I was looking at the Phantom case...I really like the way it looks, but I'm slightly concerned for airflow in the case and temps with overclocking.

So I like the phantom, but I want my parts to be cool, and I also like to show off what's inside... recommendations are quite welcome. I also like the cooler master full towers, they are simple I guess but I like them.

Phantom has good airflow as long as you add some fans.

Also Lancool K62R1 or Xigamatek Utgard are cases you may want to look at.

There is supposed to be a windowed panel of the Phantom at some point of time. The airflow in it is pretty good aswell. You may also want to check out the Coolermaster 690II advanced.

I have sort of shifted to the Cooler Master HAF X. like the look, has a side panel, excellent airflow. Anyone have any reasons not to get this case? lol

Only thing I have against the case is the look

But it's a fine case, no issues with it besides it's love or hate looks.

It is a great case but you have to like the look of it. Since you do like the looks, you could do much worse than buying the HAF X.

Haha, I could see how the look would certainly sit against some people. But I do like it. That's most likely what I'll end up going with.

Check out TTL's review of the Lancool PC-K62. I went from an Antec 900 to the Lancool and mate I absolutely love it.

go with the phantom, the airflow in it is quite good

Top two air cooling cases would be:

1st:

Silverstone FT02

2nd:

Antec DF 85

I have a lian li with 2 top 140mm and 2 lower 120mm and rear 120mm same sort of inside as the lancools, its awsome flow i passively cool my CPU with a ninja, build quality is awsome too.
