Phanteks Eclipse (PH-EC300PTG_BK) Steel ATX Mid Tower Tempered Glass Case, Black

I installed a working system that was originally in a open air test jig. First. the only issue was no MB standoff for the middle hole in the middle row. I had to install a spacer. The third row of standoffs had to be insulated as they lined up with some circuit board runs on the very back edge. I don't think I have ever had a motherboard where all the mounting was 100% so no problem. The MB standoffs were preinstalled, nice. there were no problems mounting the semi-modular power supply and running cables. The hard drive caddies are very nice. I have 3.5 to 2.5 adapters I had to use with the test jig. They fit exactly into the caddies and the cables were easy to connect. When I was searching for a case I saw problems with the I/O slot blanks that were pressed and did not break off nicely. That is not a problem here. The slots blanks are individually held in with a nice knurled screw. I had an extra fan I installed in the top where there is an air filter held on the out side by a magnet frame. The RGB LED control works OK with the installed glass side panel edge light. I plan to install additional RGB lights and a flashy CPU fan. I will update later. You can't go wrong with this case.

Awhile back I ordered a 3900X that took longer than expected to arrive, so I bought a 3600 to tide me over. Once the 3900X was delivered, I had a nice little 3600 just begging to be used. I figured I would throw together a few cheaper things in and build a second system without putting much money into it. Main thing I needed was a case and I didn't want to drop $100+ on something that wasn't going to be my main PC. I started looking for cases under $60 and this one was the standout case. I looked a page after page on Amazon and kept coming back to this one. It simply looks great and the price was perfect.I don't mind that the RGB isn't addressable. You can cycle through the colors with a press of a button on the top. I like having two USB 3 ports on top. The tempered glass side panel gives it a nice feel of quality. It was very odd to me that there was no Reset switch when connecting the front panel / IO to the motherboard. I kept looking for a Reset wire only to discover there is no Reset button on the case. If that ever becomes a problem, I can hook something and get around that.You get one fan with this case, so if you want to increase your air flow, you will need to buy a few more fans. Heat so far hasn't been a factor, so even though I would have liked to have a big fan or two up front, for the price, I don't mind it being an almost bare-bones case. I can add fans later and there is plenty of room to add some big fans when the need arises.Instructions are small and limited but for a basic case, you don't really need them.

case is great for the money, the glass side is well put on and alot better than plastic. steel is a decent gauge will be workable/weldable for future mods. note the standoffs installed already dont fit standerd mobo screws i almost stripped one till i looked at the box of screws. the only things that sucked with this case was my on-board heat sink was to big to mount my 140mm rad on top so im blowing hot air in the case from the front and obviously theres no room for a 5.25 drive other than that it not a bad case and i been looking to get rid of my bulky level 10 gt. everything fit good including my 1060 turbo gpu. the one thing with this case is its mostly metal so use fan screw bushings or something or itll hum like mines doing till they get here... the case has a connection for phateks leds to work with the side led too but they are limited settings so ill use regular rgb strips. and this will fit a atx board tight but fits.. also theres room for 2 ssd's on the back side witch was a huge plus to me as i already had to get rid of one storage hdd. this case is a good deal for $60

I got this case for my first build. It was a breeze to put together, not too many issues. Cable management was a little tight, but it came out pretty well in the end. Has space for 4 fans, which provides enough flow of air. My CPU doesn't get over about 50c when gaming. The glass on the side is crystal clear and tinted slightly black. Provides a nice viewing of the interiorThe cons:GET THE VENTAILATED FRONT PANEL. 1. Its cheaper 2. Your PC will get significantly more airflow. My CPU cooler radiator is mounted on the front of the case with the fans on the other side. With the solid front, my fans got virtually no air. With the ventilated option, air comes straight through. Much better with cooler temps.Pretty tight cable management, but certainly do-able. I would recommend getting a modular power supply to save space.My GPU and PCI-E attachments had to be shoved in a little uncomfortably to fit in the slots on the back. I'm not sure if this is common among PC's (this is my first build). Make sure you go at an angle and then slide them into place. This was the most nerve-wracking part of the build (mostly because my GPU was half the cost of the whole build.

