Phanteks P400A Eclipse
The P400 was a very good case when it was released in 2016. It’s still a good case in 2019. The P400A is an improvement, and a better enclosure, especially for the price. If you have a very low powered system, value the silence that comes with fewer fans and you detest RGB then go with the standard version tested here.

The Phanteks Eclipse P400A, is a nice evolutionary update to an old classic, it packs in better airflow, some solid RGB fans, and a good build experience, but does little to innovate outside of that front panel.

The Phanteks Eclipse P400A offers up some impressive RGB functionality and is a fun case to build inside but it also leaves a lot to be desired.

As far as the front panel, it’s a vast improvement over the P400 we reviewed years ago. It’s simple, there are no extra layers of filtration stuffed in, and it allows both air and RGB lighting effects through freely. Using a fine metal mesh as a combined front panel and filter is good. It won’t stop dust as effectively as a “real” filter, but given a choice we much prefer a single layer of perforated metal to a decorative mesh panel backed by a foam or fabric filter.

Das bekannte und damals schon solide Grundgerüst des P400 leistet sich auch beim P400A kaum Schnitzer. Der Innenraum strotzt zwar nicht vor Features bildet aber eine gute Basis für moderne Systeme. Das Case ist relativ geräumig, aufgeräumt und flexibel...
