NZXT Phantom Review

Installation

When it comes to installing components within the NZXT Phantom, it will become instinctively clear that this is where this case excels. Masses of space and slots to tuck away the cables allows the entire process to progress without any issues. Within half an hour I had the system up and running (cables all neat and tidy too). It takes little effort to give the inside of the Phantom the minimalist look.


Installation complete - very spacious


Bundled with the Phantom are an assortment of screws, brackets for water-cooling and instructions sheet. The instructions sheet is very informative and what I like especially is the listing of each screw and its application. There are a wide seelction of screws inside the bag so its useful to know what screw goes where without having to rely upon 'trial and error'


Accessories kit included with the Phantom



Instructions sheet is very helpful


As I mentioned everything slots into the Phantom with ease, everything fits tightly and is snug. Mounting devices like 3.5" drives as below is very easy. Screws inside the frame slot directly into the drive and the frame can then be slid into the cage.


Mounting devices is very easy


Installed within the Phantom I used the Thermalright Venomous X Black for the CPU Cooler. This cooler stands tall at 160mm in height - one of the tallest coolers on the market. The Phantom is able to accommodates it though, with 2cm to spare. The Phantom will allow up to 180mm tall coolers.


Mounting devices is very easy


Around the back is up to 1.7cm between the motherboard tray and the door. Plenty of space to route cables around the back including the clumpy 24-pin power cable for the motherboard.


Mounting devices is very easy
