Phanteks P400 Eclipse Tempered Glass Chassis Review

Phanteks have created many truly incredible chassis over the years. Phanteks is a respected and trusted brand name, loved by many systems builders around the world. With that in mind, I’m very excited to be taking a look at one of their latest chassis, the Eclipse. The P400 Eclipse comes equipped with a bunch of cool features. It’s got multi-colour LED ambient lighting, a large side panel window, water cooling support, a built-in fan controller and much more.
