Not that long ago we took a look at NZXT’s Phantom 820 case. This case took the best parts of NZXT’s original Phantom and combined them with the best parts of their own Switch 810 case. We loved the case and even gave it our Recommended Award. With a pricetag of $249.99 the Phantom 820 may be a little too expensive for some people. At CES we were shown the Phantom 630, which seemed to be like the little brother to the Phantom 820. While NZXT explained that this is a less expensive Phantom it has a lot of new features that are not in the 820. Some of these features include dual SSD mounts behind the motherboard tray, three included 200mm fans, three removable hard drive cages, and a new motherboard tray design. Can NZXT release a new Phantom this soon and still impress? Read on as we find out...
The H630 is NZXT’s first full-tower case designed for silent-computing. The NZXT H630 shares the same internal base design as the Phantom 630 with two less 5.25” drive bays and increased 3.5” modular cage mounting support. Externally, the H630 adopts a more conservative, less-rounded look compared to the Phantom series while maintaining an unmistakably NZXT signature aesthetic. Noise dampening materials line the top, front and side panels of the H630 to minimize sound output from the enthusiast-class components installed inside. Radiator support up to 360mm is available at the top and front, while a 240mm or 280mm can be installed at the bottom. The H630 HDD cages can even be reconfigured or removed entirely to accommodate thicker radiators for the front. In terms of component support, the NZXT H630 provides 190mm of CPU heatsink height clearance as well as 354mm clearance for video cards with ample cable management routing space of 27mm behind the right side panel. An SD-card reader connected via USB 2.0 header is built into the front panel I/O as well as an LED on/off switch for the rear I/O. The NZXT H630 measures 245 x 547 x 567mm (W x H x D) made of SECC steel as well as ABS Plastic and supports ITX through XL-ATX/EATX motherboard sizes. Right out of the box, the NZXT H630 comes with a 20mm front intake fan as well as a 140mm rear exhaust fan, pre-installed into the built-in 10-channel 3-pin fan hub.
The other day I took a look at the NZT Hades PC case and I didn’t quite like it too much, but today I’ve got a case that’s the opposite, it’s one that I truly like. Today for review I have the NZXT Tempest Evo and it’s a very nice case with a lot of great features that makes it a great choice for anyone looking for a new home for their system.
Nanoxia was a company I had not heard of up until recently. We were introduced to them at CES this year as they provided cases for Swiftech’s demo systems. The German company was founded in 2006 and has been making some great cooling fans and other smaller PC accessories. This past year they introduced their first case, the Deep Silence 1. These were what I saw at CES and I was rather impressed. Now I have one to review and I am excited to spend some real time with the case. The Nanoxia Deep Silence 1 is a mid tower that if you can guess by the name is made for silence. It has sound dampening material throughout, three of Nanoxia’s Deep Silence fans, room for up to 8 hard drives, dual fan controller and USB 3.0 support. Can this case compete against other silent cases out there? Let’s find out!
Today we are looking at a brand new micro-ATX case in NZXT’s crafted series, the Vulcan. The Vulcan is a mATX case intended for enthusiasts and is said to be 40% smaller than the traditional ATX full tower, yet can still accommodate a full length video card and up to a 6.5" tall CPU cooler. Join us as we take a look at this new mighty mini wonder that is ideal for LAN gamers on the go!
Many of you may not have heard of BitFenix, a relatively new company on the scene. If you have been following KitGuru over the last few months however, you will have noticed that we have been focusing on them quite a bit. With industry veterans such as Coco Lee (ex Coolermaster) making up their ranks, BitFenix has been working to create the perception that their new chassis designs will redefine the market. With the launch of the Colossus, we get to see if this bit of tech has got what it takes to attract the enthusiast hordes.

Cooler Master are a highly respected brand within enthusiast circles, having amassed a huge following over the years. A portion of their success is due to their innovative cooling solutions ranging from CPU coolers to High Air Flow (HAF) cases as well as stand alone fans.
With the Dragon Rider, In Win has done what all good designers do, regardless of the medium they are working in. They've taken some styling cues from their excellent Dragon Slayer case, made it bigger by using the best design features from their Maelstrom full-tower chassis and added some innovative and impressive new features.
