NZXT Phantom 240 Mid Tower Computer Case, White (CA-PH240-W1)

I got this for my first computer build, as a starting gaming rig for myself.Now I am somewhat of a novice when it comes to these types of things, but I will give an honest review from my standpoint.The case size is slightly bigger than I thought it was going to be, but it feels very solid. It does not look cheep, the screws and glass window are very well made and the bottom is grooved well and it is pretty heavy, though the door feature to access your cd drive kinda feels sub-par and the power/reset buttons and usb ports look nice but I don't get a solid feeling when i turn it on. Maybe that might just be me though.I love the look, very slick and clean, easy to gather dust, but also easy to dust off. I also like that it has room for more fans if needed, but the standard fans that it comes with are just fine for my needs, as a low-rank starting gaming tower. Super quiet too! Sure you know it is on if it is, but very, very low hum.Plenty of room for what i am putting in it (standard graphics/mobo/one hard drive) and room for much more...in fact it might be too big for what i need it for, but i always like to leave room for improvement in purchase.Cons:There are minor things that I wish could be better, but they are certainly livable to me at least.One small thing while i was setting my rig up is that in order to hook up your HD you have to open the non-main side of the computer to get to the plug-in side of the HD baysLike i said the front door to the CD drive is a little squeaky.The USB 3.0 ports on the top seem convenient but they are a bit tough to put anything in, the angle makes them easily accessible but i always feel like i have to use a bit too much force to get anything in there.The cable management could be a bit better.

If you're looking for a white midtower case with loads of room, look no further. I saw that modern look and fell in love on the spot. I got it for a new build to replace an aging haf 912 (Loved that case a lot too)Pros: price (paid $70 free shipping). Painted interior (haf 912 didn't have that). It's got a modern design. Large window (had to buy a storm enforcer window for the haf). Thumbscrews out the wazoo (doesn't really come with most budget cases). About 3/4 inch for cable management. Fan and radiator mounts. Fairly tool less (heads up those thumbscrews are in there tight as hell so grab a screwdriver for the first crack)Cons (edited on 3/4/15): how the hell are you supposed to get the front and top panels off? One of the plastic snaps is hidden behind the bottom mounted 3.5 hd cage. Considering breaking that snap So I can install fans. The other snaps are really hard to remove too. That's what cost this case a star (redacted). Also there is a weird plastic spacer between the 5.25 tray and the removable cage. It's like somebody didn't measure the length of the cage proper or (more likely) the cages were used in another case model and they wanted to use them in this model as well to limit costs. EDIT: Once you get the panels off once, it seems to be much easier to repeat. And the Plastic spacer is held in my black screws that look like rivets. I failed pretty bad on that. /EDITOther thoughts: I love this case. NZXT puts out some quality stuff. If you're considering this case for a budget white build, you could definitely do much worse. if you have a bit more money though, i'd consider the NZXT Phantom h440.Edit on 03/19/2015: the lock on the concealer panel for the 5.25 bays broke today. Kinda pissed about that. It is one of those press-click locks. Gonna check at the local hardware store for a solution in the morning. If not I'll contact nzxt to see if they'll send me the piece or a replacement front panel.Edit on 03/5/2016: The 2 included fans recently started to fail. They would buzz after startup which i thought was weird and would quiet down if i flicked them a few times. I thought they might have come loose or something so i reinstalled them with no luck. i replaced them with some others and haven't had the problem since.

If you are looking for a white mid-tower then look no further. This is as beautifully designed well built case with ample airflow options and a white LED power indicator. The front ant top panels are both plastic but the color matching job with the steel parts is really well done. 3 5.5 inch front drive bays with toolless design for for easy mounting. 6 3.5 and 2.5 inch drive bays to install SSDs and HDDs of your choice.There are a few issues with this case however regarding the assembly. There is barely any room in left side of the case for cable management, even if you do a great job hiding those cable you'll find it difficult to close the cover. I personally opted for routing them in the right side and securing most of in the front of the power supply and at the top of the SSDs and HDDs bays after removing the top part to make some space. There is a small hole at the top left side of the case just besides the rear fan that would supposedly be used to route the 8 pin motherboard connector through, unfortunately you'd have to scratch it a little bit to make the hole a little wider for the 8 pin connector to get through. The front and top panel removing mechanism isn't the best and might require some force to get them off.Overall if you get past the assembly you'll be left off with an elegant looking and really well built case. I wouldn't recommend anything else at it's price range.

Really good customer service, sorted out the re-delivery really fast with zero troubles. The product is excellent, very compact design, slightly bigger (not by much) than the corsair 200R I used before due to the additional room at the top and the front, lots of space for cable management and lots of additional drive bays. The case came with more than enough screws and zip-ties which is excellent, would like to have more 120mm fans but that is asking alot for the price point, first time using this case and I definitely will look in to it again. There are even some room for radiators at the top of the case (I didnt use in this instance, but there are tons of space when I open up the top), excellent build quality and overall a very good case.

Looks great. Great value. Easy to work inside. And to save some inevitable questions:Yes it has fans installed, andNo, it does not have a power supply installed.

Arrived really fast and exactly what we expected!

Enjoying using it fantastic

Very nice looking case with plenty of space, does feel a little 'cheap' in some very select places, but this is only a minor complaint.