TL;DR- Buy it alreadyGreat compact budget case with more than workable airflow, great cable management and understated looks. I bought this case to replace the one that came with my prebuilt PC. I wanted something that would allow for better airflow, more efficient use of space, and classier, more understated looks. When the case arrived, I began the process of rebuilding my PC in it. The building experience was very easy, with the cable management being very easy using both the large power supply basement and the cable routing channels. As you can see from the photos, I was able to fit a 240mm AIO in the front to cool my OCd i7 6700 and a 120mm AIO in the rear to cool my GTX 1070. Thermals are better than in my old case, and fan noise is more than tolerable. The integrated RGB controller also allows the intuitive control of Phanteks RGB strips (of which I have one) or the ability to turn off the lights entirely. The power button is nice and tactile, and the RGB lighting surrounding it is a nice touch. Dust filters on the front and top allows for me to occupy all fan slots without having to worry about the case getting furry.

No es un chasis premium pero es bastante bueno, los materiales son de calidad (lo que se espera de un panthek), no tiene apariencia de gabinete barato, relación precio calidad es bastante bueno. altamente recomendable

Coming from an old-style computer case with more emphasis on utility than looks, I can't say enough good things here. Compared to my old CM Elite 431, it weighs about half as much while being just as sturdy. The cable management channels on the back work great and keep the view through the glass very tidy.The tempered glass panel is very secure despite featuring ~30s tool-free removal. There is no expansion card on the market too big for the main bay of this case, but if you plan on water-cooling fitting a radiator over 140mm is not really possible unless you abandon the front panel. The PCI-E slot covers are designed to be removed and replaced easily without damage, unlike older punch-out designs. The dust filters are also a step up, magnetic on top and in neat slots for the others. The accessories kit and manual come in a small box mirroring the 3.5" drive format, for easy storage in an unoccupied HDD bay which are not visible with the case assembled and can easily accommodate a standard tray of replacement computer screws if you own one. There are standoffs for 2 removable 2.5" SSD trays mounted behind the motherboard panel, but the case only comes with a tray for one.My only complaint is that the manual is in a box inside one of the tool-less removable HDD trays, which I couldn't figure out how to remove and ended up unscrewing the HDD cage frame to extract. I also strongly recommend you install all your power cables before any 3.5" drives, because it is very difficult to add cables to a modular PSU unless you can reach through from the front of the case.

Difícil encontrar una caja de estas características y calidades a un precio contenido. Poco o nada que envidiar a productos similares bastante mas caros.Frontal completamente metálico que se quita y pone con suma facilidad. Buena gestión del cableado. Personalmente me gusta la ubicación y disposición de las dos bahías para los discos de 3.5"/2.5", quedan completamente independientes. Así mismo son un puntazo las dos bahías laterales para discos de 2.5", eso sí, la caja solo viene con una base adaptadora, así que para usar las dos bahías se necesitaría comprar otra base.En cuanto a refrigeración, yo la tengo con tres ventiladores de 120 mm. (2 frontales y 1 trasero), con temperatura ambiente de casi 26º, la lectura de temperatura "sys" que me da el sensor de la placa es de 28º.La caja viene con todos los accesorios y tornilleria necesarios, además de un ventilador de 120 mm. muy silencioso.Si buscas una caja de calidad y precio contenido, esta Phanteks es una compra segura, eso sí, siempre que pases de una unidad óptica CD/DVD interna.

Received with tampered glass completely broken.

I absolutely love this case.The design is great with really good cable management, I have a really clean looking build with all the cables tucked away, if I had a criticism it would be that some of the cable slots around the motherboard mounts are really tight, everything slotted in to place but it felt like there was barely a mm to spare.There are two mounts at the back of the case for SSDs or 2.5in HDDs and room for two 3.5in drives, all hidden out of the way nicely.Airflow seems to be good, with the front and top fan positions having decent dust filters, the case doesn't get hot, I've maxed out on case fans. The case comes with one fan, though I swapped it out immediately so no idea what it is like.The glass side panel is a magnet for finger prints but is good quality and shows plenty of innards if you're into that sort of thing.My primary reason for buying the case was it's 400mm depth, couldn't seem to find many cases of that depth, this one fit the bill perfectly.I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this case.
