Phanteks Eclipse P350X Compact EATX Mid-tower Case, Tempered Glass, Digital RGB

First off - I find this to be a VERY attractive case. The built in RGB is tastefully done - not like that brash "in your face" disco style that some others do. The built in addressable RGB controller means you have everything you need to run moving patterns without any software, and it daisy chains out to run additional rgb accessories you might want to add. It can also connect to any ARGB motherboards so the case can run off that if you'd like - but be aware there are 2 major types of RGB: Addressable (3 pin) and not (4 pin)... The addressable 3 pin style is the newer tech that allows "moving" display, while the older 4 pin style can only change in solid colors. Many companies like Asus advertise their "Aura Sync" RGB features - but even that comes both ways and the 2 are not directly compatible with each other. IE - my Asus Z390 Prime-A motherboard advertised "Aura RGB", but it uses the 4 pin style that cannot connect to the P350X case. Not a deal breaker for me, and if anything it's the motherboard that has the older technology.The case build and materials are better than their $69 price suggests, but the screws don't go in quite as smoothly as a $200 case would - but in reality, how many times are you really adding and removing pci cards and the like? Again, hardly a deal breaker.In my opinion, this case is designed for air cooled systems - while you could fit a 240mm AIO in front, I think a 280mm AIO might be tight, and the bottom "basement" goes right to the front so anything longer will not fit. Likewise, although you can fit some fans up top, there isn't enough clearance for an AIO. And while I guess you could mount a 120mm AIO in the exhaust fan area, I doubt that would work well.But again - this case was designed for air, and in my humble opinion a good air cooler performs as well as an AIO and will run trouble-free for much, much longer. With that in mind, be aware this case only comes with (1) 120mm pwm fan mounted at the front - you are really going to want to add at least 1 if not 2 or more fans to this system (in addition to the cpu cooler). That pushes the actual price up towards $99 which puts it in direct competition to the Be Quiet Pure Base 500DX and the Cooler Master H500, both of which come with more fans out of the box. I seriously considered the 500DX as it is very similar in appearance to the P350X (and has the same airflow design, if not a tad better), but it is nearly 2" wider which makes it look a bit "squatty" to me. The H500 is a great budget airflow case, but I was looking for something different from the "rgb fans up front" look. But you probably couldn't go wrong with any of those at the same basic total price.Building my system in this case took all of maybe 30 minutes - it was very easy and there's plenty of space for cables and wiring. The front leds connect through a clever pin contact system so there are no wires attached to the front (which you need to remove in order to locate the hidden parts box that is stored in the front bottom 3.5 drive trays). It's well thought out, with attached Velcro strips in the back side for cable ties. There is also a removable dust filter under the power supply area, which is designed to mount fan down since the "basement" enclosure has no other source of air.All in all I am very satisfied with this case - it looks great, was easy to build and the materials seem upscale for the price point. Just be aware you really need to add a few fans to it.

My uncle dropped my case trying to help me during my move out. He dropped it from waist height. Though to my surprise, the tempered glass was completely untouched, while the scratches aren't that noticeable. I would give the case 5 stars for that alone.#Pros:- The tempered glass is quite strong. It's easy to open that side if you want to tinker.- I love the embedded RGB light streaks. Lightnings are very subtle, and you can change them on the fly. They definitely add some flair to the case especially in dark environments.- For the price, hell yeah, it's a big value. It's almost half the price of any other RGB case. Not to mention, it includes 2 dust filters for FREE!- Matte coat finish gives the case an illusion that it's a high end product.- Airflow is sick. You can install up to 5 fans, and I do just that with Noctua fans.They come with 1 Phanteks pre-installed upfront. Though, I move it to the back to install 4 more Noctua for stronger airflow.You cannot hear a thing even on high workload with heavy graphic games.- It is roomy inside the case. My graphic card is a dual-fan Radeon RX 580. But there's still room to maneuver and add some decorations.- They include 2 brackets for SSD. Huge for future upgrades!- HDD can be installed when you take off the front panel. Super convenient.#Cons:- Cable management is bad compared to the 400X. It's a bit jammed.- There's no reset button. You can hold the power button for few seconds for a hard reset.- 3-pin RGB slot. It's odd since motherboard market offers 4-pin and 5-pin a lot.- Light streaks give you a taste of RGB. You'll become a RGB hoe.The case is 11/10 for the price, value, and functionality. Would buy again in a heartbeat. Would recommend this brand over the big guys.

This is possibly one of the nicest cases I've bought in the past 20 years. It's not extremely heavy however it's solidly built. The window is large and fully reveals all of the special bits you've assembled inside with a tidy presentation. the air flow capabilities of the case are healthy for the overall size of the unit. The only things I could possibly find fault with are that the LED accents are non-addressable being a cheaper option and that the top fan mounting area sits close to the mother board mounting location leaving no space for a radiator or deeper bodied fans. The positives are that you can mount a 1x120/140mm radiator at the rear, a 2x120/140mm radiator at the front, the power supply is mounted at the bottom of the case and cables can be routed in a nearly invisible fashion allowing excellent air flow, there is a serviceable filter on the bottom of the case to help slow dust build up in the power supply, there are screen filters on the front cover, headset and USB connections are easily accessible at the top of the case, and the case has a simple and clean aesthetic.
