Total build time on the NZXT Phantom 240 was just 35 minutes, I could have done it much quicker, but I took time to test if the NZXT X60 would fit the top 140mm fan mounts, it unfortunately did not, nor did the Corsair H100i. In the end I opted for the H80i, a 120mm all-in-one water cooling unit, it was a tight fit, but it fit none the less.
The chassis is quite wide, so there is loads of room for airflow to our GPU and a multi-GPU configuration should prove no issue for the Phantom 240.
The hard drive bays were easy to work with and you can see I have 3.5″ and 2.5″ drive sitting snug in the bottom two bays.
As I said before, the middle bay is removable should you have a long GPU, but even with cables sticking out the back of our GTX 560 Ti, there was no need to create any extra space.
The cable management space is doing a great job, although it would start filling up pretty quick if you were to saturate all hard drive bays and install a second GPU.
With the side panel back in place we still get a great view of the system build. The cable routing options are doing a good job of keeping the build looking neat and tidy, which can have benefits to airflow, but with such a big window it also helps to improve the aesthetics of the systems interior.
Rubber grommets really would have been nice, but you could easily clean up the look with some aftermarket braided cable extensions.
