The NZXT case is certainly a case which you either love or hate. It almost has a Star Wars theme going on with its colours and shapes but that is a topic for another day. We are reviewing the system today and not the case, but if you are interested in our review of this particular case, we have a review on the NZXT Phantom right here. Inside the system, there is a huge amount of space for all of your components to fit with ease. Overclockers UK have done a relatively good job at making the cables neat and tidy from the front of the system, but, there are a few things which could have been routed differently, such as the 8pin EPS cable. There is a cut out at the top of the case for the cable to be routed through. However, they have gone with the extension option and they have routed it behind the graphics cards and over the motherboard.



Due to this system not featuring a modular PSU (at least not in our sample), that means that all of the cables are hidden behind the motherboard tray which in itself is the entire point behind it but it does look very cluttered. Another point worth noting is that the side panel actually bulges a little due to the sheer amount of cabling on this power supply. It is a monster power supply but we think a modular one (as the specifications state) would be preferred to keep the clutter down.



With such high-end kit, you would expect to get a plethora of inputs and outputs at the back of the system, right? Well, you certainly will not be disappointed with this lot. Going from top to bottom, they are as follows:

1 x PS/2 keyboard/mouse port
1 x D-Sub port
1 x DVI-D port
1 x HDMI port
6 x USB 3.0/2.0 ports
2 x Thunderbolt ports
1 x RJ-45 port
1 x optical S/PDIF Out connector
5 x audio jacks
