It has a bunch of pre-installed fans and black drive bay dividers and air filters

There's a pretty cool case coming out of NZXT's labs, one that looks awesome and has a cool white-and-black color combo, with the black only there to enhance the snowy aesthetics of the product.

Large enough to hold full-ATX motherboards and anything smaller than that, the new case, called Phantom 240, has a removable hard drive cage.

This is important because the best and largest graphics cards on the market wouldn't fit in the chassis otherwise. They're pretty long after all, especially the AMD RadeoN R9 295 X2 and NVIDIA GeForce GTX Titan-Z (both dual-GPU models).

The front I/O panel is hidden behind a nice door, and includes USB 3.0 and audio headers, which isn't that unusual, unlike the door itself, which is a nice touch.

As for internal cooling, we're looking at a 120 mm rear fan and two 120 mm or 120 mm top fans.

In the future, the Phantom 240 might become NZXT's flagship chassis, as was the case with the Phantom and Phantom 410 before it. The side window will probably help with that.

Overall, the new enclosure is a cool product that could sell very well, although the price of $69.99 / €50.57 makes it debatable. It's lower than on other high-end cases I've seen, but still pretty high in the grand scheme of things. Then again, it's not like people seeking to make a top-tier PC are strapped for cash.
