Has everyone seen this? Especially watercoolers. It fits a 360mm up top and a 240mm on the bottom without any mods! You can also fit a 280mm up top/below if you prefer. Not gonna be cheap though!
I dunno about it not being cheap in the relative sense - NZXT cases are very competitively priced despite their quality. Compared to other "high end" cases I think this will be very attractively priced.
Phantom design has always been a bit marmite and dat side panel is all wrong for that part of the market.. TTL has it that it could be around £200 in UK which is waaay too far. £175 would be an absolute limit I think.
Are nzxt still using that really cheap, brittle plastic? My first ever case was a nzxt case and never so much as looked at another since.
I wouldn't say the plastic on my current phantom is "brittle". Either way it shouldn't matter unless you're planning to step on top of it or mod it in some inexplicable manner. I'm still trying to piece out every little detail about the case checking whether its worth £199 or not. It really IS tempting >.< (http://www.scan.co.uk/products/nzxt-phantom-820-range-due-in-2nd-week-november-2012)
Think it is pretty good for the price, although for watercooling if i was going for the lower budget i'd just get an elysium they are at 150 or so is that not right? and can easily fit just as many rad's. We'll need to wait and see how well it catches on but I'm sure it will appeal to some people looking to watercool or just use big form factors
I have just changed my case from a Cosmos II to the Switch 810, and it fit's everything in it that this new NZXT case does. With this new case they have taken basically the Switch 810, changed the side panel and the front panel slightly and slapped around a £50 increase on the price because it's a new case. The good thing about it though is, that if you decide to buy one and you don't like the side panel but already have a switch 810, then you can use the side panel of the switch on the Phantom 820. I literally bought the 810 on the Friday and then on the Sunday or Monday morning I saw the OC3D review of this case, and thought to myself "NZXT you complete *****" but then after watching the review I am glad I bought the 810, because I saved myself basically £50. If you are thinking about buying this case, it's not worth it you would be better buying the switch 810 and saving yourself some money because they are basically the same case.
