The review for the NZXT Phantom will appear in the June issue of PCF (all the content for that issue will be written by the end of next week)

But I will be buying this chassis. Its just too beautiful.

Originally my pc came with a Cooler Master USP-100 case.

Running the i7 and 2 x GTX460's proved to be too hot for the case. I could keep a meal warm on the thing :mrgreen:

What is this? News toys!
Image

Yes, HAF-922 with 2 x 90CFM Sicklefans at the top. Moved the 200mm fan to the side. Turned the H70 radiator so that the tubes are at the bottom as well after I took the pic. This case moves a _lot_ of air! Also added 2 x 1Tb drives while I was at it.

An attempt at cable management, at least much better than my previous case but still not neat enough... Will try to redo it when I feel more inspired. :)

@ The_Jelly actually the cables are fairly long, I have made another attempt at cable management and it is looking much better. (Ok, so I got the inspiration from the pics you posted :D ). Have to say I'm very happy with that case, it has everything I could possibly want and then some.

Are u goin with a red theme bro? i wanted to go red cause of my mobo and cards but not sure what it would look like... so if u are id be keen to check some pics....

Yes, the idea was to go with a red theme. That's why I went for those fans, just love the look of the transparent black outside (obviously to match the inside of the case), red blades and red led's.

Now I just need to overcome the obstacle with the fans and their cables...

yeah those fans are hot bro... nice choice... only option to fix the fans would be to mod them as said in your thread... otherwise u have to try source those adapters....

^^ err you cant just upload pics straight from your pc. You need to upload them to a site like photobucket first and then paste the URL(or image code) between [img].....[/img] :wink:

Here is some advice on how to do this :wink:

//edit. I think most image hosting sites have a guide on how to host images and then how to post them on other sites :wink:
