NZXT has just announced the release of another version of its successful Phantom computer chassis that adds a new orange colorway as well as USB 3.0 connectivity to an already impressive features list.

The orange highlights used by the company for this newest version of the Phantom Big-Tower make the case an ideal candidate for an extravagant gaming PC.

Despite its good looks, the new orange colored Phantom isn't just a pretty face to look at, but also packs an impressive series of features such as the ability to house eATX motherboards and high-end graphic cards up to 350mm (13.77 inches) in length.

Additionally, users can also install up to 7 internal storage devices, either 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch, and five external 5.25-inch drive bays that can be used for adding various optical drives or fan controllers.

As far as cooling is concerned, the NZXT Phantom comes pre-fitted with an impressive number of fans, including on rear 120mm unit, a pair of 120mm side mounted fans and a top mounted 200mm fan.

More pretentious users can upgrade this configuration with additional fans or swap some of the 120mm units for larger 140mm or even 230mm fans.
