NZXT Phantom 820 Case Review

The Front Panel

Similarly to the original Phantom, the NZXT Phantom 820 has a door with magnetic latches on its front panel. The Phantom 820 has four external 5.25” bays, all protected by meshed covers with air filters. The original Phantom has five of these bays. However, the new Phantom 820 comes with an SD memory card reader and buttons for its advanced lighting system, features not available on the original Phantom.

Through a dial, the buttons of the lighting system allow you to turn the lights on or off, or change the color of the LEDs from red to green to blue as well as colors in-between such as orange and pink.

The front panel has a 200 mm fan identical to the one used on the left panel.
