Phanteks Eclipse (PH-EC300PTG_BK) Steel ATX Mid Tower Tempered Glass Case

Awhile back I ordered a 3900X that took longer than expected to arrive, so I bought a 3600 to tide me over. Once the 3900X was delivered, I had a nice little 3600 just begging to be used. I figured I would throw together a few cheaper things in and build a second system without putting much money into it. Main thing I needed was a case and I didn't want to drop $100+ on something that wasn't going to be my main PC. I started looking for cases under $60 and this one was the standout case. I looked a page after page on Amazon and kept coming back to this one. It simply looks great and the price was perfect.I don't mind that the RGB isn't addressable. You can cycle through the colors with a press of a button on the top. I like having two USB 3 ports on top. The tempered glass side panel gives it a nice feel of quality. It was very odd to me that there was no Reset switch when connecting the front panel / IO to the motherboard. I kept looking for a Reset wire only to discover there is no Reset button on the case. If that ever becomes a problem, I can hook something and get around that.You get one fan with this case, so if you want to increase your air flow, you will need to buy a few more fans. Heat so far hasn't been a factor, so even though I would have liked to have a big fan or two up front, for the price, I don't mind it being an almost bare-bones case. I can add fans later and there is plenty of room to add some big fans when the need arises.Instructions are small and limited but for a basic case, you don't really need them.

The media could not be loaded. Extremely happy with this case. Its simple and clean design makes it attractive for me. Its relatively compact, being just able to fit a standard ATX motherboard. The tempered glass is a great feature, especially at this price point. Cable management nice and easy. I added some led strips to bring the case to life and I have to say I'm very pleased. Excellent choice for the casual PC builder and for anyone on a budget if you try to catch this when its $60. Only cons I can think of is it only comes with one fan in the rear, and has limited water-cooling support if your into that.

case is great for the money, the glass side is well put on and alot better than plastic. steel is a decent gauge will be workable/weldable for future mods. note the standoffs installed already dont fit standerd mobo screws i almost stripped one till i looked at the box of screws. the only things that sucked with this case was my on-board heat sink was to big to mount my 140mm rad on top so im blowing hot air in the case from the front and obviously theres no room for a 5.25 drive other than that it not a bad case and i been looking to get rid of my bulky level 10 gt. everything fit good including my 1060 turbo gpu. the one thing with this case is its mostly metal so use fan screw bushings or something or itll hum like mines doing till they get here... the case has a connection for phateks leds to work with the side led too but they are limited settings so ill use regular rgb strips. and this will fit a atx board tight but fits.. also theres room for 2 ssd's on the back side witch was a huge plus to me as i already had to get rid of one storage hdd. this case is a good deal for $60

I got this case for my first build. It was a breeze to put together, not too many issues. Cable management was a little tight, but it came out pretty well in the end. Has space for 4 fans, which provides enough flow of air. My CPU doesn't get over about 50c when gaming. The glass on the side is crystal clear and tinted slightly black. Provides a nice viewing of the interiorThe cons:GET THE VENTAILATED FRONT PANEL. 1. Its cheaper 2. Your PC will get significantly more airflow. My CPU cooler radiator is mounted on the front of the case with the fans on the other side. With the solid front, my fans got virtually no air. With the ventilated option, air comes straight through. Much better with cooler temps.Pretty tight cable management, but certainly do-able. I would recommend getting a modular power supply to save space.My GPU and PCI-E attachments had to be shoved in a little uncomfortably to fit in the slots on the back. I'm not sure if this is common among PC's (this is my first build). Make sure you go at an angle and then slide them into place. This was the most nerve-wracking part of the build (mostly because my GPU was half the cost of the whole build.
