Even for this class of case
The HDD drive trays are excessively flimsy
Missing rubber grommets
Small window
140mm exceeds 30dB near full load
Needs Velcro straps instead of zip ties
Pricey - people may be inclined to spend another 50 USD to go all out
Flimsy hard drive trays
No more thumb screws on the motherboard expansion bays
Not much smaller than the Phantom 820
30W fan controller for eight fans is not enough
No HPTX support
Flimsy drive sleds
Could use a top mounted carrying handle
Takes up a lot of room on your desk
Must remove front panel to clean its dust filter
Which means removing any 5.25" devices first.
Still using the cheap hard drive cages
Top routing holes are small for the CPU power cable
Abstract: NZXT’s Phantom series is both popular and polarizing but there’s no denying these cases are also well designed. The latest iteration, the Phantom 630, incorporates the DNA of past designs but does so at a lower price point, making it infinitely more a...
Okay, I think I will start by covering the "wow factor". In the Phantom 630, there are quite a few things that fit this category. Outside, you have the aesthetics that most people are used to, but with it being ever so slightly refined, and to me, the...
Very good cable management system, Plenty of clearance for large hardware, Good cooling performance, Lots of watercooling options, Integrated fan controller, Excellent build quality,
With strong cooling performance, excellent cable management, and a very flexible internal layout, NZXT’s Phantom 630 is a worthy addition to the well-respected Phantom series....

Abstract: It hasn't been too long since NZXT released its last case in the Phantom range, the Phantom 820, but it's back now with the slightly smaller and cheaper Phantom 630. From the outside not much has changed from the standard triangular wedge-based design of ...
Great cooling performance, Integrated fan controller, Dedicated rear I/O panel light, Spacious interior, Removable harddisk cages, Two dedicated SSD mounts
Fragile drive trays, Upandover cable routing is tight, Phantom 820 is available for £30 more
The real question, we suppose, is which is the better chassis: the new Phantom 630 or last month's Phantom 820? Unfortunately, after plenty of analysis and benchmarks, we're still struggling to settle on a definitive answer. On the one hand, the Phantom ...
NZXT have been on something of a winning streak with their chassis design for a while now and while not everyone loves their style choices, this is something that can be said about any chassis on the market. However its hard to deny that NZXT have struck...
The Phantom 630 comes off favourably compared to its larger predecessor, mostly thanks to it costing at least £40 less at current prices. Air cooling performance is the same as before, if not slightly better (although we'll say again that GPU temperatu...
