    Review Rant

    I hate when people make reviews when they obviously don't even had said product. Especially coming from a source like PC magazine. No pictures to back it up except the factory photos off the web site.

    And to list this as a con:

    "Designed for Micro ATX motherboards."

    NZXT made a micro atx case to house micro atx motherboards? How dare they!

    Source article:

    http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2363539,00.asp


    It shouldn't even be called a review. "Hey here's some opinions I made based on some other peoples reviews I read."

    rant off.

    *edit*

    And to have this listed as a pro: "Lightweight when empty."

    Yeah, because computer cases with no parts inside is a better alternative than a computer with internals. Like he was swinging the empty case around his cubicle making dive bombing airplane sounds, "My God, this is so light, what a fool I have been reviewing computers that had components inside."

    Old school or the new, doesn't mean a thing if your heart's not true...

    I don't even bother with PCmag or PC World because over the years I have found that they are slanted to their advertisers.

      Yeah, I have avoided them too. It's kind of funny, I was reading and watching reviews of that case then came across that piece of trash.

        I just bought the NZXT Phantom and will be installing my computer into it after Christmas.

        Where do you put the Bayonet?

          That's really cool Apache, I was thinking about getting the Phantom in red for my every day / work pc. I wanted to get the Vulcan for my gaming rig because I need something more compact. Once in a blue moon my friends and I get together and lan, lugging around my previous set up was ridiculous to say the least lol.

              I don't trust that site now because one of the cons isn't 'looks absolutely atrocious'.
