Been meaning to post this up but have been lazy

This is the red version of the case.

Frenzy · 4 Jun 2011 at 15:24

Just bought http://www.xigmatek.com/product.php?productid=87
off the bay to go on the side panel. I wanted http://www.xigmatek.com/product.php?productid=71 but they dont seem to sell them anywhere but on one US site :S

i bought a 180mm akasa blue led fan on the bay for a fiver

Do 180s fit on the side? I thought they had some weird mounting that was 190mm or something which the xigmateks have extra holes for. The only other thing is I wanted a thin fan because of my antec kuhler rad at the back, the xigmateks are the thinnest at 20mm so just went for that

That case is all kinds of awesome, seriously considering ordering one...

Phenomenologica · 4 Jun 2011 at 19:25

I think it would seriously bug me that the logo on the CPU cooler is upside down. Nice build, though.

Ginnyfizz · 4 Jun 2011 at 19:45

That case looks seriously nice...something I shall have to consider for my new build.

Frenzy · 4 Jun 2011 at 20:45

Haha I wasnt sure if the pipes should go at the top or bottom irregardless of the logo and it does annoy me aswell (at least its neat, keeps the pipes taught) but I just felt the pump might perform better if I placed it like this

Personally I was going to get an obsidian 600D but my friend persuaded me to look at the phantom. I hate cheap cases and I hate plasticy gimmicky stuff, but when I received it I was VERY impressed. The build quality on this case is awesome and it doesnt actually look over the top in person!

...I dont really like it.

To me those red stripes should definetely be black, or the black vents should all be red.

Apem · 4 Jun 2011 at 21:35

Sane but dont like any of them phantoms tbh too plasticy for me.

I Recently bought some 200mm coolermaster fans for my phantom case only to fine that they don't fit. Nzxt use some really awkward fan size for the 200mm fan and only the nzxt fans will fit correctly. I managed to use the coolermaster fans on the top two 200mm slots by sliding them in and not screwing them in, but I'm fairly sure only nzxt fans fit on the side panel

cant you change the pics so they appear under each other instead of side by side.

These cases look nice but they look ugly at the front.

freddie64 · 5 Jun 2011 at 10:04

Case doesn't look to bad, but as long as you are happy with it, that's the main thing.

Internal pics look very good, nice build and cable management (pci-e cables a bit long though

)

Xire · 5 Jun 2011 at 12:58

Really like the look of that case
