Phanteks PH-EC416PTG_BR Eclipse P400 Steel ATX Mid Tower Case Black/Red, Tempered Glass Edition Cases

This case is incredible for the price point. It's very large for a standard ATX. It includes cable routing/built-in cabling system/access holes for mobo connection/etc. similar to cases costing $100 more. That's not an exaggeration. Very easy to route cables and make it look very good in the process. When reviewing this case, the main complaints where airflow. But I've not found that to be the case. Granted, I've installed 3 front 120mm fans, 2 top 120mm fans, a rear 120mm fan, and a modest but very nice working CPU fan. I'm running an Asus Intel Z390-P mobo with a modestly overclocked i5-9600K(3.7Ghz OC's to 4.4Ghz), and a Asus GeForce GTX 1960 Super(OC'd with Asus GPU Tweak 2). CPU temps maintaining at ~31° C idle and ~35-40° C load. GPU is overclocked at 2100Mhz, and still maintaining a load temp of ~60-68° C. Still testing the limits so far, but this is running very stable out of the box for several weeks. Honestly was worried about airflow and temps after reading some comments, but I'm modestly overclocking already and have so little issues with temps that I'm tempted to push it further...Pros: Easy space for 2 SSD, 2 SATA, 3 front fans, 2 top fans, 1 rear fan. The included fans were OK. Nothing great, but still moved decent airflow. I purchased extras for a total of 3 front fans, 2 top fans, a rear fan, and a nice DEEP COOL GAMMAXX 400 CPU fan. And I'm unable to overheat my system, even during a stress test. That CPU fan is highly recommended(I got the red LED version). The case fans I bought were super cheap, and still had zero issues with temps. The case offers a bunch of pre-installed cable routing systems, that really help with keeping cabling clean. As well as a bunch of rubber pass-through holes that allows you to route cables from one side of the case to the other.Cons: Not much. If you intend on using a water-cooled system, this doesn't support the usual preferred water cooled radiator at the top/exit. You'd have to install your radiator at the front/intake. Which isn't as ideal for a water cooled setup. So probably not ideal for radiator setups. But would still work. Honestly, with my experience so far with airflow and temps in this case, I don't think an elaborate water cool system is worth it for this case. If you want even better case airflow, look at the Eclipse P400A case with mesh front plate.Lighting: The lighting system that came with it was confusing at first, but ended up working very well. Note that the case has it's own lighting cabling that it natively connects to within the case, and is controlled by a button at the front of the case. It does not natively work with a motherboard's RGB connection. That confused me at first, but didn't turn out to be an issue. There is an optional piece you can purchase to make the case RGB work with a motherboard RGB input if you want. Otherwise to use the case light button, just connect everything together using the including adapters with the case.Overall, I can't be happier with this case. After I bought it, I read some additional reviews about airflow temps. Which worried me, but after installing decent fans(3 front 120mm intake, 2 top 120mm out, 1 rear 120mm out) I had very stable temps even during 4+ hrs of stress test gaming.Bottom line, the is probably the best case I've owned. Very sturdy. Parts are high quality. Cable routing is A+. With decent fans, airflow is top notch. Added bonus, it looks sexy as hell.

This was my first PC build and it couldn't have gone any smoother as far as the case is concerned. The person who was helping me out said this was a very easy case to build in in his experience. The case overall feels quite sturdy and has a great finish to it. The tempered glass looks amazing and is well worth it! The box (or whatever its called) along the bottom hides the power supply and 2 hard drives and gives the case a clean look. Your SSDs can be easily mounted on the right side of the case. I found cable management to be quite easy and I have ended up with a clean looking computer that I am very happy with.It comes with a magnetic LED strip that I stuck to the top of the case which provides just enough light for a pleasant glow without being too overpowering. A button on the case itself controls the colors of this strip and it cycles through a variety of colors.You can remove the front panel, but it takes more force than expected (or at least more than I was expecting).The only downside, is that the finish does seem to scratch if you move it around on its side on the desk, but not too bad. But I would be careful about placing it down and dragging it. You don't want anything too noticeable. I only have a very faint line but I dont' mind because its on the back side and I don't look on that side.

