In 2010, NZXT introduced us to its Phantom chassis, an aggressively designed, feature-filled case for mainstream users, gamers and enthusiasts alike. Now, NZXT has unveiled its direct successor, the Phantom 530.

Three colors to choose from; Modular HDD cages of different sizes; Tool free HDD and ODD drive mounting is very easy and very secure; On board single 30 watt three speed fan controller; Ten fan 30 watt fan hub; 2.5-inch SSD tray positioned behind mother board tray; Water cooling support for large or...

Looks good and overall very functional. The angle of the front USB ports makes it difficult to remove devices without damaging the ports over time. Also, it is a quite tricky to remove the top, to add fans or some of the factory-installed wiring.

Great case, fits my h110 corsair 280mm CPU cooler. Stock case fans are nice and quiet. Comes with some fitted LED lights inside. Plenty of room for cable management.

With the Phantom 820, Phantom 630 and Phantom 410 (as well as the recently announced Phantom 240, for which the company is running a design your own competition), it's safe to say that NZXT is keen to have the iconic Phantom series of cases available in as many ATX form factors and at as many price...

- Installing everything was very easy in this case. I moved the 140mm fan from the back and put it on the side panel. With the 200mm on the front and the 140mm on the side my hard drives are staying cooler than i thought they would.

- There is plenty of room inside to work as well as behind the side panel for cable management; - I like that i was able to restack the drive cages to make everything fit the way i want; - The LED's on the back make life easy, no more finding a flashlight to plug something in.

- Why the fan hub behind the motherboard tray does not have 4 pin connectors on it will forever confuse me; - I was thinking of knocking down the rating to 4/5 because 4 of the motherboard standoffs stripped with very little pressure and one standoff did not have any threads at all (was just a round...

The NZXT Phantom 530 retails at $129.99 and it's certainly a beautiful casing. In the Malaysian market, the price is about RM 475.

We review NZXT's new Phantom 530 redesigned with up-to-date features. NZXT has put a lot of thought and design into this new chassis including, more adaptable cable management, support for AIO water coolers, a large 200mm fan, along with a 30 watt fan controller, and an LED lit IO area, which always...

This is the most bada** looking case I've ever seen. No official pics, on any site, have fully illustrated how good this looks so see mine. This thing is heavy and for good reason: NZXT built this in a real solid manner.

KitGuru says: We loved working with the NZXT Phantom 530, although the rate at which it gathers dust may be a problem for some. Overall, this is a well built chassis that will handle just about any specification you choose to integrate inside, with room to spare.

Great build quality; Great cooling performance; Great acoustics performance

Quickly attracts dust and fingerprints

Back at the start of this decade NZXT released the original Phantom. Representing as it did a bit of a change in aesthetic direction it wasn't without its detractors. The main criticism levelled at it, and as such, subsequent continuations of the breed was that it was insubstantial and "plasticy",...
