NZXT Phantom 410 Series CA-PH410-W1 White Steel / Plastic ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: Distinctive plastic case styling. Gunmetal for this review. Wish they all came in this color. Solid and functional steel chassis. Painted gunmetal on the interior. 1" / 2.55mm of cable management space underneath the motherboard. 3 pre-installed fans, which offer moderately good stock airflow. (Please see Other Thoughts below.) Side panels are very durable and easy to remove with thumbscrew and slide design. Top half side panel window was well protected and not scratched. Removable HDD cage for increased airflow/longer graphics cards. The HDD bays are easily accessible from the cable management side of the case. 2 USB 3.0 and 2 USB 2.0 on top along with headphone and 3-way fan controller. Stock Fans are quite quiet (under 28 db). The case comes with numerous parts, screws, zip ties, mounting points, etc. Excellent value.

Cons: Major: Front double mesh configuration really restricts airflow. A removable and cleanable filter would be a far better solution than the weird plastic mesh that is oddly not replaceable and hence not easily cleaned. Minor: Wish the bottom HDD module had space for 3 instead of just 2 racks. The rubber grommets for cable management are still inexplicably delicate and easily separated from the chassis. Care must be taken when threading cables through them. The front panel door panel takes a lot of zen to open and the latch doesn't always keep door shut unless you really press hard. It's a little cheesy.

Overall Review: The first thing I did was snip out the rear 120mm exhaust mesh and replace it with an aftermarket fan grill. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811998059 Bought 2 140mm fans for the top exhaust. Took the original 140 from the top and put it in front. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835146002 Took the leftover 120mm fan and put it on the bottom. Cooler and breezier now. Over the last two years I've built 5 systems that spec'd NZXT cases. Only problem was a missing bag of fan screws on one and a defective connector on another. Both were resolved without hassle, free of charge and delivered within 5 business days. so I've had nothing but good experiences with NZXT and can trust them to go the extra mile for me and my customers complete satisfaction. If you have a damaged or missing part (**** happens) then simply contact them via their website, use the online chat feature (not email) and they'll take good care of you.

Pros: Looks great. Can fit any size card(with easy removal of middle drive bays). Ability to route cables through the back. Multiple cable tie down points. Fits my Hyper 212 Evo.

Cons: A bit large and cumbersome if you will be moving it around often. Didn't come with a spaceship to match the case.

Pros: Bought it for a build I was making for a friend and really just had fun working with this case. I love the fan controller even if just because it allows you to plug in so many bleeping fans! Cable management space is great, please use it. Comes with good fans. Nice airflow, even on low. Looks cool. Impressed a chick that came over.

Cons: Why is there only 1 LED fan? This is a fashionable case, there should be more LED's! Heheh.. It bothered me a bit that one of wires extending from the fan controller didn't have part of 2 soldered wires covered up. I had some electrical tape, being a nerd and all, so I fixed it The red of the plastic is a different red than the steel.

Overall Review: Rubber grommets don't like staying in... I don't really understand why they're not just glued in at the factory.

Pros: ~Unique and attractive chassis design ~One inch of cable management space ~3 pre-installed fans, which offer surprisingly good airflow ~Fully compatible with the Corsair H110i ~3 speed fan controller (isn't not cheap, as mentioned in other reviews) ~Side panels are very durable and easy to remove ~Fully painted black on the interior ~Generous side panel window ~Removable HDD cage for increased airflow/longer graphics cards ~The HDD bays are accessible from the cable management side of the case (more of a personal preference) ~Plastic bezel is not flimsy, as others have mentioned ~2 x USB 3.0 (always nice to have) ~LED fans are awesome ~Fans are quiet

Cons: ~Only 3 5.25" drive bays, can be a problem for someone wanting to install a media card reader or custom fan controller ~The rubber gromets for water cooling/ cable management are somewhat flimsy, so when routing cables, be sure not to jerk them through the holes quickly ~No external 3.5" bay ~Reset button is somewhat easy to accidentally push (I just disconnected mine as I never use it anyway)

Overall Review: Overall, this is an amazing case, and I highly recommend it to any and all people considering it. Just a side note though, Newegg's prices aren't very competitive for this case. My set up: This case i7 3770 16GB RAM ASRock B75M-DGS R2.0 AMD Radeon HD 7770 400 W PSU 2 TB Seagate Barracuda HDD DVD Writer/Reader

Pros: This is by far, the NICEST mid tower case i have EVER seen. I'm not kidding. The cable management is very very nice. The outside of the case is a glossy smooth white paint. The top and front of the case are made of plastic that is painted white. The fans are somewhat low rpm, making it silent on stock. Anyone building their own pc is obviously going to upgrade the fans anyway.

Cons: The toolless drive bays and hdd trays are GARBAGE. They are seriously junk, idk why case designers make these things. Fortunately though, the case comes with all of the necessary screws needed to mount the hdds and dvd drives into the bays, you just have to read the manual! My box came absolutely destroyed, and alot of the thumb screws were loose in the case bouncing around. A very small piece of my case door came scratched. I got it for 89.99 free shipping so oh well, i just put a little dab of white paint over the scratch and you can't even tell the difference.

Pros: After unboxing you see that it's pretty daM (newegg does not allow 'curse words') big, just a little shorter and thinner than the full tower. Obviously the design is sexy. The airflow somehow is sexier. Like Marilyn Monroe outside that storefront in NY. Serious airflow. If you put a NZXT sleeve of LED's through the case, make sure you get one right on the bottom-front fan grate.

Cons: SO BIGGGGG. It's fine now, but when I go to school.. We might have a small problem. thumb screws are real hard to take out by hand/impossible without hurting your fingers pretty bad. Just get a screwdriver.

Overall Review: Gunmetal looked like a good color too.

Pros: Not everybody likes the aesthetic, but that definitely falls under the pros for me. Plenty of cable management space, aboslutely luxurious for a mid tower case. Great airflow, and the fan controller works well to provide you with your chosen balance between noise and cooling.

Cons: front panel is difficult to open, though I guess you wouldn't need to open it very often anyway. Nobody needs their cd drive these days, my case doesn't actually have one installed. The drive bays are definitely flimsy. If it really bothers you, just screw them in, though. Shouldnt ever be an issue unless your case does a barrel roll

Overall Review: It's not much cheaper than a regular phantom case. I've had experience with the Phanom 420 and if you're looking for even more real estate then absolutely look at that case.

Pros: Great looking, lots of room for cable management,

Cons: Over time the power switch can get jammed in and can be some difficult to get it unjammed and back to its orignal position.

Overall Review: Its pretty amazing, Great looking. I would totally pick this over any other mid tower case.
