Manufacturer Response:

Dear Valued Customer,

Thank you for choosing NZXT! Having a discolored panel especially on a white case truly will be an eyesore for us and this is unacceptable, it is ugly and we completely agree with you. Please visit our support page at www.nzxt.com/support or better yet contact us directly at 1-800-228-9395. We would like to hear back from you so we can discuss how we can remedy this issue for you.

Pros: Very big, Great features, i like the idea of the window on the side, and makes my build very easy.I recommend this case to anybody.....especially first time builders. Thank you NZXT!!!

Cons: The power button, reset button, and LED on/off button are kind of hard to push and when you do push them its kinda loud....,also the front and top of the case are extremely hard to get off.......its really not a reason to take away an egg though.....

Pros: Great case with lots of space and more than enough fans! Cable management is very easy too thanks to all the space behind the motherboard tray and the right ride panel. I really love the inside mount for a 120/140mm fan. The case does not make as much noise as you might think too, running on the highest setting.

Cons: None so far...

Other Thoughts: Since I had a radiator for my CPU to mount on the back, I moved that 140mm to the inside mount and got another NZXT 200mm fan for the top. Runs very cool.

Pros: Ive herd good Things!!!! And about the fan control...you must be doing something wrong......

Cons: I hope none!!

Pros: I had it delivered march 23rd. I been tested all day none of the fans have power up. The light dots is on but no power on fans. Controler is bad not fuctional.

Cons: Good case airflow but the controler is bad

Pros: Cable management is great with 30mm between the mobo tray and the side panel. Well placed standoffs, so no problems screwing the mobo in. Very easy to remove the HDD bays. Looks great.

Cons: none

Other Thoughts: Don't think, just buy.

Pros: This is hands down the best case I have ever owned. It is big, I know the dimensions are there but seriously this thing is huge. I upgraded from the NZXT Tempest EVO to this one because I was outgrowing it. This was also a very clean install. There is SO much space for routing cables and the holes are designed in such a way to minimize the appearance of your wires. The HUGE plus for me is the dual SSD mounts behind the motherboard tray so it does not have to take up your precious hard drive slots. The filters are easy to remove for cleaning, 200mm fans much quieter than the 140 I was used to. Built in fan controller works great for silent operation. The light for the back of the case is bright and works great and is very handy.

Cons: The case does come with most fans but only comes with one 200mm exhaust fan on the top so I did buy a second one. Not worth knocking an egg for it.

Other Thoughts: This case is amazing. Very roomy with tons of room for expansion. I had my eyes on the Phantom series since they debuted but I am glad I held out for this revision. It has the design I liked from the Phantom series with the features borrowed from the Switch 810 and it is perfect.

Pros: Size - It is really big. Its size is deceiving when looking at it from the front. Once you get the side panel open you realize how much room you really have. I purchased it because it was big so I would be able to use it for a custom water loop later down the road.

Airflow - Great airflow throughout the case. The 3 200mm fans that come with it push a lot of air. There is also the option to install a 4th 200mm, along with a few more 120s/140s. Every single HDD case is removable which opens up a lot of space for air to move. On one of the HDD cages there is the option to install a fan on a pivot point which is a really cool feature. I currently have it removed because I don't need it, but will certainly take advantage of it in the future.

Build Quality - Overall, not bad. The plastic parts seem solid enough and the metal is of decent quality. The paint is even, no chipping or bubbles. I do worry about the back panel strength if it comes into contact with, well anything. This isnt a case to be moving around.

Features - This case is feature rich and I love it for it. The built in fan controller is easy to use and has room for all your fan needs. The air filters are easy to clean and remove and are everywhere that they are needed. The front cover closes and stays shut, even while transporting the case and gives it a clean finish. Like I stated earlier, the pivotal fan mount really looks awesome. If pointed upwards you could push more air onto your GPU/CPU for some more airflow if needed. The design of the HDD cages is okay. They are attached by thumb screws and use a tool less design. My favorite feature though are the 2 back mounted area for SSDs. This kind of saved me from having to use double sided sticky tape to mount them. It also frees up space in the HDD cage so you can remove them to get more airflow.

Cons: Packaging is not great. Only 3 settings on the fan controller, though its not that big of a con.

Honestly there are not very many cons. There may be things that people dislike about the case but thats all personal opinion. There is nothing "broken" with the design.

Other Thoughts: I would buy it again. I will update later as I have it longer.
