Phanteks Eclipse P400S Silent Edition with Tempered Glass

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!

So, I originally purchased the NZXT S340 Elite, this is a wonderful case to look at, very minimalistic, I installed everything and had a very low groaning noise coming from the case, i narrowed the noise to the top case fan, I tried several different fans and different size fans, but I could not get rid if the noise, it was driving me nuts, I had no other option other than to return the NZXT and go with what I thought was the 2nd best mid tower case.I installed everything into the Phanteks case (P400s Tempered Glass Edition) and everything went smoothly, turned the PC on set the fan curves with the MSI software, and this thing is so quite, its unbelievable.The cable management is on par with the NZXT, I actually prefer the grommets rather than the bar thingy in the NZXT for feeding cables through the case.I had 1 slight issue with this case, the motherboard side panel was a pain to get off, and even worse to get back on, i initially couldn't figure out what the problem was then noticed the bottom center slider on the panel was bent downwards, I straightened it back up and slid on nice and easy, there are lots of plusses with this case over the NZXT.1. Front mounted fan control (3 speeds)2. Integrated RGB, with an included RGB strip.3. As simple as it sounds, a re-set switch.4. Tinted glass side panel.5. 2 top fan mounts.6. Included 2 fan dust filters.7. Included 2 fan covers if not using top fans.8. Sliders tp position the rear fan, rather than a fixed point.One thing I did not like, there was no cut out on the bottom PSU to pass the GPU cable through on the front side, I disliked this so much I took out my dremmel and cut one in, cable management looks very much better.Don't get me wrong, if I did not have had the weird noise from the NZXT case I would have kept it, it's a great mid tower case, just wasn't for me, now did I say I thought ths was the 2nd best case after the NZXT Elite? Boy was I wrong, this case is fantastic, quieter than the NZXT, aesthetically as nice as the NZXT, more intregated features, more accessories.Buy it you will love this case.One last thing, I will miss my puck :-(.

This case is amazing. What I liked:1. There is a ton of room to work in this case. With no drive cages or DVD bays, you are left with an empty and clean space to work with.2. The cable management was a snap. There are plenty of cable routing points and a nice space to tie down cables in the back. The SSD and HDD trays are in the back and help with the cable routing. The PSU shroud enhances the look and gives you a good place to hide excess cables.3. The two built in fans are pretty quiet and the fan control is nice with 3 speeds to let you adjust to your need at the time.4. There are filters at every entry point for air cutting down on dust significantly.5. This case is quiet compared to the other (budget) cases I've built in. It has sound dampening material on the back and the top and the glass is thick and helps lessen the sound as well. You can hear the fans when run at top speed but it doesn't sound like a train going through your house. When i put my headphones on i can't hear any sound even with the fans on high and my graphics card fans running.6. The airflow (after buying a third fan) was great. My GTX1060 never gets above 65C and my I7 6700 never gets above 54C.7. Totally subjective but the included RGB strip was a nice plus. The strip is magnetic and mounts easily in the case and the lighting control lets you change the color or effect in a snap.What I didn’t like:1. Being totally nitpicky. I would have liked one more fan included because I had to buy one to get what I felt like was enough air flow.2. There isn’t enough room for a radiator at the top. I don’t use one so it was no problem for me but someone might hit that wall if they don’t notice the clearance issue.Very happy customer and I would recommend this to anyone not wanting to spend a fortune but not wanting to compromise much on features.
