Review on Phanteks Mid Tower PH EC400ATG_DBK01 Tempered Digital RGB by Philip Berry

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Thoughtful design, beautiful finish

I had no questions about the quality or layout of the case. When putting it together, everything seemed very well thought out and I could tell that this design evolved over several iterations. The fans are INCREDIBLY quiet and overall this is a great case. The instructions could be a bit more detailed. The longest part of the build was just trying to figure out how D-RGB cables work, so I'll save you some time: If you want the system to drive LEDs, connect "M/B D-RGB " on. cable to the motherboard. If you want the button on the case to control the LEDs, connect it with the appropriate cable from the front labeled "D-RGB FAN". for easy assembly - Very easy to assemble for beginners - Drive bays are easy and out of the way - Overall very nice aesthetics - Very quiet fans - Fantastic thermal performance right out of the box - Includes lots of spare screws and zip ties Cons (all very minor): - Fan cables could be a bit longer - instructions could be a bit more detailed - screws are not the best quality, but ok. Didn't have any issues with them, just noticed some of them were a bit rough.

Pros
  • Computer case
Cons
  • Hard to say
