NZXT Phantom 820 Case Review

Conclusions

The NZXT Phantom 820 is a much better case than the original Phantom, from its construction quality and materials used to its impressive set of features. This better quality, however, has a huge price tag; the new Phantom 820 is twice as expensive
as the original Phantom, and it is hard for us to recommend a computer case to the average user that is so expensive.
