I recently converted to the NZXT brand (coming from a modded white HAF 922). I now own an NZXT Phantom and boy I am impressed. For the past 2 days, I am amazed how it is easy to cable manage due to the conveniently placed routing holes. The built-in fan controller is a blessing. Now I am no longer bound by any allegiance to the Cooler Master clubhouse....:rockout: (just kidding: I'm still gonna mod my other case to look even better). Here are the pics of my recent acquisition: Hope you all like it.:)

PS.
If the look grows old on me, I'm going to mod it maybe in about a week...hehe
Also, can I be a member of this case club:respect:

Welcome to the club Kaiser Kraus:toast: The Phantom is a sweet case and I have seen many mod to this case, the options are endless due it's size. Don't be shy...crack that side panel open and show us the goods?:D

Lucky I like NZXT cases and T77's club quite a bit, so I don't really care. It's not like it's some huge deal anyways.

Sorry....I didn't intend to sound disrespectful. Always has and always will be CM member at heart ;). I still have my CM 690 advance and especially my white HAF 922. It happens that I was looking for a larger case with more cable management options.

to T77...

Thanks for letting me join this growing club of yours. Here are the insides of my "Tron" case. Hope you like it....:D

Kaiser Kraus. I was kidding, don't worry dude. Your new case looks great by the way.

How did you mount the H50 in the 5.25 bays like that?

Thanks for the praises. :)

Regarding the mounting of my H50, I used a coolermaster 4in1 device module. I flipped it and put a push-pull fan config on it. Pretty novel by the way....

Here is a pic of it...



Regarding the my temps inside the case...(after playing a solid 3 hrs of Battlefield: Bad company 2), here is a log of it.

Wow that is a beautiful build my friend!:toast: everything from the cable management to the h50 mod! I like that little cover over the psu unit, what was it originally? you should paint it gloss white like the case.:cool:

Thanks....:) I'm planning to paint that as well. Its a mod that I used in my HAF 922 build but I think it would look better inside the Phantom. Now only the cables need sleeving....hehe

Well my life in this Club were sadly shortlived as I now have moved on to another rig-upgrade that includes a new case (Fractal Design Define R3 Titanium) to house my compononents...

I simply couldnt resist the beaty&performance of the case & my Apollo has served me well during its rather long lifespan of roughly half a decade but its starting to show its age in form of scratches on the side window + other various defects.

So I guess Ill say see ya laterz instead of goodbye.

& sends a special greeting to t77 for his warmingly welcome when I joined teh club, BIG thx m8

hi guys, i have a NZXT Hades, have no pics yet, but will stick some up soon.
so join me up.

nice case, but i have a couple of little gripes.

with the side fan on, the HSF clearance is only about 130mm.
i needed cpu cooling more than case cooling, so i removed the side fan, and stuck a Tuniq Tower 120 in there instead.
my cpu temps dropped nearly 20.C from the intel stock cooler :)

also only comes with 1 top exhaust fan, this didn't really bother me as i had a spare 120mm fan laying around.
but even with the stock cooler fitted, a 25mm fan would not fit in the rear top exhaust, :(
as you can see in the pic below i stuck it below the gpu

paint has that orange peel texture to it, but i still think the case is good ;)

edit. this is an old pic, so i need to take some new ones

hi t77snapshot
if you look, it was an m-atx board, so the fan is below it.
the pci slot covers are a wire mesh type.
i just got a couple of small wood screws and screwed through the mesh into the fan casing.
it sounds dodgy, but it was easy to do,

since then though i got a dfi board that is atx, so i have had to take it out :ohwell:
and i noticed my gpu temps have crept up since :(
i will try and do some new pics soon.

Hey all I just got a NZXT TEMPEST EVO,was looking for a cheap second case for one of my Folding rigs,but wow I liked it so much I put my main rig into it..It is so much quieted than my HAF 922..The cable management will take some work to get it where I want it but i like the quality feel to it and the filtering on the fans and all black inside..My ASROCK P67 EXTREME 6 looks cool in it,grey over black..
Anyways just wanted to say hey...Cheers:toast:
