Usually on this page there is an image of the case standing tall with a view of front and side lighting but the Phantom only has lighting on the top section of the case. The top mounted 200mm fan has a exudes a pleasant blue glow, it isn't too overpowering but if you do want to turn it off there is a button on the rear of the Phantom that allows you to control this.


Mounting devices is very easy

The fan control panel on the side of the Phantom is very useful not only its positioning (as its easy to get to) but it also highlights fans that are either not connected or not online. Here you can see in the image one of the fans is not plugged in. This is a very useful feature. This fan controller indecently can support 5 x 20W fans.

As an additional - I thought it would be interesting for readers to see the distance between the CPU cooler and the side door when its fastened in place. To take this shot I opened up the front door, took out the 5.25" bay covers and took a photograph. Here you can see the top is quite close, to have a 200/230mm fan on teh inside of that side panel would require you to have a low-profile cooler installed. Anything over 150mm is going to obstruct.

Noise: This is something that readers have often commented on when reading our reviews. Especially when a case has the option of managing fans between low and high speeds. I can report that noise on the lowest section is incredibly quiet. In fact, I took the side panel off to double check they were connected properly. With the fans all on high speed it is noticeable but comparing to the likes of the Antec Twelve Hundred (which stands out in my mine as noisy when all fans are on high) this case isn't disruptive by any means. The fact you can manage the speed of each individual fan gives you greater control over noise anyway.
