NZXT Phantom Full Tower Chassis Review

The install time for the Phantom was a little over 20 minutes, which is pretty snappy and so it should be with all those quick release mechanisms and thumb screws. As I expected, there were no conflicts with our test components and the Antec 920 CPU cooler and radiator went in without any issues. The cable management cut-outs on the phantom are quite narrow, but its more than enough for the components installed today and there are still two of the cut-outs completely unused.

There is plenty of clearance between the top fan and the radiator, as well as the radiator and the CPU cooling block, so airflow should flow nicely throughout, there is plenty of room for airflow to our GTX 560 Ti also, helped further by those ventilated expansion slot covers.

Our Kingston SSD is barely visible in the left hard drive rack, but on the plus side it does look neat and tidy and that’s always a welcome addition in an system build.

Around the back of the system everything is as I expected it would be, neat, tidy and very clean looking.
