The NZXT Phantom 820 is simply a beast of a computer case. The ambient temperatures with the fans completely off for our benchmarking on this case proves that roominess is all here in the NZXT Phantom 820. The sleek housing design and the color work is pe...

Fans of the original Phantom are going to love the Phantom 820; this case is an enthusiasts dream with superior airflow and a wide array of water cooling options. Space is the key to back this up in the Phantom 820, with a vast amount room within the chas...

Gorgeous chassis with eyecatching, customizable lighting across three separate zones.
Wiring and instructions a bit tricky to figure out; finicky fan controller.
If you are in the market for a full tower chassis that's very well built, whether you're a seasoned or first time builder, I would highly recommend the NZXT Phantom 820 for your next build. At a price point of $249.99 with all the extras, it is worth t...

Paint scratches easily, Hard to take off Top Cover, Top Fan Filters not easily Accessible, Fairly expensive for an average Joe, even though it comes with lots of features
You have to be crazy to not consider the NZXT Phantom 820 as your next gaming chassis. It has put so much joy into our everyday lives, that we consider the Phantom 820 to be a MUST HAVE product for 2012. With an almost perfect score of 9.5 out of 10, the...

The Phantom 820 represents NZXT's attempt to play in the big leagues, and we'd call it a partial success. Really, this is a nice chassis, but there is a handful of issues that keep us from calling it perfect. And, at the end of the day, there are competin...

If you are in the market for a full tower case, it would be hard to top the NZXT Phantom 820. NZXT really pulled out all the stops making this the most feature rich, and well cooled case, we have seen to date. ...

NZXT Phantom 820There's a fine line between offering up a decked-out killer chassis with all the amenities and a garish clown of a case, and NZXT found the sweet spot with the Phantom 820 in our opinion. Despite its ample lighting options and a side panel...
So other then than that it's all good. I really like the looks, and enjoy the fact how stunning a chassis can really be. By the way, make no mistake... the chassis does make a tiny bit of noise, but at very normal to low levels. You have four fans in the...
Whew! This is one big case. And despite all the accommodations made for air coolers (top-down air intake, for example), one gets the impression this case was really designed for water coolers. However, you can certainly put fans and radiators together i...
