First world problem 600t vs phantom 630

[WillSK]

Hey guys,

I have been lucky enough to win a competition meaning an NZXT phantom 630 will be heading my way in the not too distant future.

I currently have a 600T white and so would love to hear what you guys suggest I use i.e. pros and cons of each and what you would do in my situation. The extra case will be used to build a rig for my brother or parents

cheers

Currently, your hardware fits in the 600t perfectly.

But, the Phantom is full tower, and so with the air cooler, it would look a bit mismatched.
However, I doubt that would be any different for your brother or parents if they had the Phantom...

Thinking of watercooling or anything in the future?

put the 600t in the phantom

I'd love to water cool in the future and therefore would the 630 offer me decent flexibility to do so nicely in the future? I also want to go SLI when i upgrade next time so maybe that'll fill up the rig a bit more nicely. However as you say I do agree that my 600T currently holds everything v nicely.

What would you do in my situation? The 630 is a newer case but I do love my 600T. However my room is grey and I will be getting the gunmetal grey 630 so ultimate colour matching

put the 600t in the phantom

Now that would be a sight to behold

The 630 will offer more than enough space to fit rads.
I'd say go for that then.

Yeah hence why i'll prob end up giving it to my brother. He wants to get into the pc gaming world at some point and it'd be nice for him to have a good case for free . Thanks for the congratulations

Hey guys just another quick question. Since i'm likely to be moving my stuff over to the 630 will i be able to plug in my CPU power tidily from my HX750w or would you recommend an extension for a full tower case??

Cheers!

Pretty sure you get an extension with the full tower NZXT cases?
I did with my Switch, and I'm pretty sure one comes with the 820.

If you have your PSU fan down, it usually reaches fine. Only if you go fan up that you may occasionally have problems

cheers dude, that's a lot of help hopefully i'll get an extension in that case
