    Brian needs your help :]

    Now..

    Is their ANY CLRs here who OWN the NZXT Phantom Case?
    Im not a fan of watercooling so im going all out AIR COOLING.
    If you do:

    How do you like it?

    How cool is it?

    Is there plenty of space from future bigger cards?

    I want personal reviews and opinions.
    I've seen/read alot of good reviews but i'd like to know yours.

    I have a Raidmax Blackstorm.. but my 6950 barely fits.. i had to take out the HDD bay to make it fix and it get warm...need more space..

    I have no experience with a NZXT but in case you can get a HAF X for a cheaper price (retail $190) you should be set for life. Bestest case ever, I even added a 140MM fan behind the 5.25" slots. It fit so well you don't even need to screw it on. And everything has a filter on it.





    Just a couple photos I took recently to show you how much space there is inside those things. I mean those are the longest video cards out there and you can still fit your entire face in there. I tried.

      I have the NZXT Phantom Black and love it. Well designed and plenty of cooling options. It does not come with all of the fans. You have to order them separately. Make sure with the large side fan that you order the NZXT one. It is the only one that will fit. Plenty of room to run your wiring behind the MOB. I am using the H50 CPU Cooler with mine and it fit without any modifications. The case is very quiet despite all of the fans. This is mostly because the fans are all at least 120 mm.
      FRONT, 1 X 140mm
      REAR, 1 X 120mm (included)
      SIDE, 2 x 120mm, 1 x 200/230 (2 x 120mm included)
      TOP, 2 X 200mm (1 x LED 200mm included)
      I have all of the fans and I run very cool. There is more than enough room for large video cards.
      I like this one so much that I bought two. The second one was for my son.

          I have heard people claiming about how slow their customer service is. I had a fan switch go bad and fired off an email asking for a new one and I would install it my self. They replied promptly and I had the part in a few days.
