Black One Looks Like an Alienware Behemoth at First Glance

7 PCI Expansion Slots
Only one 200mm fan included
Doesn't support USB 3.0Video

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
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...
I must say that the NZXT Phantom is superior in quality and offers many great features. 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...

I know aesthetically this case isn’t going to be for everyone. 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...
A solid performance from the Phantom and I wouldn't have expected anything less from the Phantom range, or NZXT for that matter. While sure its not as spectacular in terms of scale and features as the new Phantom 820, it does still reach a high standard t...
Abstract: NZXT has been a name that's popped up a lot lately at eTeknix, in terms of cases and other product ranges. When it comes to cases, we have seen some of their more elegant designs pass through our offices, whereas today sees us look at bit more at an enthu...

Starting with build quality and design the NZXT Phantom immediately impresses. The white finish is immaculate and looks fantastic when combined with the black highlights and unique angled design. Front and top panel removal is easy, as is the installa...
Beautiful aesthetics, Excellent options for expansion, Very functional - fan controller - tool-less, Dual radiator support, Good cooling, Amazing value
Lack of USB3.0 support
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...
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 ...
