    I really don’t like the looks of any of them lol. Second one looks like some sort of floor drying fan upside down

    The phantom still looks good imo

    Everything else looks like garbage

    The blue one, The Asus Vento 3600 of 2005 still look nice for me.

    Lol. I had a red Asus Vento 3600. Sold it on eBay last year and put the money towards my Fractal Design Pop XL Air. It was so tempting to try and put some new components inside for the weirdest looking gaming PC ever, but rationality prevailed. The person who bought it said they had always wanted one though, so it was worth it

    Phantom sick everything else looks like a toaster or a coffee machine

    Looking back I’m surprised we ever had good thermals

    still doing daily business with number one right there

    I didnt know Firey RIP engines were gaming cases, I guess our print room people were slacking in the 2000s.

    That last one is the case I saw in every pc convention prebuild

    the phantom:

    A: released in 2011
    B: actually looks normal.

    My wifes pc uses my red Phantom still.

    I had the case in pic 8! Think it’s buried out in my storage room.

  21. Graywolfmarc

    First one is literally my current case.

  22. Storman1977

    I’m pretty sure the Phantom is NZXT’s most requested case for being updated and re-released

  23. Alonzo-Harris

    I like the first one and the last one.

  24. WhiskyBiznesss

    It’s the lack of efficient airflow for me.

  25. AejiGamez

    Didnt NZXT tease making the Phantom cases again on their Insta recently?

  26. BoxesFromEbay

    the pc in slide 2 better have debian on it

    The second PC I built for myself was the NZXT Phantom case, but I had the red version and I believe it was an EATX model. Naturally since I didn’t know what I was doing, I had a tiny motherboard in there, with light blue highlights, and the cable management was non-existent. It was a pretty silly build. That thing lasted me a solid 7-8 years, with a 2500k.

    Yeah, they look great…but can they run Crysis?

    The Phantom was very popular back then. I still have one in storage that housed my Q6600 build.

  34. Dazzer667

    I had the NZXT Phantom Enthusiast case and my god was that thing enormous and super heavy

    I also had a case similar to the last pic, mine had a motorised panel on the front that went up and down with a button press and was definitely not the reason I purchased it 😀

    nzxt use to go hard on the storm trooper looking cases.

  36. CattMk2

    the fact we dont have CD drives anymore means we now miss out on so many cool unique ways to hide/display them on cases

  37. Fatheroffigures

    My buddies referred to it as the Plastic Paradise era

  38. lostcosmonaut307

    *cue thousand-yard PTSD stare at seeing the Vento*

  39. Drenlin

    NZXT actually teased re-releasing the Phantom recently. I’m all for it, it’s a slick looking case with a lot of features and good airflow.
