Hello world, first time posting and was hoping that I could get some help with picking out a new computer case. My current case is getting old and not the best for cable management. My GPU (GTX 970 STRIX) barely fits and I'm also prepping for a new larger MOBO upgrade. I was looking at a few of NZXT Phantom cases as I heard that they are great for cable management and they look great, but I had a few questions that I was hoping could be answered here. The cases in question are as follows: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811146068 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811146106 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811146073 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811146110 I was mostly curious if there're any blaring issues with these cases that I have not stumbled upon or if they're just overall bad products. Is one of the above cases vastly superior to all of the others? Is there anything that I really need to know before buying any of these? Just any general information you guys have would be great.

I wouldn't go for the Phantom's, I see them at every LAN-Party with a 12year old doing some "hardcore gaming" on it. I think the look is so overused and feels and looks so plastic.

But if you like the look that is all that matters.

 

Personally i like my PC looking clean.

You could check out Fractal Design Define R5 or the NZXT H440, but that is just what i personally would go for :)

 

If you want it to look very clean (on the inside) i wouldn't really recommend the Phantom. Go for something with a PSU shroud(also good for tucking/hiding cables in them).  :P
