You know, when NZXT released the original Phantom chassis from their 'crafted' series of PC cases we where impressed. And really, it's hard to not be impressed by any of NZXT's chassis but that one was something totally new and refreshing. As such I was excited to hear about the new Phantom 820 release. Unfortunately shipping and sample allocation went horribly wrong delaying this review way too much. But we finally have the NZXT Phantom 820 unit here in the test lab.

NZXT has been around for years, building an ongoing reputation with mostly their controversial chassis designs. It all really started with the Guardian chassis years ago and ever since they have put numerous chassis designs out on the market.

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. What about a 4-fold digital fan controller connected to a plethora of pre-equipped fans?
