That case is sleeeek. Nice pics! And thanks for making them a reasonable size too :).

The board looks tiny in that case lol.
 
the phantom is a lovely case, for air that is but its still stunning and very unquie I ve seen some very nice mods with this case
 
Looks like there's plenty of room in that case. Have always had a black case in the past but there's a few cases out now that look better in white than black.
 
Funky! I'm going to pick up a Black Phantom at the weekend and can't wait. Is that a H50 or H70? I was looking at a H60 for cooling a 2500k, too scared to do a custom loop just now :(

its a h50 my friend has h70 and i get better temps than him dont know why :/ dont think h70 is worth the extra money for slightly better performance :/

Cheers fella. I think I'll go for the H60 as I prefer the look of the square block, but if I do go for a H50 or H70 then it will probably be the H50.
 
Do you mind if I bug you constantly on cable management when I'm doing my build? I want mine looking as clean as that.

Would also like to know what fan that is at the front.

Can you fit a Side fan on the NZXT with the H50? Btw superb cable management, some of the best I;ve seen.

lol thanks m8 atm it dont look like a side fan will fit i even had to move the top fan over to where the intake should go just could not get the h50 rad in :/, only way was to turn the whole rad upside down but then the pipes went all bendy and weird and i dont want the pump upside down will look dumb having corsair upside down lol. But in the future have plans to maybe cut the steel off behind the mesh and just keep the mesh with maybe some blue cathodes i see the same thing being done on youtube i think cant remebr looks decent with just the mesh.

Thanks and glad you liked it ;)
