NZXT are using the plain white version of the case for the box, although we received a very early review sample and this might change. The case is protected inside a plastic sleeve with thick side foam panels.
The bundle contains a user manual and all the necessary screws for the system build phase. They also include a handful of cable ties to help maintain the routing.
The NZXT Phantom 410 is a very attractive case, but the appearance is really enhanced with the Gunmetal grey colour scheme. Depending on the lighting it can almost appear to change intensity.
The Phantom 410 looks very like the Phantom case, although it is smaller. The top of case is very rounded with two black lines running down the front of the chassis. At the bottom is a white fan, hidden behind a grill. Both front and top panels can be removed toollessly, but more on this shortly.
The top door swings open to the left, and it is held in place with a plastic clip. There are three drive bays behind this door. The three drive bays are also gunmetal in colour, to match the rest of the chassis.
Underneath are two holes for an additional fan, and to supply airflow to the bottom mounted power supply. There are six rubber feet to ensure stability on a variety of surfaces.
The left hand door offers a windowed panel, this is a standard option, not an extra. A 120mm or 140mm fan can be mounted underneath the window. The other side of the case features a plain door.
Along the top of the case are a power and reset button. On the other side are two USB 2.0 connectors, two USB 3.0 connectors and a pair of audio plugs. They also include a small slider based fan controller at the top, which is useful.
The rear of the chassis has a hole at the bottom for a power supply. Above this are seven expansions slots and two rubber mounted holes for watercooling hoses. Above this is a 120mm NZXT branded white fan.
I think that colour is really beautiful, but the case looks too small for what I would need. they planning on doing this colour with the bigger case in their range?
yeah I like that colour scheme a lot. very sexy indeed.
I like it, but im concerned with their build quality. I saw a NZXT case at a recent event in london and it didnt seem up to the standards I would expect from a company like this.
Anybody else notice that they made this newly recolored version much crappier than before? Before it came with a 5 fan controller and the side panel had 2 120mm and a 200mm fan optional as opposed too 1 140mm and a side window… and the other crap they made worse in this specially colored version O.o
@spenguin… u talkin about the big brother
but i would also like to know.. did they really change nothing but the color??? still no dustfilters or anything?? But on the pics it seems like there is no Blue led-fan anymore?
Any other changes but the color for this rerelease?
