NZXT Phantom Alternative

Rabban666 · 9 Jan 2012 at 22:49

Hi guys.

I really like the NZXT Phantom case but it doesn't have a window. I'm not keen on cutting up a new case so can anyone suggest something similar. It will need to fit a 240 radiator for water cooling.

Thanks in advance.

just got a phantom for chrimbo mate

trust me there is no alternitive, its absalutely stunning in the flesh. I will probably end up cutting the steel behind the mesh so its not a circular hole but will be keeping the mesh instead of using plexi as everything is visible through it anyway after you throw in some ccfl

You can order a window panel for the Phantom from the manufacturers IIRC. Also, the Phantom 410 has a half-window on the side panel, can fit a 240mm radiator and can be bought from OCUK.

Otherwise, there aren't that many cases which look like the Phantom so I don't think there's any I can suggest if you had your heart set on one.

you can't get the window panel in the uk as far as I can tell.

If you email the support team at NZXT they will sell you a window side panel. I had to do the same for a new led 200mm fan.

Did you manage to get it from NZXT? When I emailed them they said that I couldn't buy it in the UK.

I was told to contact the supplier I bought the case from as they may be able to supply to them for sale in the UK.
Maybe OCUK could sell them ? Must be a few NZXT Phantom owners that want the windowed side panel. (I went for the red Phantom).

I've just ordered the white and red phantom. I was thinking about cutting a window out and replacing the metal with clear plastic.
