Brace yourself, here comes the "nzxt" generation phantom 240

[brownninja97]

From this point one whenever i make a case thread you cannot say: Define R4. I understand you like the case, now quit shoving it down other peoples throats.  rant over, enjoy the case.

 

And so here is the next phantom, i think this is the fifth phantom, maybe the sixth, i dont even know, anyways it looks awesome so lets get onto it. Just as a note, the pictures on techpowerup dont do this case justice, im not sure why but it looks very ugly on their site so i had to get another source. (btw i havent mentioned fan filters, im not sure if they are there or not). You might be able to see the 140mm and 200mm fan mounts at the front as well behind that grill, its nice to see those options especially at this price range.

 

And so onto the front IO, we have two usb 3.0 and then all of the other standard stuff like power button and audio ports. The usb uses a 19pin so make sure your motherboard supports it.

 

Onto the interior first CALM DOWN, i know its scary that this is a phantom without rubber grommets but it costs $70 so dont be a chungus about it. It has a single 120mm at the front and at the back, these are their new fans so they shouldnt perform too bad. It supports 6 3.5/2.5 drives or you can rip that top drive bay out. As for cable routing its the same as always, bloody awesome, sadly no rubber here as they do need to save money considering the price but there are a ton of tiedowns so no need to cry, just yet. 

 

As for watercooling support, 140mm at the bottem front and a 240mm at the top and it supports push pull thanks to the massive bulge at the top, this is a midi case but that really doe make it look like a mid or even full tower. 

 

Here is a better view of the window on the side, it shows just about everything you would want to see, i think it goes a little too low considering there are no rubber pads there your cables will be visible and i doubt many will want to see them. There is no tint on this window also the case is the same shade of white, the darker bit at the bottem is because someone isnt using a bright enough flash.

 

 

Well then, whats your opinion, do you like it, do you hate it, can it run crysis, we will see.

[Vitalius]

Is it still made out of plastic?

Yes, but high quality plastic.

[Socky]

Still don't like it

[brownninja97]

Is it still made out of plastic?

Its cheaper, so must be metal

[PillowSmoke]

$70 wow, lol I should get one for myself.

[One Who Craves Souls]

Is it still made out of plastic?

For that price thou...

[ivhyn]

Doesn't look to bad actually, looks like an egg though

[PillowSmoke]

Somehow it reminds me of the cosmos II.

[klngpln]

The word "next gen" is overused for sone reason....

@topic case is not that sext anymore

[Me1z]

I'm still not buying one until they make it Mini ITX sized. The little guy would be so adorable it would rip the prodigy out of its itx throne. Cmon NZXT, get on this already!

[atrash]

Define R4..

[Imabigmac]

ahh it's so cute I might have to buy one and build a second rig in it so i will a papa Phantom and a child phantom! not a baby.....

[brownninja97]

Define R4..

im reporting you for pornography

[Jack.EXE]

so they left the sharp "fighter jet" look, and went for a potato?

[Ryan Leech]

SO SEXYYYYYYYY :wub:

but I'll stick with my Source 210 for now

[Paralectic]

still ugly

[Kevin_Walter]

I like the look of this more than the previous Phantoms. The ones before this remind me of Alienware's gaudy looking cases. This is simpler... doesn't have that weird cutout on the top. Still not a fan of the overall shape, but I like this more, so it's on the right track, imo.

 

Rubber grommets would be nice though.

 

Then again, I'm one of those weirdos that likes "simple", unassuming cases. Source 210 FTW!

[Cookybiscuit]

So happy they didn't go for the idiotic half mesh half window like they did on the 410, maybe I'll see if the door on this is the same size and steal one.

[dragosudeki]

Looks like they just made it more round. Still not a big fan of it.

[carolkarine]

Looks like a whale.

[HerEscutcheon]

The shape reminds me of when macs started looking more alien-organic.

[Heisenbleurgh]

I like NZXT cases a lot. An M-ITX Phantom would make me cry.

[Osmium]

NZXT has really stepped up their game latley. This is nothing near as good as the H440 but it is a definite improvement over the older Phantoms.
