Phanteks Eclipse P400S PH-EC416PSTG_BW Silent Edition Black/White Tempered Glass/Steel RGB ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: -relatively well made -price is fair -looks really good -cable management is decent enough to create a rather clean install

Cons: Now, I've owned this case for about a month. Built my first PC in about years in it and when I first got it I thought it was pretty nice. I don't want to be too hard on it because in all fairness it is a decent case...and it looks great. However, after building in it there are there are a few things to be conscious of at the start...if these don't bother you, then I say go for it. There is very little room between the top of the motherboard and the top of the case. I had to be a little rough with my corsair cables to make the turn to plug them in. You would have less of a problem with custom sleeved cables, but even then it would be tough. Installing a fan, much less a radiator,is all but impossible. So if your thinking top mounted fans and/or radiator, you may want to look elsewhere. The basement has only a few slots next to the motherboard for cables, which makes running larger power cables like video card 8 and 6 pins, especially in SLI/Crossfire a little messy and troublesome. Now, here is my biggest problem with this case and could be a deal breaker for anyone, this is my opinion only, so take it for what you will. The cooling on this case is horrible. There is just no way that the two small openings at the top and bottom can be expected to pull in enough air to adequately cool your internal components, especially with todays video cards (I have a Vega 56, water cooled 2700). With the front panel on and the TG side panel on, I could make it about 3-5 min in a game, let alone stress testing. As soon as you take the front panel off, things cool down immediately by at least 10c. I had to modify my front panel to get this thing operable. Other than a few other little personal quibbles, that's about it, so in closing....

Overall Review: I would recommend this product for smaller, lower TDP builds, but with some caveats. I'm sorry for the rambling but when building a pc, on a particular budget and without a place to actually look at these things a review is sometimes all you have. Build quality is pretty good for a sub $100 case, and if you can forgive these issues or get around them, you prob will be ok. Maybe take a look at the Fractal Meshify C for the same price or even Phanteks own Enthoo Pro M at just $10-$20 more and you may be a little more satisfied with what you get. Oh and one more small detail, although the included (2)fans are serviceable, theyre not the best, even Phanteks makes better, much better, so keep that in mind when building your pc and again forget about top mounted fans and especially a radiator. Just cant happen..at least as far as I can gather... and then again I just maybe wrong about all of this and I suck at building a PC... thats certainly always a possibility.

Pros: TG? check Power supply shroud? check RGB LED? check Rubber grommet? Check Tons of room for fans, radiator, and air flow? Check Pretty good fan filter? Check Variety of colors combination to choose from? Check I mean... what more can you ask for at this price range? The included fans isn't pwm, but it's still fairly quiet.. Side panel is nice and clear, and with included RGB strip, I can show off my rig with no extra cost. If you take out the cost of that aswell, all in all, this case is like $60 - $65, which you CANNOT beat at the price point. Room for 2 ssd on the back, and 2 HDD is way more than enough for an average user. If you're creating a rig where you'd have like 10 hard drives, you shouldnt even be looking at a case at this price point. This was my first rig with TG and cable management, and I'd say I did a pretty good job with the cable management, despite being my first time. The included velcro straps on the back, and extra zip tides really helped. All in all, cant really ask for much better. If you're trying to choose between NZXT S340 (not Elite) and this one, I think it's pretty obvious. For $5 more, you get TG, RGB Light, Great cable management assistance in the back (velcro straps). even a reset button, which isnt on the S340 sadly lol. This case is easily comparable to the S340 elite for much cheaper price. Buy it.

Cons: Honestly, there's only ONE thing.. just ONE.. that I didnt like and I wish they can improve on.. The PSU shroud doesn't have a cutout for PCIE cable to run through.. I have to run in through the smaller hole where I put my power switch, reset switch, etc, cables through.. Which was a bit of pain. Other than that, it's great.

Overall Review: All in all, if this is the highest your budget allows, grab it. There's not much better, if any, at this price range. Of course, it isn't the best case out there, the more expensive ones will be better, but for this price and lower, I can look you in the eyes and say... this one is one of the best. Also.. ordered it yesterday morning.. came next day morning when I woke up.. crazy fast, and it was free shipping too..

Pros: - Exceptional quality in every aspect of the case. They did not cheap out anywhere on this design! - Cable management everywhere to keep your wires out of sight and well organized. - Aesthetically very pleasing; LEDs are a nice touch but not overwhelming (I really dislike the RGB fad going on, but this case does it well) - Tons of room to work with; case is well segregated and was very well thought out. - The tempered glass side is beautiful!

Cons: - Newegg forced me to type something in this box to publish my review, so here I am, wasting 5 seconds of your life.

