I’ve taken my first step to making my new system! My sexy new case and motherboard came in yesterday and I spent a little time popping the motherboard in, and a lot of time staring at every corner of the case. It ended up being a lot bigger than I thought it would be. I really don’t think it’s going to fit in the area of my desk that’s designed for towers to go XD It’s called Phantom, by NZXT. A couple of people I’ve shown pictures to think it looks a little weird, but I really like the design. To say the least, it’s a LOT better than my current one -_-; The front door has a magnetic latch, and opens to reveal replaceable bay covers that you can easily remove and replace. MUCH more convenient than the older cases where you’d have to bash the covers out, often snapping off clips that hold them in place. It also came with 4 fans and offers 7 fans to be used in total. I’m planning on fitting it out with the extra few fans so I don’t think I’ll be able to get to sleep with my computer on anymore o_o; There are also fan controls on the top of the case to allow you to control all the fans installed in the case. <object width="500" height="281"> <param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/a7yElY8FjrU&amp;color1=3a3a3a&amp;color2=999999&amp;border=0&amp;fs=1&amp;hl=en&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;iv_load_policy=3&amp;showsearch=0?rel=0"/> <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"/> <embed wmode="transparent" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/a7yElY8FjrU&amp;color1=3a3a3a&amp;color2=999999&amp;border=0&amp;fs=1&amp;hl=en&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;iv_load_policy=3&amp;showsearch=0?rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="500" height="281"></embed> <param name="wmode" value="transparent"/> </object> The Phantom is also available in black and red.
