Limited dust filtering, cable management requires some thoughtIntroduction
Things have been getting a thorough rustling in the case market in recent history. Every form factor from ITX on up to XL-ATX, has been getting some new life breathed into their respective segments with cases replete with features and styling that no one thought possible. NZXT, not being one to rest on their laurels for very long, have introduced a little something new to the ATX mid tower segment. It’s something they like to call the Phantom 240.
Boasting some pretty impressive specs for an ATX mid tower, yet not requiring you to take out a second mortgage on your house to buy it, this case stands to provide system builders on a budget with a truly impressive space for your hardware to be admired in. On top of this, it still offers the niceties that modern system builders come to expect. We’ve said it before, and it bears repeating: just because you’re “ballin’ on a budget,” that doesn’t have to mean that your system looks mediocre in the process. The question is… can this case provide its intended audience with enough features that make them feel like they aren’t really missing too much? History tells us “yes,” but like any good review site, we will turn our fair yet analytic eye toward the details for you to make sure that this product doesn’t trim too much fat away for the sake of cost and form factor.
