Phanteks P400 Eclipse Tempered Glass Chassis Review

Complete System

This P400 doesn’t really detract from the usual chassis structure, so it’s pretty straight forward to get your hardware installed. First-time builders certainly won’t be put off by the layout. Of course, things are super easy thanks to the hidden HDD bays. There’s a huge amount of space here, so extra-long graphics cards and any cooling hardware can be installed with ease.

There’s more room available than any graphics card could ever need. Even the biggest enthusiast cards on the market will have room to spare. Obviously, this is good news for those fitting radiators in the front of the chassis.

Cable routing is fantastic on this chassis. However, a vertical passthrough from the PSU area to the GPU would have been nice, as cables have to trail over or under the card.

Of course, there’s a lot of room for a large CPU cooling tower. However, those height adjustable screw holes at the back should also ease the mounting of any AIO coolers too.

With the side panel back in place, you get a fairly uncompromised view of your hardware. This means neat cable routing will really pay off, as it’s all on show here. Spotted the LED strip yet? It’s included in the box and mounts using magnets, so you can place it almost anywhere within the chassis.

Lights out, still a nice view of the interior.

You’re dazzled with ambient lighting once powered on. Of course, you also get the same colour on the power button up top, which is neat. Simply hit the LED button on the front of the chassis to change colours and more, or even turn the lights off altogether.
