Introduction
I would like to thank
Caseking.de &
Overclockers UK for supplying the review sample.
The original Phantom was the most successful chassis from NZXT. The new chassis carries the number 820, which denotes that the new Phantom is a full tower chassis. It is available in three colors: gunmetal, matt black and white. We got the white variant for our review.

Packaging
NZXT ships the Phantom 820 in a fully colored cardboard box. Based on a white backdrop, the gunmetal colored variant of the chassis adorns the front of the box, while the rear goes into detail about the features of the chassis. One side of the box lists the specifications and what color you will be getting, and the other holds the features of this new flagship case. Carrying holes on these sides make transport a bit easier, but the unit is rather large.
Two thick Styrofoam spacers hold the case in place, while a plastic bag protects it from scratches and fingerprints.

You will also receive a pretty stylish plastic box with separate compartments that hold all the screws, some zip ties, and a silicone cover for the top USB ports. A sufficiently detailed manual is also part of these extras.
