Problematic hard drive installation with vibration dampening that gets circumvented
Great looking exterior, Can be used for any number of configurations from lowest to the most extreme configurations, The large fans used throughout the system help move monuments amounts of air while being quiet, Beautiful lighting system can be used in a enthusiasts system to really accent the color scheme they may be already going for, Water cooling can easily be added later on, 9 expansi
Expensive, especially for a product that has a plastic exterior, Heavy, Extremely large, Flimsy drive sleds
Performance in system is about being able to effectively keep temperatures down while at the same time not making so much noise as to be distracting. The NZXT Phantom 820 succeeds immensely by using its three large 200mm fans to move large amounts of ...

The NZXT Phantom 820 is a much better case than the original Phantom, from its construction quality and materials used to its impressive set of features. This better quality, however, has a huge price tag; the new Phantom 820 is twice as expensive as the...
Multi-color HUE lighting built right in, Multi-zone LED lighting option, Multi-zone four channel fan-controller, Fans can be turned off completely, The Phantom all grown up, Extremely well engineered interior layout, Plenty of fans right out of the box, C
Fragile HDD trays and, in our sample, screws that are too short for 2.5" HDDs, HDD trays only accessible from the messy side, No HPTX support, No 3.5" drive bay, Screw-less locks for ODDs do not hold that well
NZXT has tried pushing into the 200+ USD case market before, and while the Khaos was an interesting case, its overall success was limited. NZXT has now taken the Phantom and grown it out into a fully-fledged monster. "Not only bigger, but better" holds...
Abstract: Video Review: The NZXT Phantom 820 Case is a true full tower case in that it is massive. It's also loaded with excellent features. The case looks stylish, comes stock with 3 200mm fans and a 140mm, but more can be installed. Impressive lightening sys...

Abstract: The Phantom 820 is NZXT's sidewinder missile, and they have it aimed right at the top of the market for gaming cases. The nice man from FedEx showed up at my door just a few hours ago, lugging this huge box through the pouring rain. And when I say huge, t...
I think before the NZXT Phantom 820 was sent to me, that if you had told me NZXT was going to send me a first class enthusiast case that easily ranked among the best in performance, I would've been skeptical. They've had some hits (the Phantom 410 was act...
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...

Abstract: NZXT es una marca muy respetada en el ámbito de los gabinetes y no es para menos, sus diseños siempre fueron de gran calidad, valor estético y performance, tres virtudes que son dificiles de lograr al mismo tiempo en un gabinete. Hoy tenemos el gran orgul...
