I really wanna get rid of my NZXT Phantom, just tired of it for some reason.
Anyone got suggestions? I'd like it to be within the same price range, but I might settle for a Midi-tower, just because I don't really need the extra space.

Personally, I've looked at the Corsair Midi-towers, and I really like the looks of those, like the Corsair Graphite 600T.

What don't you like about the Phantom? Any particular reason, or just shopping fever?

The corsairs are good cases, if you want a nice looking case, the 600T white is nice looking.

How about a Fractal R4?

Interested in a aluminium Lian Li?

Antec P280? Although it's a big case and not really a looker.

Well, I bought it few months back when I put together my PC, and I had no idea how big it really was - it's just too big to move, and I move it a lot. Second, there is some issues with the fan controller which is built in - so I might RMA it, and sell it without opening the box. I'm now looking to buy a fan controller, but because the NZXT Phantom has the door, it's just not optimal.. :rolleyes:

I am very much in love with the 600T, and I think I'll pick that. It just looks very neat!
 
Try the Corsair 600T Silver Edition! The black is nice, the white is sexier, but i doubt many people have the silver. Also, from the reviews I have seen, it's more of a 'gun metal' grey in colour.

I find the white on to be better looking though :D

Yeah not a fan of the grey. Grey plastic, bleh... The white is stunning, dunno how it will hold over time though (white plastic case tend to yellow over time if not looked after).

The 600T is a good case, it has one issue imo, which is the 200mm front fan. It's a slimline fan, not particularly efficient, and can be a pain to find a decent replacement (AFAIK the Bitfenix Spectre Pro 200mm is an option). I don't think you would have to worry about case temps too much though. most users see no need to mod at all, it's mostly extreme enthusiasts that find the airflow lacking (SLI, bit tricky to watercool, H100 is a gamble depending on motherboard).

If you have limited number of drives, you also have the option to move a HDD case closer to the PSU to free some air for the front fan. Maybe not an if you have a long PSU, or it's not modular.

Well, if you move the HDDs, a normal 200mm can fit? If not, I'd say I would most likely mod it and put a 140mm there.
