“After examining the exterior, interior, cooling options, tool-less options, and other intricacies I concluded that I’m very satisfied with how the Phantom was designed. It’s obvious that NZXT gave PC builders every air cooling option they could stuff into this case, but they also went the extra mile and added options for watercooling enthusiasts to install their custom components too. Whether you like using air cooled or water cooled solutions, the Phantom case has got you covered.”Here are some more Cases & Cooling reviews from around the web:

NZXT’s new Phantom case just walked away with a Gold Award
NZXT has designed something a little more luxurious than their usual, the Phantom. Whereas cases like the Hush are priced well under $100 this case should retail just above but with some very good reasons. For instance the included air cooling consists of
an blue LED 200mm fan on the top as well as a rear mounted 120mm fan and there is room for another 120 or 140mm fan at the front, an additional 200mm on top and you can either add a second 120mm fan or swap out the existing one to replace it with a 200 or 230mm fan. To make things more interesting there are six integral fan controllers operated by sliders on the exterior of the case allowing you to switch your cooling on the fly. That isn’t all as you will see when you read Steve’s full review.
