Phanteks Eclipse G400A - we (kinda) like it

So no removable media support at all?

Is the ultra fine mesh going to be enough to remove dust?

Very interesting to see the different configurations to see how it affects airflow and cooling performance.

Glad they included a proper hard drive cage for 3.5 inch drives. Some of us still need that!

Nice but iterative rather than innovative.

I like it just wish they were a little bit more innovative.

You guys are going to ruin Christmas for me because my credit card is going to be maxed out.

Any case is going to look pretty amazing with that array of components placed inside.

I like the front cage speaker look concept

Nice amount of RGB just in case people dont realise it’s a gaming case.

Why are these things such dust magnets? I just dont get it.

All pretty standard but nicely done.

Back connector motherboards are the biggest change we’ve seen in years. Looking forward to seeing some clean looking builds.

Those standard case fans are pretty decent for the money.

James could make a cardboard box look like an awesome gaming PC.

Think if it included sound dampening wouldnt that mess with the airflow?

Quite funny having 7 slots in the back of a case when the GPU its going to take 4 of them.

For 84 quid and built in fans, lighting hub - really how much more can you ask for?

how would you compare ut against xt pro ultra ?

Fractal has pretty bad front panel acoustics is this case free of any of that? Do the fans generate about same type of noise when the front mesh is placed back on?

Mid-plate? Quality mid-wit marketing that. /s. 24mm clearance at the back of the mobo and a right-hand panel that doesn't like being shut; we'll be wanting as few cables as possible then. I've always thought mfrs should be more generous in that regard. It does look very nice in white though! The Sapphire 7900XTX comes with an anti-sag support; but the little pieces of rubber on it aren't secured with terribly good glue and fall off if you look at them. PSUs not suitable for GPUs that use 3xPCIE plugs; sounds like some folk are taking a bung from Ngreedia. I can go off folk who do that very quickly. The standard isn't broke, didn't need "mending", and certainly NOT how Ngreedia have gone about it. Back-connect support is wasted on me; but otherwise I'll add it to the "Take a Butchers" list. Nice one.

Great build that tbh James ❤

Love the build. Shame you didn’t go project zero however.

Phanteks G400a vs Cougar MX600 which one is better in terms of cooling, build quality and easy to clean?

Phanteks need some new designers in to come up with something new - this is so much like everything else, quite a few oversights too

not impressed, color me sad Phanteks

sag, short cabling, poor fitments and panels hard to fit back in place - guess its cheap and comes with fans. todays market I guess

well I dont really rate this as being OK< its really good for the price. at least they are using good materials

really worth it for the price point, at least its not like HYTE and bending everywhere

Great build quality for 90 quid, thats worth a lot, so many budget cases are so badly made now

I just bought a montech King, but i dont think this would have tempted me to buy it - its not bad at all, good in some parts and bad in others. but they need a bit of new ideas

£85 for this is brilliant value IMO

100euro in EU and its good value but I found it so ugly dont know why...

Will it fit Arctic liquid frezer 3 360 AIO on the top?

Is it available in Newegg or Amazon yet? Not seeing it there despite the videos on the reviews

👏👏👏

Weird about the radiator support, or lack of at the front. good info on the PSU too James, that would hurt me if I bought the case !

Sag central !

James your case reviews are the best on the net- coming to that conclusion now

Not really very much to say about this one - its just another budget case with issues

I like the mild tint, thats the perfect way to do a side panel without question

Finding it hard to even type a question or comment, - solid review on a well made, fairly budget case. The paintwork looked a bit blotchy to me, perhaps I need to wipe my glasses

Good hardware support but the lack of Rad support at the front seems like a massive oversight especially with EATX mobo support

Meh what a waste of 20 minutes

Really boring case

Another boring black box

That PCIE connections section was education, didnt know that with this case - why on earth are they using a PCI cable for power? thats mad !

Be sure to report the endless spam as you see it. Also let us know what you think of this new Phanteks case - worth the money? let us know in the comments.
