Not sure how many of you actually even own a NZXT, other than myself, but I know the phantom is a pretty popular case as well. If you DO have em, lets see em.

I have a phantom...I guess I could take some pics of it...after I rearrange the cables, again. I keep changing things, which is bad for cable management. The case has good cable management though, so it helps.
Yes - the cable management was not easy but I rather enjoyed getting that part done.. it's not as anally clean as some people would like but works for me just fine. The first thing I didn't like about my M59 was that the sides would not come off easily out of the box.. I had to really struggle with them and once the window side popped off I was pulling so hard it dented the back side above the pci slot area, but not badly.. I just bent it back in but didn't fill me with confidence i had made a good buy... buuuut now I am pretty happy with it. Other minor gripes, the side window was very loose but it was easy to secure.. I had to rip the filter material out of the face plate to get decent air flow in the front... no removable motherboard tray, but I knew about that coming into the buy..
Nice. Why the dual heatsinks? Dual cpu?
I just noticed the lego storm trooper. nice touch.I love star wars legos, have a 4504 millennium falcon set and a few others..
got my sound card finally and installed that (refurb x-fi ti - got for optical out) so will take a couple internal shots of the finished product.. I'm still debating on some more lighting though.. uv ccfl.. hmmm.. decisions decisions.![]()
Old bad pics during the build. If you notice, my second card wasn't even plugged in.
A couple things have changed since the pics, and if you'd like, I could get updated pics.

Ok, I ran into a problem. Since the phantom's power supply intakes from them bottom of the case i couldn't put it on the floor because of the carpet, but the case is to tall to sit on the desk (or at least it is for me) My desk came with a little metal plate for a case to sit on but it was WAY to small for the phantom to sit on. So i made this, not sure if i should post this in the "Ghetto mod" thread, but since it's for my phantom i just posted it here.

You could take it a step further and cut out a hole where the intake fan at the bottom of the case is... then even more air can make it into the PSU. Thats what I would personally do anyway.
