Special thanks to NZXT for providing us with the Phantom 820 Case to review. The case is the Phantom 820 and it features 4 included cooling fans, integrated HUE lighting system, 4 channel digital fan controller, removable hard drive cages, USB 3.0 support and much more. Now just in time for the holidays we have what would happen if you took the best features from the Switch 810 and Phantom and put them into one case. Another full tower case that again became a leader in the case market. The big surprise from NZXT this year was the Switch 810. Since its release it is now available in red and even pink and NZXT released a value version of the case (Phanton 410). The case became so popular we saw many custom PC makers using it and component companies using it to demo their products. The case was just awesome, a unique design, built in fan controller and much more. But have a peek anyway.NZXT’s Phantom case really brought NZXT into the spotlight. So I'll start by saying that the photo's won't do the chassis any real justice. NZXT shipped out a white edition of the chassis, and although that is absolutely gorgeous to see, it's also a pain in the proverbial a$$ to photograph in our tidy white photo studio. Anyway, head on over to the next page where we'll start up the review. They all have started shipping and will have price tags of 249 USD. Heck it even has an SD card reader built in.īut wait, there's more, an original 5.25 screw-less system, vast space to encompass six hard drives, and four 5.25 bays to enable smooth customization and color and HUE configurable LEDs.Īs stated, NZXT has prepped three versions of the product, one colored white, one gunmetal grey and the other one black. Next to that, the Phantom comes with high performance cooling advantages with many (up-to nine) fan cooling options, dual radiator liquid cooling support, quad water-cooling cutouts, and is equipped with equipped with one 140mm and three 200mm fans. These units are available in black, white, and red. The new Phantom 820 was designed with shiny, smooth contours and feels stealthy really. The NZXT Phantom 820 is a full tower case with an excess of room for just about anything you'd like to install in there. Yes, with a changing enthusast PC landscape with features like backplate cutouts, the many water cooling options, fan controller and LED technology NZXT figured that it need to move towards an enthusiast class Phantom SKU. What about a 4-fold digital fan controller connected to a plethora of pre-equipped fans? Rising from the ashes of their crafted series is the Phantom 820 full tower chassis, absolutely impressive in many ways as the design is simply great, the features are grand and then the extras still need to kick in. It all really started with the Guardian chassis years ago and ever since they have put numerous chassis designs out on the market. NZXT has been around for years, building an ongoing reputation with mostly their controversial chassis designs. But we finally have the NZXT Phantom 820 unit here in the test lab. Unfortunately shipping and sample allocation went horribly wrong delaying this review way too much. As such I was excited to hear about the new Phantom 820 release. And really, it's hard to not be impressed by any of NZXT's chassis but that one was something totally new and refreshing. You know, when NZXT released the original Phantom chassis from their 'crafted' series of PC cases we where impressed.
