NZXT Announces the Crafted Series Phantom 820 ATX Full-Tower Case
NZXT announced the next-generation of its Crafted Series Phantom line of premium gaming PC cases. The first model in the lineup is the Phantom 820. This ATX full-tower features a stylish new design that builds on the "edgy" design scheme of the original series. Measuring 210mm x 473mm x 490mm (W x H x D), the ATX full-tower case is designed for XL-ATX, E-ATX, ATX, mATX, and uITX motherboards. The case is designed with enough room for multiple 35 cm-long graphics cards, and water-cooling equipment, for which additional room can be made by removing portions of the drive cages.
The case includes room for four 5.25-inch drive bays, and six 3.5-inch (convertible to 2.5-inch) drive trays spread across two detachable cages. There are a total of nine expansion slots. The motherboard tray is surrounded by rubberized ducts that help with cable and coolant tubing management. Ventilation includes 200 mm front-intake, 200 mm side intake (below an acrylic window), 140 mm rear and top exhausts. Ample front-panel connectivity is included, with a number of USB 2.0 and 3.0 ports, in addition to audio. Made primarily of SECC, the Phantom 820 uses high-grade gunmetal ABS exteriors. Backed by a 2-year warranty, the Phantom 820 is priced around US $250. Find reviews at the sources.

review this new nzxt 820 full tower case please..
The price of this case deserves more quality and attention to details, buttons and leds looks so cheap.
I would prefer Cosmos 2 instead of this NZXT for 250 dollars
remain a good case but the hard disc brackets are very flimsy.
See...
18.6 height ? , judging from space on bottom (case is elevated compared to many and clearance above the MB tray , that got to be 20-21 high . posted size is mid tower specs .
Noticed differences....
Plastic Shell
Larger Top Hard Drive Cage
Smaller Bottom hard Drive Cage
Plastic feet giving the appearance that the case is much taller then the Switch 810
I didn't like the other NZXT and don't care for this one either.