First off, this is my first build after 15 years! I could not find any tower that i found more attractive, full of awesome features, and priced as this one! for $80 this is literally a steal! If you're looking for a Mid ATX Tower that has adequate cable management, tool less HDD install bays, SSD drive bays and included RBG lighting strip - lets not forget the beautiful tempered glass side that lets you admire your build. So lets being with a thorough review!Packaging - When the UPS guy dropped this off at my porch i was in awe at the size of the box. It was packed like one of those chinese box within a box sets :) When i opened the first layer i had to pull out the second layered box, which had much more clear printing and branding all over it of the phanteks case. When i opened this second box i got to the goodies inside! My Phanteks P400 was tucked neatly between Styrofoam cutouts and was easy to flip upside down and gently slide out. There was plastic wrap on the glass side which was well protected from any possible scuffs or scratches. All the panels of the tower gently tug off or come off with unwinding the thumb screws. Tucked neatly in the cable management side, inside one of the HDD bays, is a small brown box including all the screws, wire straps and RGB light strip.Quality - You might think the cheaper price would mean cheaper quality.. WRONG. This thing is solid as can be. Each panel is constructed of solid metal and all the parts and components of this are put together very nicely. The machine quality and cutouts for things are designed so perfectly and in harmony. The front panel comes off so easily and the included dust filters do a great job in protecting any dust from getting into your system. Each screw is essentially a thumb screw that has just the right amount of tension so it doenst feel loose or cheap when you take them off. The only one negative thing i'd say is the paint quality is less than superior. While it looks beautiful the case scratches easily and even the screws get scratched when using a screwdriver. That is my only major gripe!Cable Management - One entire side of the panel is dedicated to cable management (obviously). While this isnt the most amazing cable management system in a case, it does the job and does it well. It requires you to be patient and use extensions as needed. Included are pre-fit velcro straps with the Phanteks logo on them that work really well. There are not too many slots for cable ties so it becomes a bit challenging. I guess the good thing is that the entire side is covered with the panel so it stays hidden if you are a wee-bit sloppy. The PSU compartment is spacious and doesn't prohibit any cables, resulting in a nice clean neat looking tower. Overall i would say cable management is great.Building Ease - This is by far one of the easiest towers i have built a pc in.There is ample amount of space and everything just works. The pass through slots for the motherboard are made of hiqh quality rubber and prevent anything from scratching or breaking. All the slots to hide cables are made so perfect. I attached a picture so you can see that its relatively easy to do some pretty decent cable management and get a clean looking pc. This is a great tower for new and seasoned builders. Best in its price range too.Overall - I highly recommend this tower to any builder, new or old, that is looking for a beautiful looking case that has ample space to fit all your goodies in. You can fit a 280mm CLC CPU Water cooler radiator in the front panel with ease and have fans mounted in the "ceiling" of the tower. The build quality, price and included rgb kit (as well as beauty) of this case makes it my favorite pc tower by far. Don't hesitate when buying this!Update 11/20/17So for some reason whenever I was gaming my cpu was running really hot. Hot to the point that the computer would shut itself down. Turns out that the front of the case was choking ny 280mm clc cooler by not letting it pull enough air through the radiator. I had to modify the case to make the flow adequate. While this is a flaw I don't think it will impact the typical user but for me this was a problem. I've added a pic below to show the modifications I did with a Drexel, some steel mesh and white spray paint.

Avant toutes choses, je précise que la config installée sur ce boitier vient d'un autre et marche très bien. Mais, installée sur ce Phanteks, le pc n'arrête pas de rebooter au lieu de se lancer. J'ai beau placer différemment les pins sur le f-panel, rien à faire. A éviter.Edit : J'ai résolu mon problème, qui ne venait pas du boitier, mais d'une barrette de mémoire mal installée. Donc mon commentaire du dessus n'est plus d'actualité. Sinon, bon boitier (même si un peu trop cher).

El terminado y materiales es impecable, se siente una construcción sólida y un diseño limpio y elegante. Incluye características de gabinetes mucho más caros como iluminación ambiente RGB que se puede controlar mediante el software de la tarjeta madre (Aura Sync, RGB Fusion) o con los botones del mismo gabinete te da solo 10 colores base. Tiene bastante espacio en la parte trasera para acomodar los cables así como varios huecos para pasar los cables y cintas de Velcro para una correcta gestión de cables y lograr un armado limpio. El espacio interior es amplio y el diseño sin obstrucciones ayuda a que el aire fluya libremente hacia los componentes, puedes conectar hasta 6 ventiladores (incluye 2 de 120mm de 3 pines) y es compatible con enfriamiento líquido. Incluye también filtros antipolvo en todas las entradas de aire que se pueden desmontar para limpiar. Una mejora que note respecto a mi gabinete anterior es que tiene un excelente flujo de aire y el equipo se calienta menos en general y el panel de vidrio templado además de verse genial aísla muy bien el sonido y el funcionamiento del equipo es muy silencioso. Lo recomiendo ampliamente.

large case easy to install everything. side panel gives a good view on components and dust covers are great. its got two 2.5 inch bays and 2 3.5 inches and plenty of expansion bays if you need more. the power supply is sectioned off and gives very good cable management options. would definatly recommend this case.

Jolie, pratique, parfait pour mon installation.

Case arrived a day earlier than I expected.Building in this case was dreamy. Tons of room to work in. Sleek and overall just a beautiful case in general. Cable management works quite well.Only cons I can think of, is how close the hdd sits to the back panel. I'm forced two bend the Sata cables quite a bit to tuck them in, more than I'd prefer. But cover still goes on quite easily and I didn't have to force anything.I have an atx mobo, and even though it's supported I feel if you go E-ATX it will cover up the cable managing rubber grommets completely, forcing you to route from the top/bottom or possibly through the removable ssd brackets.No room on the top for a radiator if you plan on using an AIO but the front panel is basically built to support them. I have a 240mm corsair h100i in it and it fits perfectly in a pull system. Seems as if you'd be able to install a 360mm if you remove/shift the power supply shroud and HDD brackets no problem. If I wanted to take a step further I'm sure I could install more fans on the top.Bottom line, I'm really liking this case. I had to decide between this and the NZXT Elite and I'm not feeling any regret.
