Installation/Setup

Installing in the Phantom really only had me worried about one thing.. scratching the paint. When working in a case with a glossy finish it’s hard to not be worried about damaging it with every move you make. On the plus side of things NZXT gave you more than enough room to work around for wire management when installing everything. Installing your hard drives is easy in the hard drive trays in both cages, if you are using 3 ½ drives you won’t even need screws. Speaking of the cages, you can always pull that second cage out if you need the extra room for a long video card. Installing a DVD drive in the 5 ¼ bays would be easier if our case would have come with the clips that it should have but even without the clips a few screws and I was finished. Working in the Phantom is what I would have called amazing last year and this year it is fairly standard. You won’t be disappointed.

Nice review... Sucks about the quality control on that one, couldn't believe it myself.

One question I had was were the LEDs orange or still the standard blue, I didn't see that in the write up.

They're orange LEDs in the fan controller.

I haven't been a fan of the phantom look until I read through this review it seems like a nice case. I like the color scheme, this would be cool if I wanted to do a Komets theme PC or something.