Overall Review: If you are building a PC, BUY THIS CASE! I have never spent this much money on a computer case before, but it was worth every penny. Stop ripping yourself off which budget 40 dollar boxes of metal; put your components in the mansion they deserve!

Pros: - Tempered Glass looks great, no scratches or blemishes yet. - Cable Management was a breeze. Velcro straps help tie everything down, and multiple cutouts allow for easy access to the mobo. - RGB. I'm a fan. Front panel RGB is controlled by a button in the front I/O, and includes two RGB LED strips to be used as you see fit. - Clean white is beautiful, I love the visual synergy with my components. - PSU shroud is great, hides what needs hiding. - Plenty of space to work in, fits large GPU with no problem. - The option to remove the top panels (magnetic square panels) to allow more airflow is nifty, and useful.

Cons: MY only con has been the space inside the front panel and using a CPU AIO cooler. I saw one other review mention this, and without manually unscrewing, moving, drilling and reattaching the HDD bays, a 360mm AIO radiator will displace the HDD bays. The product page indicates that there is space for a 360mm radiator at the front of the case. This looks like it will work because the section of the PSU shroud is actually removable there. But removing that section leaves ridges around the edges that impede the cooler fitting. Another brand of AIO may be slim enough to fit, i'm not sure. I thought I may be able to attach it to the top panel as an alternative but I have a full ATX mobo which means that there isn't enough space for the cooler to attach to the top. So out came the dremel, and I made it fit! This may not be a Con depending on your components, but if you plan to use a 360mm radiator then it may not actually fit out of the box.

Overall Review: Some reviews seem to have mentioned the poor airflow due to the solid front panel, but I have not experienced that. I have set up my CPU cooler (230 CFM) so that the radiator fans work to draw air in through the two small front apertures, but this might not work for everyone. This is the first case I've ever bought for the first PC I've ever built, and I would recommend it to anyone, anytime. The cable management was fun for a noob like me who likes it neat (having a fully modular PSU helped!), and I didn't have to resort to tons of cable ties either. I use a full-ATX Gigabyte Z370 motherboard, an RTX 2080, a 500gb M.2 SSD (saves on cables!), a 3tb HDD ( which fits thanks to dremel...) and a DeepCool Captain 360EX which was the only troublesome part of me using this case. Overall, I am stoked to have this case. It looks sharp and clean, the RGB is flattering not garish and it was easy to work in. I even got it at $79.99 with a $10 rebate!

Pros: -Tons of room -PSU shroud -tempered glass is beautiful -Price is very good -support for up a 360 rad at the front with push-pull capable -RGB strip included -finish -dust filters everywhere

Cons: Front airflow is my only complaint. It taxes the fans, they are louder with the front cover on. I have an h100i in the front with push pull set up bringing air into the case, just to pull as much air as possible. It's louder than it needs to be, and could be made better with some larger openings.

Overall Review: This case will show off your RGB light set up very well. The entire spade above the PAU shroud is just one massive open space with no drive bays at all. There is two SSD mounts behind the motherboard and two 3.5 drives in a bay farthest from the PSU under the shroud. You can buy more bays on phanteks website if you need more though.

Pros: - Easy cable management. Been a long time since I have built my own system, love the way you can hide cabling behind the motherboard, underneath, etc. - Really like the bottom mounted PSU slot. Another great cable management feature. - Lots of room for fans - Sturdy feeling case

Cons: - Can not top mount the radiator. This case came as part of a bundle that included the Corsair Hydro Series H100i V2 . I ended up mounting it in the front, which is fine, but it limits the case fan placement. I would have preferred to top mount the radiator and have intake fans in front. - You dont need a lot of instructions with the case, but the few that came with it and limited and poorly written.

Overall Review: Make sure you read that this does not have slots for DVD/CD/Blu-Ray drives.

Pros: literly everything about this case is sick it has tempered glass built in rgb lighting EXTREMLY nice cable management support for a bunch of fans and all fans have dust filters this is a awsome case 10/10

Cons: Absolutely none

Overall Review: This is the best case I have owend out of the other 4 I have had

Pros: Great cable management, very easy to build in, support for all sizes of radiators, built in fan controller works perfect, built in rgb and rgb strip that is included is bright and lights up your case very well. Tempered glass is beautiful and led lit logo is a nice feature. Full steel construction is great. The silent edition in the name is exactly correct, blocks most of the sound(considering I have 4 140mm fans, 1 120mm fan, and the 120mm cpu cooler fan).

Cons: Only con is the magnets on the rgb strip that comes with case are horrible, but its nothing some double sided tape cant fix.

Overall Review: I transferred my build from a nzxt s340 and as much as I loved that case I believe this one takes my top spot. Better cable management and more variety for radiator and fan support. For almost $20 cheaper than the s340 elite(including shipping) its worth the buy.
