The Phantom arrives packaged in a heavy duty corrugated cardboard box that is decorated with an image of the white model on the front and an extensive list of the product features and pictures covering the back side of the box. Looking at the information printed on the back will give users a good understanding of the feature set as well as the interior layout and design.
Once removed from the box we find custom fit Styrofoam pieces to fit the top and bottom of the case during shipping as well as an additional plastic bag over the case itself that should prevent any scratching during the shipping process.
As with all their cases NZXT tend to make sure you get plenty of mounting hardware which always comes in handy when it's time to do the system build. They have also added a detailed installation guide to assist with the assembly process. It is a very complete package.
Now that we have covered the packaging we are ready to move forward and concentrate on the exterior design of the Phantom.
This is without doubt NZXT’s best chassis on the market, its a very good case.
Fantastic chassis, I worry about the build quality long term however. They are known to fall apart in places.
very impressed with this chassis, saw a review on several other sites recently. Not sure I would buy it mind you, but its impressive for such a small company.
As a Lian Li and Silverstone fan I gotta say this doesn’t appeal to me on a design level at all but it seems popular with our audience.
It is a pretty cool case, I love the accenting, very dramatic.
Excellent review Steve, how is noise, seems to be quite a few fans in it.
I almost bought this last week, still undecided. its a fantastic looking case, just not sure its the best for the money, very expensive in UK, £130.
Like the curves, but its a bit expensive for what you get.
Shame about lack of noise testing in this one, but I know steve hasn’t access to the lab. Can you give us some real world feelings about noise Steve please?
Thats most impressive, It appeals to the gamer in me 🙂
Quite a nice design, bit complex for my own tastes though.
I was not able to get access to the required tools to accurately measure the fan noise level but I dont find the case loud by any means
Steve, good review, and its a nice enough chassis. looks well.
How many cases are NZXT selling right now ?
For those of you that don’t frequent the forums I was not able to get access to the required tools to accurately measure the fan noise level but I don’t find the case loud by any means
I see about 22 cases listed on their site
