Black NZXT Phantom Mod'Log

[PBaines]

Mod log that i have been doing over the past week or so

theme is GREEN and BLACK, so any fans you see in it, are only there to see how everything fits. my fans i will use will have green led's

an 1155 build is going in here, all ready got my UD4 board, and som Mushkin Ram, just need to get either a 2500k or 2600k

oh and a new wc block

Reverse ATX? yes indeed'y ! why not? haha, something a bit different. nothing wrong with reversed atx at all ! primo

so changed original plans, i shall be mounting the psu up the front, and then modding the power inlet, so that it is extended to the other side of the case, we shall see how that turns out ! Rad in top and bottom, will make custom grills, the airflow will intake from top, exhaust through bottom

some quick updates for ya'll

Please note: fan's used are only for demonstration, will get some green led one's soon

let me know what you think

 

[S_I_N]

very nice indeed if anybody told me ya could get dual 360's in a phantom i would of pissed myself laughing my arse off

 

[SieB]

Thats pretty awesome to be fair and like S_I_N said, unless I had seen it I wouldn't have believed it. Look forward to seeing it all looped up and running.

 

[PBaines]

well, try this... If have worked out that i can fit a 480 in it...haha

but i only have 2 360 radiators, but who knows. i may get a 480 for it some day !

 

[S_I_N]

2 360's should handle all that case can hold easily imho but please MOAR PICS!!! when available

 

[PBaines]

When i do some more work on the case, you shall be first to know

ps, the top left fan on the top rad is non existant because i have put my 3.5" HDD there instead, i Believe it works well, because you cannot see it, and hey, one fan won't make that much of a difference

 

[yassarikhan786]

That shade of green looks fantastic. Did you do the sleaving yourself or are they some sort of extensions? I'm looking forward to more pics as well

nope in my case (932) the front fan is half blocked by the roof I sometimes unplug it as right now no fan controller so their at 100% and a tad hummy lol and i dont see much change in temps with it off. But fan controller is on its way along with a major score of an AX850 for about 140$ after rebates and instore promo

 

[PBaines]

Thanks ! i will get some pictures without flash, and then the true colours will come out

And yes, my FIRST psu sleeve ever, i will re heat shrink my base of the psu, make it look more tidy !! but the 8 pin atx one is an extension yes

will do

couple of days and there will be some more !

 

[MaXiMiZe]

Looking awesome so far. Will look like the dog's balls when the green LED fans go in

 

[SPS]

That's a very tidy build, loving that green and PSU sleeving. Top job there

 

[sheroo]

Very ingenious - nice job, looking forward to seeing it finished.

 

[TiDew]

sick job man!

 

[Solidarity]

This is a promising looking build

 

[PBaines]

As this fan slot will not be used, i think it is a very good place to mount my hdd

made a bracket that has the 120mm hole, holes. and measured out the holes from the bottom of the hdd to get onto it, so in the end. i think it works quite nice ! + you cant see it. now, i just have to find a suitable mount for the ssd, would like it close, so i only use on sata cable, because yes. i have thought about having it mounted on the back of the mobo tray

 

[Solidarity]

That is certainly one of the more interesting places I've seen a HDD mounted.

 

[PBaines]

Got my psu extensions

Thanks Adydas !

next shipment to come:

1 40mm radiator

8 Green sickle flows

1 Mayhems green dye

So all fans will be green, top rad will be push pull apart from HDD mounted area, only pull on that one

and the bottom rad will only have push

Window mod will start next week, along with the 5.25" and psu bay cover i am doing too

the top rad mounting will also receive treatment to get it sitting square, not on a downhill lean, i think the solution will be just to add some washers to the fans, till they line up perfectly with the hdd

 

[yassarikhan786]

It looks fantastic so far. It's extremely neat
