  • You really do need to watch the video review for this one, we could honestly write pages upon pages of text to even scratch the surface of this case. The long and short of it is it is a great chassis, it shares many features with the Switch 810, the thing...

  • Lots of room, Many options for ease of routing, Integrated fan controller and lighting system, Manufactured to accommodate any type of cooling setup, Sleek design, Many tool-less connections
  • Price puts it out of range of some enthusiasts, Would have liked to see another 8 pin ATX cable, Would have liked to see a fan included for the swivel point
  • All in all, this case is great! It really has a lot to offer to any level of user. The features can be utilized by novice users and hardcore enthusiasts alike.The quality of this case is impressive. With its steel and plastic construction, this case reall...

  • Abstract:  When it comes to designing new products, NZXT doesn’t take half measures and there’s no better example than the new Phantom 820. After undergoing top secret development for the better part of two years this full tower case is supposed to be perfectly s...

  • The Phantom series has always had a strong following for a combination of reasons. First and probably foremost, its visual appearance lends itself to being unique and one which is highly favoured in hardware circles, other reasons are the excellent coo...

  • Quadchannel digital fan controller, Integrated HUE lighting system, Dedicated rear I/O panel light, Six USB ports and an SD card reader, Room for at least two radiators, Lots of aircooling potential, Capacious throughout
  • Drive trays need work, Plastic accents look and feel cheap, Lots of outthebox cable clutter
  • NZXT chassis seem to get better with each revision, but the company has a habit of leaving room for a couple of small improvements. The Phantom 820 is a continuation of that trend; it's arguably NZXT's most impressive full-tower solution to date, yet the...
