Default Sigma Phantom
Looks slick, is it a good case?

Default Nah !!!
Go for something else this case sucks...

Specially it doesn't have front 120 mm fan or a top blow hole...
plus this guy has an 2x80mm side configuration which is quite noisy...


Get another one...

True this case does not have a front 120mm fan. It comes with 1 80mm in front, 2 80mm at side, and 1 120mm at back.

Though on the other end it is not actually "that" bad. The only way to make this work if you want better air cooling though is:

1: Stick a more noisy front fan of 80mm at front that flows 70+CFM which will create more noise.

2: buy 2 more 80mm fans at nice high airflow.

3: Personally mod the top of the case with a 120mm hole which will then push it to a nice ventilation.

If you want airflow I encourage you to look at the vid:


If you like it by all means it is not that bad, though it could use some better air cooling, which (if you willing to do some adjustments) can be accomplished.

NZXT Tempest then. Better than the Antec 900, trust me.

Looks good, as long as I can ditch those geeky lights.... not a fan... all back is better, no flashy lights

Might just get the CM 590 and done it....

What's the difference between 590/690?

Both are equally good right?
