Review on Phanteks PH EC500ATG_DWT01 Full Metal Mid Tower Digital RGB by Petr Webster

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Phanteks rules for external components

No point in going into a detailed review, this is Phanteks top case. I've had many Phanteks cases over the years. This one (the white version from DRGB) is my favorite so far with only one complaint. This case is easy to install and well designed and built. Only one connector on the front for power (DRGB version) which is great unless you need a reset switch. I didn't know my M/B had a reset switch. Included GPU anti-sag bracket that isn't visible (brilliant). A typical Fantex is just a wonderful body. Well, as for my only complaint, the included 140mm argb fans are LOUD, oooh, like a jet engine at full RPM. If you let them run at full speed, you will get annoyed very quickly. Even on the lowest level, they are very audible. In the case of $149.00, you can get more. I have kits of cheap Chinese Argb fans that are much quieter. Although they let a lot of air through. In the lowest settings, the airflow is optimal, everything runs cool. Pros: nice case, nice design, good build and design, easy assembly, integrated GPU anti-sag mount, Cons - only one: case fans are too loud, even with noisy fans. , I highly recommend this case, it's definitely one of the best cases

Pros
  • High quality construction
Cons
