Phanteks Eclipse P300A high airflow full-metal mesh design, compact ATX Mid-tower, 120mm black case fan

The p300a is a great, airflow focused, compact ATX case! I found the front mesh, tempered glass panel, buttons, etc. all to be very good quality and the case looks great. The build was fairly smooth with a few small quirks:1) I had to remove the rear exhaust fan to seat the motherboard properly in place. The fan is almost directly on top of the rear I/O and my motherboard has a heatsink and small 40mm right there as well. Once the motherboard is fully installed, then the fan could be reinstalled without any issues.2) The power supply space is a little tight. My power supply is 150mm long. I had to partially uninstall the HDD cage and rotate it out of the way to get the power supply in place.3) There is one "mystery" wire that I found running from the top/front I/O to behind the hard drive cage. I thought this was a relic from the RGB controller of the standard p300 case and was tempted to cut it out of the case, but did not. Once the build was finished and powered on, I saw that there is a small, white LED light strip just under the bottom edge of the tempered glass panel. This cable supplies power to that light.4) The front has fan mounts spaced for 120 or 140mm fans. I already had 140mm fans from my previous case. They installed fine, however, the actual cutouts for the fan blades are sized for 120mm fans and roughly 20% of the blade area for my 140mm fans was blocked. I cut the openings larger using a Dremel. This was absolutely not necessary, but made me feel better about the setup.I bought this case to replace a massive (by comparison) fractal define r4, and couldn't be happier. Much better airflow, and the system is quieter than it was in the fractal case since better airflow means the fans don't have to run as fast to cool the system.

I purchased mine at an inflated price (99usd) and I still love it. Its got great airflow and a beautiful design. I like having the half window too, who needs to stare at their drive bays and PSU? The compact design means its one of the smallest full ATX cases on the market. The case feels solid when fully put together, good luck finding another case at this price range (60usd normally) with the same level of quality.Cons: The front does not fit 140mm fans correctly. Their airflow is partly obscured by metal. 120mm is what it's made for. The top fan slot is barely high enough to clear the motherboard. Most motherboards will have the CPU power plugged in there so you might have to push down on the cables to get anything to fit. The thumb screws on the panels are slightly annoying but not as bad as others say. The drive bays have almost no access to fresh air. Just a tiny hole where they plug in from the front. I'm afraid to look at my HDD temps.

I was really surprised by the quality of the case for its price! And, it fit my build just right! What really surprised me was the fact that's Metal and has Tempered Glass as it's viewing side, not some plastic, which is awesome! I got the mesh version, and it works great for me!As for noise complaints, I haven't had an issue! Mine is quiet, almost too quiet! It worried me at first that it wasn't running but it actually is! I didn't have any missing parts, everything was in good condition, the manual gave good information, and I would certainly recommend this to another! (Just a heads up though, you'll want a 150mm PSU, it only has 200mm space down there!!)

This is fantastic value for how much you're paying.Pros:- Great build quality, feels premium- Size is smaller than most ATX cases, but doesn't feel too small- Preinstalled motherboard standoffs, nice to have. Saves time, makes installation easy- Lots of options for drive installation, easy to use and makes installation go very smoothly.- Good airflow with mesh front panel, nothing feels closed off or choked for air anywhere. Feels very open.Cons:- VERY cramped holes next to the motherboard tray. Not a big issue with smaller cables, but this requires you to weave the 24-pin motherboard power cable at an angle with the cable all the way up the back to properly plug in the cable, otherwise there's not enough room to plug it in. Took me a while to figure it out.- No instructions on how to uninstall and reinstall the pcie expansion slot bracket. For experienced builders this likely won't be an issue, but for me who is building for the first time with this case, it proved to be very confusing how to get it back on. This is likely me being dumb though, so take it with a grain of salt.Overall very happy with this purchase. Fantastic price for a fantastic quality product.
