NZXT Phantom 820 Full Tower Chassis with RGB Color Changing Lights and Fan Control CA-PH820-G1, Gunmetal (Shell Only)

I would like to mention first that I am replacing a Sentey Stealth GS-6008 case. While I did like the look of the case, there was absolutely no room to do anything in there. I've got a Corsair TX750 PSU that has a crazy amount of cables (not detachable), so management of them in that case was near impossible. It also doesn't have a cutout for a CPU mount on the other side of the case, which was a pain. I needed something with a lot of room.The Phantom 820 however... wow. The reviews that say this case is huge wasn't kidding. I had a hard time even getting the box through the door. The 820 was shipped from a few states over, which had me cringing thinking about the damage. It was apparent that one of the styrofoam in the packaging did receive a blow, but the case itself once unboxed did not appear to be damaged. A lot of reviews I've noticed mention that the side panels were difficult to remove. Fortunately I did not have this issue, and they were relatively easy. One thing I must point out; the cable management. Based NZXT already did most of the work for you. I am terrible at cable management, so this was a huge help. The included fans (and LEDs) are powered by a molex and sata power connector, so all you need to do is hook those up to your PSU and you're good to go. This also means less cables going to the motherboard, which is a plus in my book. There are also several extra fan connectors left over if you want to add more, although I haven't gotten to use those yet. The Sentey case I had was equipped with about 4 fans, and they would be considered loud to some. The ones on the 820, however, were not loud at all, even on the highest setting. I've noticed a nice drop in temps, too.There is one disappointing issue I've come across in regards to the CPU mount cutout on the other side of the case. The top left screw of my fan mount is slightly hidden behind the case; which I was surprised, seeing how large the cutout area was. I can probably get some needle-nose pliers to loosen it, but ehh. My next goal is to finally get around to installing water cooling, so I hope this won't be too big of an issue. The CPU mount cutout was one of the contributing factors of getting a new case. Having to remove the motherboard to get to it is not efficient at all.Overall, I'm loving this case. The removable filters are a welcomed feature, the rear I/O light is very useful for me, and I also didn't even have to bang myself up trying to work inside the case! If you're looking for something that has a lot of room for future-proofing, this case will do it.

First off, like anyone else said, this case is HUGE. It's a lot more daunting when it's actually in front of you. Be aware that this case is already 30 pounds by itself, and with a fully loaded system, it'll be quite heavy to be move around, so don't expect to move this too much.Pros :- HUGE.- Lots of interior space and good cable management working options inside and behind the motherboard tray.- Integrated HUE eliminates my own need to purchase seperate cathodes.- Many fan options as well as water cooling options to house the biggest of radiators.- High quality rubber grommets and overall case quality with a mix of metal, steel, and mesh.- Tons of USB ports as well as a SD card slot.- Fan filters EVERYWHERE. Two on the bottom, one for PSU and bottom intake. Two on top, one in front, and another on the side if you choose to use the included 200mm fan.- It's white! I personally prefer white cases of black, so if you're like me, you should grab it! It was between this case and Corsair's 600T Graphite, and I'm glad I got this one!- Tons of small features that you'll be glad that were included such as the pivot fan, the included 8PIN mobo extender, etc.Cons :- When using a SD card, the cutout isn't big enough for the SD so the door MUST stay open when SD card is in use.- The very top 5.25 drive bay has a bar because it is removable to make room for extended radiators but because of this, right angle SATA cables CANNOT be used on the first 5.25 bay. However, this can be simply resolved by using a regular non-right angle SATA cable, but it's unfortunate that NZXT did not include a regular SATA cable being aware of the issue.- It was really hard to get the front panel back on the case after taking it off, but it might just be my unit rather than the whole 820 line.PC Specs.Case : NZXT Phantom 820 White ATX Full Size.CPU : Intel i7-2600k @ 4.5 GHz.Heatsink : CoolerMaster Hyper 212+.Motherboard : ASUS P8Z68 DELUXE/Gen3.GPU : XFX HD Radeon 7950 Black Edition 3GB.RAM : Corsair VENGEANCE RAM 16GB (4 x 4GB @ 1600)PSU : Rosewill 1000w Semi-Modular (Bronze Cert.)SSD : OCZ Vertex 3 120GBHDD : Western Digital Cavier Black 1TBOptical : HP CD DVD Writer/Burner
