How to impress Greg with a Case: 1: Airflow 2: White 3: Nylon (Kink?) 4: Rubber (Kink ×2?) 5: Room for "activities" in the back 6: Provide lots of tiedowns (TripleKink) 7: Look like a stormtrooper
I just got one of these in the white. Absolutely gorgeous, easy to build in and best airflow I've seen, even when the panels are closed. I 100% recommend this case.
@@alexandrubalaban5266 Fractal compromises on innovation instead, though. At least as of late, they have not done ANYTHING new (Iook at the Vector RS).
That is a sexy case. I think I might need to pick me one up. I love my S340 Elite but airflow is not the greatest and now that I am getting into custom loop cooling I need more room and more options for mounting hardware.
I have my PC mounted on a Black Eclipse P600s (without tempered glass), since I was looking for a case with good airflow and, at the same time, that offered good acoustic insulation (it's on a stand by the table on the floor, so I don't care if I see the inside)... And I couldn't be happier. I only have one drawback, the fans it comes with are infernally loud, as most fans are, except the Be Quiet!, which are a perfect complement and the PC does not rise above 15 dB at full power.
Was able to fit an E-Atx board in the P600S but it required cutting off the metal struts on the right side. There are three of them and the fact they are ramped do not allow an eatx board to sit down level. After cutting notice only slight flex on the tray but not bad at all and still functional. Easy mod.
I picked this case for my build - and I LOVE it. The doors do come off if you need them to. The ONLY downside that I could note - was that with a standard PSU - it is hard to slot in another cable, without extracting the entire PSU first... UNLESS you get a PSU where the cables plug into the side.
I think what this case doesn't get enough praise on is that its one of the cheapest, if not the cheapest, cases for a dual pc in one case setup. Sure, temps are gonna be very questionable, but still... the fact that Phanteks is allowing you to do this, even if you add in the costs for the add-ons, its nice.
Had this case since it first shipped (white and black like the one in this review), and overall I like it. The space in the basement can be an issue, depending on your configuration. If you only use 2.5" SSD's or M.2 drives no problem. On the other hand four 3.5" drives will not work in the basement with medium to large PSUs, like the 750W EVGA Supernova G+. Okay, it did but I had to use a massive amount of force to get the PSU in the case, and the modular cables were so compressed between the PSU and the drive caddies that I was sure they would brake if left in that configuration. Likely wouldn't be an issue with a smaller G2 or G3 EVGA PSU (cannot speak for other brands, haven't used them).
Love the channel and seriously man could the hairbut be any more spot on? Slick af I really liked the P400S, but the airflow was so bad that I constantly had to take the front cover off and was forced to buy a magnetic mesh to place over the front during the summers. I love Phanteks ( one of my favorite companies) has reworked this case with airflow in mind. I definitely plan on buying one soon.
Also a happy owner of that case. There isn't much that needs changing. Maybe an updated mechanism for attaching the glass panel as it can drop when you release that 4th screw. If they could release a new front that removes the DVD drive and adds space for a third 140mm fan along with a full mesh front, that'd be just about perfect. I have 2 Halos in the front of mine and would love to add another one.
I just built in a Lian Li PC-011 dynamic, so I'm not looking to buy a case anytime soon, but I love your build style and reviews... So here I am, watching a case review 😀
This case alone is worth more than my entire pc. RIP me. It does look great though (other than glass front panels this adds some depth to the case which I really like.
I love my phanteks cases. Have a few of them now, the shift and the enthoo evolv from a few years ago. I ordered the rosewill cullinan from Amazon, but being that Amazon delivery went to crap, I ordered this case from Newegg instead. Looking forward to another phanteks in the mix.
Ok this is my favorite case right now. Now if they make mini version of this with more tinted glass side panel, I will surely use it for my next build.
Definitely switching my pc over to this case. My Fractal meshify c is good I just need more room because its not big enough to vertically mount a triple fan card with the cable mod kit.
Great looking case. But I'm pretty sure they didn't use white nylon as it would completely change colour after collecting dust lol Do you think this is better than the Evolv X?
Tossing up between this and the CM H500M... love the look of this. Big deciding factor though, can it fit 2x 360 rads? Top and front? Thats my biggest issue right now, getting a good airflow case that can support both and look good. How does it compare airflow wise to the h500m?
good review and choice of comparison. but can you show us the noise rating (with same[not stock] fans. :) can you fill in the details in the description please?
Just in case you run into one of these in your current cleaning series. Yes, the panels do come off, but like a cooler on an AMD chip it is best to give them a wee bit of "wiggling" or light upward taps first.
GPU temps literally went unchanged between the front panel being ON and OFF. I highly doubt stuffing a tiny, loud fan at the rear will improve GPU temps by anything substantial - at which point, if you're actually serious about cooling and OCing your GPU, you should probably just hop into the liquid cooling boat.
@@GregSalazar it was less a critique of this case specifically and more one for case manufacturers in general. I'm not sure why this reply seems quite confrontational. With open shroud cards being the standard these days would you really suggest direct extraction could not noticeably affect temps considering the effect of seemingly small changes like a single extra slot of difference from a TG panel? And that's before considering changes in case airflow dynamics, for example if more of the front airflow where drawn to the gpu by the exhaust fan making a lower pressure by the gpu as opposed to the major updraw created by 2 and 3 fan CPU AIO's - the differences between that and the Meshify s2 are negligible from a 1st glance and the GPU temp advantages Gamers Nexus saw for this over the the S2 With GPU boost any viewer of your content knows that a few degrees can make the difference between reaching a better clock frequency. As for the point on the fan being loud, a counterpoint to that would be that there is currently no reason for the premium fan manufacturers to create a quieter small fan and that skews perception on if the idea is viable, simply the differences from Noctua and Be quiet versus cheap case fans illustrate the differences that can exist with effort.
