NZXT Phantom video review

NZXT Phantom video review

Dear Icrontic:

Your Editor-in-Chief is kind of an idiot sometimes. So much so that he assigned the same review to two separate staffers. Well, no harm, no foul. Here’s an unprecedented second review of the NZXT Phantom full-tower case. Enjoy.

    I love the case, personally.

    I like both of them, but I also consider the Beta EVO and Phantom to be in two different classes since they're mid and full tower cases.

    Bandrik Very nice video review, Magic. You covered everything I would have wanted to see, and explained it in a way that even a PC newbie should understand. High five!

    Bandrik So I'm poised to buy one of these cases off of Newegg today. I'm looking at the black with orange trim version. Came back to watch this video review again to refresh my memory. Still looks great!

    Plus, the black with orange trim matches my black fedora. Schwing!

    MAGIC Its a great case for under 100 bucks which you can find it for at times, but when you are looking to spend 125-150 bucks...

    Better stock cooling, best tooless expansion slot design Ive used, all aluminum, and prettier IMO.

    I've heard good things about LianLi in the past. That particular LianLi case doesn't quite tickle my fancy, but I'll keep their other cases in mind for future builds.

    What I liked about the Phantom (that the LianLi may also have, didn't look closely) was plenty of cable management options, especially behind the motherboard. In my current case (Sentey Burton), there's not enough space back there to route all my cables. The Phantom will fix that, look better (than the Burton), etc. Plus the fan control is a great perk.

    MAGIC For sure, looks are personal opinion. Some folks like their computer to look fast too. Based on what you want it to do functionally, the Phantom will take care of it.

Howdy, Stranger!
