Phanteks Eclipse P400A

Good product in general with good finishes and good equipment.
Well designed for the cable management with many passages, scratch pads and enough space between the door and the back of the wall.
I regret however the little space available above the motherboard under the ceiling plate: you can just install 2 fans, but the watercooling radiator doesn't fit, I had to put mine in the front.

From quality like a Phanteks P300 but with 3 fans in front. The front is grid-shaped and also has dust filter function. This makes front open and has very good airflow.

Very good enclosure with a very quiet fan. The cable management is excellent. The sheet thickness at the rear fan mounting is wafer thin, (compared to the Enthoo Pro). Only the gods and Phanteks know why there is no fan in the back. If you install a fan in the back, in my case an Arctic P12 PWM, the temperature drops by over 10 degrees.

What can I say? Its a great case! Got everything you'd expect from a premium case, very easy to build inside, and now I'm just repeating myself from the pros but yeah, just fuckin buy it.

Unfortunately if you install an AIO you lose the possibility to put 4 additional hard disks. I don't know yet if this also compromises the 2 hard drives hidden under the plate.
However, if you are looking for a case that can cool your components well. It's a piece of cake. I personally lost 10°C on my CPU overclocker without changing anything else. Well, I have 2 fans out. One at the back and one at the top.
I strongly recommend

I accidentally chose the wrong 'color', and that means that my case had no fans. My mistake, Digitec could have described it better though.

Loads of air intakes, but when looking through the side window after 2-3 months of use there is quite a lot of dust visible already. Swings and roundabouts I guess.
I'd buy again.

Very good case. Despite good airflow very quiet. Plenty of space for cable management. The gap between the bottom of the case and the cover over the PSU is very tight, I almost couldn't get my PSU in.

Unfortunately, I discovered with horror during the assembly that it is impossible to put a 360mm ventirad on the front panel without having to remove the HDD cage, something that is not specified in the product description (a negative point). So I end up with a bunch of cables at the back of the case.
But generally speaking, I'm very happy with the case, but I regret a bit to have taken this model and not another one after my recent and sad discoveries...

Great tower with good airflow, and enough room to install the GPUs of the moment.

A super enclosure, which also has a nice illumination of the fans at the front. It is very spacious, even the longest graphics cards have room in it. The PC stays very cool, even during longer gaming sessions with high load. The cable management can be done wonderfully, the built-in Velcro fasteners help a lot. I was also impressed by the slots for the SSD and HDD hard disks. The hard drives are easy to install and fairly easy to replace.
Unfortunately, due to the fans at the front, it is not possible to install a drive (not so tragic, but a point to mention). Unfortunately, the lighting can only be controlled via the buttons on the case and not via the PC.
All in all, an elegant, beautifully illuminated case.

It is an enclosure that is worth its price.
I did a parallel build with a 50. enclosure of a similar design. With Phanteks, you don't just pay more, you really get more.

Beautiful and elegant. One of the best cases I have ever bought and used.

Not great quality but does the job. Plan to buy a controller for the leds which revert to the original configuration after each start.
very good box

Very good for the price, top workmanship and looks very classy.
The case is quite nice and good to build inside only the construction is not too high quality the mesh has a slight dent inside. And be careful with the height of the cpu fan, it's not 16 cm anymore.
Great case but the back panel is really annoying to put back it and rarely lines up unless someone else helps me.
