Fresh from its recent misfortune, NZXT has gussied-up to unveil its newest flagship creation - Phantom.

Phantom - a full-tower chassis targeted towards being particularly palatable to enthusiasts - finds NZXT delving deep into its bag-of-tricks, to deliver a medley of features into what it describes, as its most elegant and intelligent chassis to date.

First and foremost, cooling capabilities have benefitted from the pearls of NZZT's wisdom. No less than seven cooling configurations - ranging from support for dual 200mm, single 230/200mm, triple 120mm and also 140mm fans - grace the Phantom. Water-cooling buffs need fear not either, as the Phantom is kitted-out with dual radiator support, plus thoughtful cut-outs for tubing. Those yearning stillness will be pleased with the presence of an integrated fan controller, handling up to five 20W channels.

Real-estate shouldn't be an issue either, according to the company. The Phantom has been developed mindfully to support larger heatsink units and graphics solutions, plus will artfully accommodate an E-ATX mainboard. Support for up to 7 hard drives and up-to five 5.25in bays is also part of the puzzle, together with the benefits of screw-less installation.

On the form side of the equation, NZXT has infused 'meticulous' wire management into the Phantom and blends in micro-management for chassis lighting options, combined with features to minimise vibration from components such as the PSU.

In demonstrating its eagerness to listen to the community it serves, a collaboration with Craig Brugger - the modder behind projects such as OSIDIAS and Rogue - influenced the design credentials of the Phantom, which is available in black, red and white colour options.

Availability is expected in September, with the chassis aiming to attract a price-tag of $139.99.
