NZXT Phantom 410

Zitat: Pro: + Quirky aesthetics + Great cooling performance + Integrated fan controller + Decent cable management Con: - Full-tower Phantom is only £20 more - Plastic front and top panels feel weak It´s easy to see why NZXT´s Phantom has become a popular choice among self-builders; it isn´t too expensive, it´s high on features, it looks quirky, and it offers excellent cooling performance. The second-generation model isn´t drop-dead gorgeous, nor is it exquisitely built, but it continues to impress in all the areas that matter. Like its predecessor, the Phantom 410 offers a massive array of cooling configurations, it still looks admirably wacky, it´s easy to work with, and features such as USB 3.0 and an integrated fan controller complete a tidy mid-tower package. Bottom line: The aesthetics remain an acquired taste, and there´s no shortage of competition at this price point, but the Phantom 410 is one of the most feature-packed high-performance chassis available for under £85.

Zitat: Pro: + Mogelijkheid tot 240 mm-radiator (waterkoeling) + schroefloos systeem + mooie witte ventilatoren meegeleverd + fancontroller. Contra: - Degelijkheid van de behuizing. NZXT heeft een leuke behuizing op de markt gebracht met leuke mogelijkheden, alhoewel deze voor een prijs van ongeveer 100 euro wel wat degelijker aan had mogen voelen. Met een fancontroller, de mogelijkheid tot vele ventilatoren en de mogelijkheid om een 240 mm-radiator in de behuizing te plaatsen, heeft NZXT prima gezorgd voor de koelmogelijkheden in de behuizing. Het schroefloos systeem maakt het makkelijk een harde schijf of een dvd- of Blu-ray-speler bij te bouwen. Kortom, NZXT heeft een erg complete behuizing op de markt gebracht, de behuizing ziet er ook nog is strak uit. Het enige minpuntje is de degelijkheid van de behuizing.

Zitat: There are a couple of oddities or irregularities that I have to point out. First be aware that the plastic top and face are a true red, but the steel is slightly lighter in color. With every lot where the paint is replenished, the color may be closer or a bit further away as that batch of paint empties. Even with a slight difference I am still very pleased with the looks of the red Phantom 410. The second thing is that the hard drives are all wired on the left of the chassis. Simply adding extra holes for the locking tabs of the trays would allow the user to wire them behind the motherboard tray with everything else. The last thing I am going to pick on is the lack of changing or even removing the blue LED fan. I can take the power and activity lights being blue, but the blue glow on the inside doesn´t add kindly to a red interior. Mentioning what I have is really nit picking at the Phantom 410 for what I like personally, but are all valid points to consider when looking into the purchase of this case.

Zitat: Radical looks and decent cooling, but there are better cases out there for the same money

Zitat: + Niedrige Temperaturen + Lüftersteuerung - Enthaltene Lüfter relativ laut
