The NZXT Phantom 530 ships in a large box with a clear image of the case on the front. The back of the box shows a list of key features and dimensions.
There is no doubt that the red chassis is both eye catching and attractive. Obviously there will be the enthusiast user who prefers plain black, or white, but we like the sexy red ‘Ferrari like' paintwork. It is a heavy chassis, weighing in at 10.5kg. It measures 235 mm x 572 mm x 543 mm.
The fan and radiator mounting positions can support 120mm, 140mm and 200 mm fans and radiators from 120mm to 360mm and 140mm to 280 mm.
Fan locations:
- Front 2x140mm/ 120mm or 1x200mm
(1 x 200mm included) - Rear 1x140mm (included) / 120mm
- Bottom 2x120mm
- Side 1x140mm
- Top 2x200mm/ 140mm or 3x120mm
- Interior 1x120mm/140mm
The acrylic side window panel ships with a clear plastic protector during shipping. Next to this is a 140mm fan position. The side panels are held in place with metal thumbscrews.
Along the top of the chassis at the front are two USB 3.0 capable ports, alongside an audio out and microphone connector. The entire top of the case is removable.
The front of the chassis has a large door which covers the three external drive bays and a reset button. The door is held in place by four powerful magnets. The external drive bay covers have a latch which can be opened with a single hand.
The rear of the case has a mounting position at the bottom for the power supply. There are watercooling holes with rubber grommets. Above is a single exhaust fan to help remove warm air from the top section of the motherboard.
Underneath the case, there is a fan filter and positions for two intake fans.
