INZXT describes its Phantom 410 model as a 'Crafted Mid Tower Chassis'. There's no denying it's a mid-tower design, since it accommodates an ATX motherboard and has seven expansion slots. That puts it plumb in the mainstream, but there's the fact that it...

The Phantom 410 inherits the good looks of its full-tower predecessor but adds some tweaks of its own. It’s a great-looking case in any color (we’ve used white and red for builds), but the gunmetal gray is spectacular. The paint is thick and...

I found the build quality of the Phantom 410 to be great. It is constructed of high quality materials - even the plastic parts don't feel cheap. The flawless finish inside and out is great, but is somewhat of a dust and fingerprint magnet. My...

The Phantom 410 has actually been around for a litle while now, and I guess is one of those "Marmite" cases you either do or don't like the looks of. Having not seen an example of the case in the flesh here at OC3D towers before the release of the...

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

In terms of design, I have yet to meet anyone who doesn’t like the elegant curves of Phantom. However, quite a few users wanted a smaller case with a window to show off their elite components yet with nearly, if not all of the features in the original...

The Phantom 410 is a solid mid tower case. It packs many great features into a well managed space. From the wire management to the adjustable fan mount, a lot of thought went into this design. The airflow in this chassis seems sufficient to handle...

NZXT has proven to still have some punch in it when they presented the NZXT Phantom. The Phantom 410 is not only a much needed smaller version of the successful case, but also a case at that magical 100 Euro price point. The case clearly has the same...
