Packaging:
The NZXT Khaos comes in a very large black box, displaying the picture of the actual case itself, on the front of the box. The sides of the box contain the specs for the case, while the rear contains the features. The box sides are reinforced with staples, which keep it sturdy. But all jokes aside, I suggest the buddy system when carrying this case long distances. Especially when carrying it up two flights of stairs. The bulky size and 35+ pounds, makes it hard to maneuver from one place to another. Upon opening the box, you will find the case secured by styrofoam and wrapped in plastic.

Excellent review Erik. This is what case reviews should look like IMHO.
I personally like this case looks and the features I see. The larger cases appeal to me for their ease of installation and roomier interiors which lend themselves to cleaner layouts. I would like to see a bit more refinement on the panel corners and edges but otherwise the design and features rock! Two thumbs up from me.
The panel corners actually flow very well with the entire layout of the cases exterior. The sides that curve actually give it a menacing, “dark tower” look.
