Alright, let's get this show on the road. First off, packaging, so you know what to look for in the stores of course. At the moment of writing you'll be hard-pressed to find one though -- only limited batches will be released at first.

The Phantom 820 is packaged in two Styrofoam blocks and protected with plastic stickers and a plastic bag preventing it from damage during transport.

Here we have the product unpacked, don't let the photo fool you... it is a seriously big chassis. The product is a full tower and has dimensions of 235mm (W) x 650mm (H) x 612mm (D), it weighs in at a stunning 15kg.

Front side perspective, you'll spot a door with behind it access for the ODDs, nicely meshed. You'll have access to four external 5.25" drive bays all based on a screw less rail design. But let's zoom in at the top a little:

Behind the magnetically sealed door you will find four tool free 5.25" bays for your optical storage with on top of it a SD card reader, which we think is a great addition to enthusiast class chassis. The large round button is in fact a rotatable LED controller which allows you to cycle through nearlyt endless colour combinations. Of course you could disable the lighting all together as well.

NZXT Phantom 630 review
We review the NZXT Phantom 630 Full tower PC chassis. Definitely gorgeous in many ways as the design is prolonging in what we have seen in the past year or two when NZXT released their first phantom chassis.

We test and review the NZXT Phantom 820. Absolutely stunning in many ways as the design is simply great, the features are grand and then the extras still need to kick in. What about a fan controller connected to a plethora of pre-equipped fans

NZXT Phantom review
We review the NZXT Phantom. Absolutely stunning in many ways as the design is simply great, the features are grand and then the extras still need to kick in. What about a 5-fold fan controller connected to a plethora of pre-equipped fans? Yep, a fan controller in the chassis, something we have been requesting for years. The NZXT Phantom is a full tower case with an excess of room for just about anything you'd like to install in there.
