Review on Phanteks PH-EC416PTG_WT Eclipse P400 Steel ATX Mid Tower Case Glacier White by Raymond Iglesias

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Gorgeous case! Definitely recommend.

Bought for use in RGB assembly as it is a great case with large side window. The case is very well made and you can tell that as soon as you open the box. Surprisingly, it still has 2 disadvantages that I want to draw your attention to. 1. The top of the case is very close to the motherboard and this causes problems when trying to install a heatsink on it due to the RAM. The only solution to the problem is to install a radiator in the front. There is only about 1 inch of space at the front, which allows air to rise and exit. I was worried it would cause temperature issues so I tested it. The difference was almost 9 degrees Celsius, and that's a very big difference. The solution to this problem is to use a push-pull configuration on your radiator to increase static pressure. I don't really care as I usually do. I'd like to start with push/pull first, but I'd like to warn you. I'm using a Kraken x62, but it's not the one in the photo. 2. Handles used to fasten a stained glass window. There is a rubber bushing on the case, which is located under the handle. I didn't know about it and one of the bushes disappeared, never to be seen again. It's not noticeable after installation but it will always bother me as I have a little OCD problem. Overall this is a really great case and I would definitely recommend it.
