NZXT Phantom 410 Case Review

The outward appearance of the Phantom 410 has done its job if you missed more typical design housed within.  The core of the 410 design is a steel design finished completely in matching white.  I am always a fan of windowed cases with matching interior finishes and this is no exception.  Paired with the usual cabling and such in black provides a nice contrast begging for a good black light.

A series of six rubber feet anchor things smoothly to any surface and help the large channel between to provide over 3/4 inch of clearance for a bottom mounted power supply and an optional 120mm bottom fan to breathe.  The Power supply intake is covered by a simple removable mesh for easy cleaning.  Of note is the fact this is the only mesh cover on the entire case.

In the back we see a pretty typical setup featuring a 120mm exhaust fan in matching white, seven rear expansion slots and two 1 inch water cooling ports.  The black slot covers are vented providing even more airflow through the back.

An angular door latches firmly to cover three 5.25" external drive bays.  The use of a push latch instead of a magnetic latch is a pleasant surprise.  Removal is accomplished by sliding the black tab to the right with no nasty breakaways to fight with.

The bottom is dominated by the angular front fans.  The front pops off to reveal a single white 120mm fan.  NZXT provides room for a second 120mm or you can upgrade to a single centered 140mm fan.  I would have preferred the option to go for a 140mm in each location but the ample mesh should breathe nicely right out of the box for most builds.
