Review on Phanteks PH EC500ATG_DWT01 Full Metal Mid Tower Digital RGB by Aaron Richardson

Phanteks knocked it out of the park with this Airflow case. Compared to my old NZXT Switch 810, it's very compact. At the front there is room for a 420mm monobloc Arctic Liquid Freezer II. Snug but still fit. The tempered glass panel attaches with magnets and opens with two hinges - no screws required! The solid plate has captive thumbscrews. There is plenty of space for cable management behind the mainboard tray. It also comes with parts to mount the GPU vertically, although you'll still need to purchase a PCI-E adapter cable. The three pre-installed 140 mm RGB fans do a great job. With some adjustments, you can adjust the curve to reduce its noise. I went ahead and ordered three additional 140mm Phanteks RGB fans to be used as top and rear exhaust. The internal slide-out panels are the only thing standing in the way of this case. You can still get a very clean build with some extensions. Eyelets with rubber inserts might have worked better. Basically the case above.
