Welcome to an electronics enthusiast website. Notice all the other vendor 'plugs', like say, reviews on processors, or new SSDs?
 
Not a horrible price, although I would like to see this case in action with temps and airflow tested. When was the last Chassis round-up? I believe the last one had three and they were sub $100. I would like to see a large round up with multiple price points. I am looking for a new case to tweak around with and build a new rig for the wife.
 
Meh... My 2-year old CoolerMaster CM-690 also holds 7 fans (120-140mm).

The recently revised CM-690 II holds 10 fans, accommodates 2 radiators, has removable/washable filters, and more, yet it's still cheaper ($80-$100) than this NZXT case. The $100 model adds even more features, such as an SLI/CrossFire video card support bracket (which can hold two 80mm fans) and an external "drop-in" SATA hard drive slot.

When did something as simple as the fan count in a PC chassis become, well, newsworthy?
 
I just don't pay more than 70 dollars for a case, although my most recent I did paid 100 but with a 25 dollar rebate so I really paid 75.

wait, I also got 40 back from my old case (build a PC for a friend with it) and my real cost went down to 35 dollars ... he he
 
this is a nice case i must say, but i still have not seen a case yet that dollar for dollar out performs the antec nine hundred two. some may offer better cooling, but the price spread with that doesnt make it a good deal against the antec case. but dollars aside i like this case and i may pick one up.
 
I think I'll stick with Lian-Li Cases. I'm not one for geometric sculptures or cases that look like they could sprout a robotic arm and start poking me. Makes me wonder what happened to good old square computer cases...
Well, I guess there's a market for everything these days... it's just down to personal preference. If you ask me, though, I prefer my CM 690 II Advanced, with 8 cooling fans and a price tag of $90.
 
HardwareSecrets reviewed this case today also: http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/NZXT-Phantom-Case-Review/1060. They noted quality / material issues. It's not for me. The next case I buy for myself will probably emphasize quiet. My OCs are mild, so I don't need all those potentially noisy fans.
 
[citation][nom]soldier37[/nom]The white phantom will be my next case when they release, updating my old antec case from 2004 its about damn time too! Nice time to go SSD as well. The white phantom design reminds me also of Stormtroopers from Star Wars episodes 4 thru 6 that is for those of you that remember the 70s.[/citation]

You mean the "REAL" Star Wars? :)
 
It's going to be another fugly plastic box. I'm sorry, but if I'm going to pay $100+ for something, I want it to be made out of quality parts. Hell, I'd pay double that price for a Lian-Li any day.

I know everyone has their own preference, but cases like these just scream teenager to me.
 
I am thinking about doing a very quiet water cooled setup, and want to get a case that would allow me to mount a 4x140 radiator on the top. That way the fans would cool the radiator and provide exhaust for the case. Does anyone have a case that they would recommend for that.
