![]() ![]() High-end water cooling solutions up to three fans for a push-pull configuration: 90mm of internal top space with top 280/360mm and bottom 240/280mm radiator support for unmatched liquid cooling.Integrated HUE lighting for illuminating the exterior/interior of your enclosure with option to turn on/off and allow you to customize the colors at your heart’s content.Fully equipped with one 140mm and three 200mm fans for the high airflow and low noise.Special thanks to NZXT for providing us with the Phantom 820 Case to review. The case is the Phantom 820 and it features 4 included cooling fans, integrated HUE lighting system, 4 channel digital fan controller, removable hard drive cages, USB 3.0 support and much more. Now just in time for the holidays we have what would happen if you took the best features from the Switch 810 and Phantom and put them into one case. Another full tower case that again became a leader in the case market. The big surprise from NZXT this year was the Switch 810. Since its release it is now available in red and even pink and NZXT released a value version of the case (Phanton 410). The case became so popular we saw many custom PC makers using it and component companies using it to demo their products. The case was just awesome, a unique design, built in fan controller and much more. In your opinion, are Corsair Obsidians (or at least the one you have) the best you've seen? (I value your opinion because I bet you've gone through a lot of cases, or at least reviews of them.NZXT’s Phantom case really brought NZXT into the spotlight. I hope you haven't gotten into any accidents by doing that with any cases. Oh, so the two tests are one and the same. I'm a typical 100 kg heavy-weight reviewer and this is really enough to destroy something (some cases were mess after this).If that's the case, I'll be looking forward to a review of it (900D)! Also yeah, side notes by you on how it does compared to older models. Simply sit down (without the plastic crap on top) and try to sit on it one minute. It will be interesting, what the new case can better (or not). My own case is an Obsidian 800D and I've modified this case with USB 3.0 and a new SATA3 PCB. I'm waiting for the corsair Obsidian 900D. By manually widening the holes, we were able to get a drive secured, but we had to make clear how unacceptable this was for a $250 case. In our German launch-day evaluation, we pointed out that the M3x5 screws NZXT included were too short to even reach an SSD. This is another part of our original review that justifies an update. We don't have the updated trays in our office to test, but if NZXT was truly able to solve the issues we encountered during our review, much of our original concern would, in fact, be lessened. ![]() Although they look the same (and consequently recess SSDs too far back for our taste), the company claims issues with flexing and the hard drive pins should be addressed. Now, according to NZXT, shortly after shipping out its review units, it changed the material used in the drive trays. If you're an enthusiast using multiple mechanical disks, this can lead to them resonating together, which we'll let you hear in our videos. More worrisome is that there's contact between the metal pins holding the hard drive in place and the cage, negating any positive effect those rubber grommets might have had. The extra effort isn't what bothers us most. ![]()
