the installing of high performance CPU coolers with a height up to...
We'd like to thank NZXT for providing a pre-release review sample of the Phantom full tower case for our review today. NZXT has focused their entire business strategy on building products specifically geared toward the wants and desires of gamers. I think...
This case is an awesome addition to NZXT’s Impressive Crafted Series. This is by no means the only tool-less case on the market, however a number of the innovations implemented with this case set it far above most of the ones I have encountered. It is...
Abstract: When NZXT's new Phantom case ($139.99 list) arrived in Ziff Davis Labs recently, someone observed that it looked like something an Imperial Stormtrooper would own. And, well, we could see his point. The version of the Phantom that NZXT had sent us was ...

The NZXT Phantom is one of the nicest cases I’ve had the chance to review in a long time honestly. Aesthetically it’s certainly unique, it has a look to it like none other really, and I truly like it. Inside you’ll find a lot of room for a lot of st...
PINK (for some it’s a PRO), 5channel fan controller built in, Fan LED control – turn off the lights!, Magnetic door on the front panel to hide those ugly optical drives...
Motherboard power connector doesn’t fit in the cutout in the motherboard tray, Cabling in general a little of a pain, small grommets and low clearances, Paint isn’t a powder coat – I’ve already nicked a few spots around screw holes...
Putting all the pink jokes aside this case was honestly too much fun to review. Hardware wasn’t too difficult to get in the case compared to most. Like I had mentioned before the only real issue I had was with the motherboard power connector not fitti...
