Phanteks (PH-EC360ATG_DBK01) Eclipse P360A Ultra-fine Performance Mesh, Mid-Tower case, Tempered Glass, Digital-RGB Lighting, Black

Excuse the cable management; I just built this today.This case is a blessing for 80 dollars. I cut a cable from my old pc case and rushed to get another case only to realized the cable was not essential. I shrugged and wanted to upgrade anyway.Where was this case when I started building 4.5 years ago? The ease of building cannot be overstated coupled with the built-it cable management tools. I used to loathe cable management. This case changed me. The RGB fans are the topping on the cake. There was no reason for them to go above and beyond with beautiful options and colors. Not to mention that the air flow is much better than you would think without being too loud.The most underrated part is that the front panel parts that go on the mother board have been simplified so you no longer groan when a microscopic cable falls pathetically from a brittle peg. A master class in design. Great room for cables. Get this now be for they bump up the price like with the Lian Li case.Caveats/notes/peeves: The cables connecting to the HD from the PSU is awkward, but isn't to inconvenient. The top fan region is noticeably larger than the back fan area, but mangable. This case is perfect for those who won't remove the 2 front fans and have other fans of their own. Psu is a little bit of a scary squeeze. Use a screw driver for the left and right pc covers; your thumbs will thank you.After all I said, I would recommend as a must have if you budget for a PC case is less than 100 dollars. Incredible.

The media could not be loaded. ** UPDATE **Phanteks customer support is top tier. I contacted Phanteks customer support, explained the issue and provided a video. They shipped me a replacement front panel the next day. This was my 2nd interaction with Phanteks customer support and the 2nd time they have proven to be very accommodating.I will say, even the replacement has a little play in the front mesh, which is not present in the white version I have. However, unlike the previous two panels, there are no creases or dents and the panel looks great.** Original review **Firstly, I love Phanteks cases, including this one, there are 6 PC's with Phanteks cases in my house.I received two black P360a's with a similar issue with the front mesh.The 1st one I received was in a damaged box, I thought the issue was due to the box being damaged. The replacement arrived the next day with no sign of external damage, however it has the same issue but less pronounced.Basically, there is too much play in the metal mesh about 2/3 the way down from the top. There are also sharp dents in this area as well, near the crease where the mesh is bent to form the front.I was able to flatten the dents in the 2nd case and it mostly looks acceptable, but when you look at it at any angle, the unevenness of the mesh is apparent.The white P360a I have does not have this issue, there is no play and the mesh feels solid, its even and looks awesome.I will be contacting Phanteks to see if they can send me a front panel without this flaw. I would return the 2nd case as well and hope I get one without the flaw, but I'm afraid I'd just get another with this issue or get flagged by Amazon for too many returns or whatever.

Excellent little case for the price. Comes with a built-in RGB controller which isn't so much a big deal these days but was a selling point for me as my motherboard is a few years old and only has the old, 12V non-addressable RGB headers. Comes stock with two ARGB fans in the front, I filled it out by buying a three pack of the same model (PH-F120SK) fan and it looks great. The RGB presets are decent and allow you to adjust color and pattern independently. The built-in RGB strip below the glass is subtle and looks great.Feels a little on the flimsy side when building in it but completely reasonable for the price. Has captive thumbscrews on both the front and rear panels which is a rare convenience even on much more expensive cases. Comes with several 2.5" drive mounting points on the back of the motherboard tray and two 3.5" hard drive bays with tool-less sleds. It has great airflow with a plain mesh front panel with no additional filters. This might be a problem if you don't clean your PC semi-regularly or if it's in a really dusty area, but the mesh on the panel is fine enough that it will work as a decent filter. Also has a magnetic top filter which is a nice touch.Overall definite recommend.

First, would like to start with very happy with the case. It looks nice, the RGB is nice, it is a nice case. But, do have a couple of small cons.1. Only fits a 120 mm fan in back and the fan pushes up against the motherboard's ports.2. You can only use a 280 mm AIO if going to top mount the radiator.3. The power supply area is a bit cramp to fit the extra length of cable.Also, would prefer to see a better filter on front of the case than on the top. Since top mounted fans typically blow out of the case, the filter is not truly needed, and it is a bit on the tacky side since it just sits on top of the case.Do want to reiterate that I am quite happy with the case and for the cost it is 100% worth the purchase.NOTE: I bought the vertical mount kit for my video card it is high quality, but, it will block any PCI slots on the PC, so you will only be able to use the video card. Not a big deal for me, but if you need to use more than one slot, do not get the vertical mount kit. If they would have made it to move 1 slot up in the back you could of at least had access to the bottom, but this design your expansion slots are 100% blocked.Linus TechTips did a video on this case, you should check it out, but pretty much states the issues I listed above.So very close to 5 star rating, just a couple very small tweaks and it will 100% deserve a 5 star rating. I hope the manufacturer gets these notes. Would love to see the next version with these issues fixed!
