Phanteks PH-EC416PSTG_AG Eclipse P400S Silent Edition with Tempered Glass, Anthracite Grey Cases

I was shopping around for quite some time to find the right case to replace my previous one. I build my PC back in 2011 and upgraded most pieces over the years but still had my old case which I've grown very tired of. The p400s gave me the clean look I wanted to have. The case has a great matte look, I really like the black/white color scheme and the build quality is nice with no sharp edges. A great tempered glass and RGB implementation under $100!The case fans that came with it are decent although I added another intake fan (Noctua 140mm) to get positive pressure as the case has quite a few holes (back slots, etc) and I wanted to make sure I wasn't sucking in dust. The fans are very quiet and the case as a whole keeps mostly silent.The built-in dust filters are doing their job and I have to clean them almost once a month in my office, but while cleaning I noticed almost no dust buildup on the inside peripherals.The underside really allows for great wire pathing letting you hide all those messy cables from your power supply (I hope you are using a fully modular one to reduce cables!), drives, fans, rbg extension cables.I will say that my system feels a big small inside the case. I have no need for the capability to add more drives on the visible side so there is plenty of empty space.In the future, I'll probably add a second 140mm fan to replace the 120 that comes with the case. I prefer to have 2x140mm instead of 3x120mm for sound purposes.I don't think you can go wrong with this case! Great features, easy to build, good quality and reasonable price with a full size glass window!

The noise is only relevant when I blast the fans which means 8 at 2k rpm since they are all connected to the included fan hub. The build quality is far more than just impressive. I can't express how awesome this case is. I was not taken aback by the size like some other reviewers because my previous cases have all been full towers but not dual systems. For a mid tower to have the ability and space to put in another system is amazing. So far we have come.I don't see an issue with the covers instead of grommets except when it comes to the big atx plug. I have trouble with that when it's grommets so the fact that Phanteks is trying a different approach is refreshing. I love the tool box. Still have my old one from my 3to4 yr old case. More screws because there's never too many.I love that the front and top come off so easily. The doors are amazing as well because I can pop em open whenever yet they won't open on their own and my kids can't open em.Much better protection from the furry friends' hair than I have ever had on a tower. The front filter/mesh is a very nice touch. Mine seems crooked but I don't care. You have to stare at it with the front off to see it. That's one of the only gripes I have.The PSU shroud should be detachable but it's not nbd.It has a lot of room to build in and planty of expansion options and fan expansion is available with a splitter.This tower is probably the easiest to build in. The manual is the best in the world. It beats out my previous Phanteks manual for my previous tower. Oh amd one last thing 3 ssd trays with 3 ssd mounts to hold em. Unlike my previous full tower which came with one ssd tray and like 6 mounts. Good job Phanteks no need to skimp on the trays when you go so far on the manual, the case and the hub.Specs: P600S BlackAMD 5600 @ 4.2Evga 280mm AIO Front in push/pullMSI 307016gb Ram2 nvme 1 4.0 [email protected] sata ssd/1 usb hddSceptre 30 inch Ultra Wide 2560x1080 200hz 5 ms8 fans in hubI usually stay around 50c full load even though it's 105f outside.I hope this review helps you on your journey.

This is by far, the BEST mid-tower case I've owned. And here's why:PROS:+ Feature-rich yet inexpensive+ Tempered Glass side panel for $89?! Duuuude...+ Can house even an EATX motherboard+ Excellent Cable Management+ Magnetic dust filters+ Panels are lined with sound-dampening material (with the right case fans, this can be a super quiet rig)+ Can change LED colors (up to 10)... and they're not too bright, not too dim. Just perfect+ Comes with an LED strip! (Not many case makers do this)+ Enough room for a push-pull configuration on the front (if you choose to go AIO water cooler)+ The back is spacious, and yet no space is wasted. You can utilize it by putting extra SSDs if you choose to+ Has a PSU and HDD Bay shroud to hide those ugly cables+ Simple, clean-looking, minimalistic design+ Did I mention it was only $89? lolCONS:(not really cons -- more like, nit-picking)- Top area too tight and can't do push-pull config for those of you who prefer your rad on top; Not a problem for me since I prefer to mount my rad on the front.- Grill (top area) of front panel can be a turn-off for some people (I'm one of them lol)- The case is a fingerprint magnet (but nothing that a clean rag can't remove)OTHER THOUGHTS:I had a hard time choosing between this case or getting the NZXT S340 Elite, or the IN WIN 303 (and other tempered glass cases out there. There are about 4 in total including this case I'm reviewing, in this price range) but in the end this one won my vote.Mainly because of the extra features the case offers (like that LED strip)This is a near-perfect case for me. I think for its price, this case has more feature(s) than what its competition can give. I had a great time building my new PC using the Phanteks P400S Tempered Glass, and would highly recommend it to anyone who needs a feature-rich case who's tight on budget. ^_^
