Introduction
If there is space to be had for one, using a full tower case should be considered as an option for all performance PC builds. Even at the bottom end of the price range, full-tower cases tend to be packed with the same features only available in the most expensive of mid-tower cases (and then some). In addition, the amount of interior space offered by itself usually proves to be an asset. Most case manufacturers have full tower cases available, and NZXT is no exception. HardwareLogic has their more recent creation, the Phantom Enthusiast Full Tower Case, up for review today.

Packaging
The box for the Phantom is pretty straightforward with a similar layout to most PC cases. The front of the box has a 3/4ths view of the case, and it uses the same view presented as a CAD-style shape outline as the background.
The rear of the box shows a picture of the case with the side panel removed and the various case features pointed out and explained. It also has a picture of the red and black versions of the case (out testing was performed with the black version).
The side of the box has a more detailed list of features to complement the ones on the back, and it also has a label for which color the case is painted.
Opening the box up presents you with various NZXT-brand power adapters first and foremost.
Removing the case from the box reveals the typical foam cutout interior packaging all wrapped in a bag to prevent scratches. The foam used here is a bit different than normal (and likely more expensive to use) as it is softer and made from separate foam sheets rather than molded to fit.
The case also has a pretty liberal amount of cling plastic around most of the corners, which is SOP for most cases.
All in all, the Phantom has pretty typical packaging, as far as cases are concerned, with a few nice touches here and there.
