![]() ![]() The removable HD tray mechanisms are all extremely well-engineered and do not have any fit problems. NZXT (as always) gives you tons of extra length on case leads, so no matter what motherboard you have or where the headers are, you will not have any problems plugging things in. All you need to do is plug the side fan into one of the controller leads and you’re set. The fan controller and HUE lighting system are already installed and working out of the box. This was really a very minor problem, but when you have something that is so good and so easy to work with, the little tiny problems tend to stick out more. I definitely made it work, but the effort involved was more substantial than every other part of building into this case, so it was notable. I had to really squeeze tightly to have enough screw come through to “grab” onto the SSD. As you can see in the picture below, the screw barely reaches all the way through the tray:Ī slight problem with length of hard drive screws The only problem I encountered was with the hard drive trays they were just slightly too thick to accommodate a normal hard drive mounting screw. It’s entirely possible to make a completely clean, “wireless-looking” build with the Phantom 820. Cable management is simple and there is a ton of room in the back of the motherboard tray for any possible cables you could ever try to cram back there. There’s more room than you need, there are cutouts exactly where you want and need them to be, there are labels when you need them and clean surfaces with no markings when you don’t. It doesn’t really get much smoother or easier than putting a system into this case. I’ve said it before, and I mean it: building a PC into an NZXT case is a dream. They also include a 140mm rear fan, and all of these are hooked up to an integrated NZXT fan controller that is easily accessible from the top control panel. One of the best features of the Phantom 82o are the included fans three massive 200mm 800rpm fans are included, and just on their own serve to move enough air around (silently) to cool any normal system. ![]() The inside maintains the high level of quality that I’ve come to expect from NZXT from the motherboard tray area, to the massive CPU cutout, to the endless options for cable management. The buttons all have a high level of fit and finish, and do not feel cheap or easily breakable like so many other cases. The integrated HUE lighting system is gorgeous it disappears when off, and when it’s on, the translucent rails where the light is seen are in aesthetically awesome places. The Phantom 820 comes with a separate case of screws and accessories as well, with individual compartments for each type of screw-a very nice feature.ĭetails are where NZXT has always excelled, and the Phantom 820 is the pinnacle of attention to detail in their case lineup. If you can’t fit your multiple GPUs, multiple drives, and giant watercooling setup in here, you’re probably doing it wrong. This is about as big as it gets for a “normal” enthusiast PC case. Pivot: 1x 140mm or 1x 120mm internal pivot fan Rear: 1x 140mm (included) or 1x 120mm height adjustable Top: 2x 200mm (One included) or 2x 140mm or 3x 120mm Integrated HUE LED lighting system, SD Card Reader, 4-channel 15-watt Fan Digital Controller The Phantom 820 retains NZXT’s Phantom design language with its angular surfaces, but has improved over its predecessors in almost every way. The Phantom 820 is even bigger than the Switch 810 ![]()