I have this case and it is really nice. However, the sound my pc makes is like the black, interrogator robot with needles from Star Wars IV, where Vader was trying to get information out of Leia. "Woowoowoowooowowowowo" The person who put my computer together made it so my fan hub is not connected and controlled on my motherboard. However, I can't figure out how to make it work because I feel like I'm missing some fan pin cables. I need to find a how-to video because I know this case is great if properly installed.
A Nylon Mesh Front Panel? Was that made by Bethesda? Just kidding. Jokes aside that is a very nice looking case with lots of room for components and good considerations towards cooling. I always look for mesh front panels but not too many cases have that. I had to take off my cooler master acrylic front panel because the system overheated and shut down even though it had 3 fans and was running at stock settings. Not sure what's going on there. Probably need better fans but I can't afford that right now. This is a very cool case and I'd love to see more case reviews!
Every guest I have is asking me about this case, I don’t have rgb, all the fans are noctua chromax, only the rear fan is a red led corsair ml 140 and the case is the black version with tg.
I'm looking to change my old ass Fractal Design Define R4 and I'm looking at either this case with solid side panel or the Define R6. I am using a DeepCool 240EX but I replaced the god awful stock fans with Corsair SP120 Silent fans which move more air at a lower RPM and doing so so much quieter for my CPU and two Shadow Wings 2 case fans to keep the system cool. I like the look of this case but I like the look of the Fractal case too. I don't want a case with a see through side panel. Its a computer I have not a show piece.
Hmmm , I may have grabbed one of these if there would have been rubber grommets, but I do like quite a few of the features and air flow. Guess I'll stick with my Lian Li-Air for now . ~ Thanks Greg
Finally, a phanteks that can breathe. *Just why is this case getting almost little to no review? The closest is HWC even that is just a comparison video (CES video doesn't count)
PC Part Picker was bitchin at me about my graphics card covering hard drive slots. If I just have the motherboard SSDs does that even matter? I mean I could always just install the other disks first before the card right?
So, do the colors of the case make a difference in how far the front panel opens? Mine opens about half as much as yours and is now bent at the bottom. Did yours do this?
I got it and i love it, but i can't leave the front panel like half open like you and other reviewers do. It's kind of annoying but eh, can take it all off i guess
Is it internally bigger than the meshify C, I am building my first PC and I wanted to get the white and black Meshify C but now I might try this case if it can fit my build since I think it looks sharp as hell and I really want that nice black and white look for my first real dive into the PC building scene
I just ordered the 'gunmetal' grey version, hope it's quiet! My aerocool cylon was like a jet! Anyone know if I'll see (hear) a significant improvement at all?
Can You advice on fan srtup in p600s? I moved stock 3x140mm fans to intake and silentwings3 for exhaust. With the top closed this results is quite a lot of wind noise but its silent when I open the top! But the top has no dust filter so what else should I try?
It's a mod tower, hut slightly bigger than most mid towers. It does have plenty of room for hardrives. Which is my main concern till I can get a NAS set up.
Please Phanteks: offset mobo tray. No grommets or fussy sliders. Top view of mobo panel: ______________________recessed panel for reservior mount _______________mobo mounting panel Cables pass from front to back between the offset panels.

What do you think of the P600S? What case would you like to see built in and tested next? Thanks for watching :-)
Nylon can be mostly transparent. Here is hoping a transparent front is coming
This seems like a good case for a person looking for a beginner custom Watercooling loop
Something itx :-)
This seems like an awesome case. I might rebuild my PC into it.
Would like to see the Corsair Crystal 680X as soon as NDA falls :P
How to impress Greg with a Case:
1: Airflow
2: White
3: Nylon (Kink?)
4: Rubber (Kink ×2?)
5: Room for "activities" in the back
6: Provide lots of tiedowns (TripleKink)
7: Look like a stormtrooper
hmm
You missed the (QuadKink) on #7.
Glad open mesh front panels are showing up once again.
Best case I've ever owned. The attention to detail is outworldish.
A must buy.
I just got one of these in the white. Absolutely gorgeous, easy to build in and best airflow I've seen, even when the panels are closed. I 100% recommend this case.
How’s the dust a year later
Hope you're taking care of it..
I purchased immediately after launch. awesome case, was so easy to build in. and silent too and when I want it to be its really cool!!
I think white nylon would get discolored by dust bunnies. Better black so the mesh stays fresh looking
Stalewind Farto1078 it is a great case for modding, plenty of room.
Have you ever heard of an interesting concept of "cleaning your dust filters"?
@@disricardo-9299 I think he stated quite clearly. discoloured, you wont be able to change it back to pure white.
Was just looking on getting this. I'm loving it! Definitely getting one when I move to a white themed build.
Im glad they fixed the airflow issue that the p400s struggled with and honestly 3x140mm fans is a really nice bonus
I love the extra height and width. This is so AIO/custom loop friendly plus 3 x 140's. This is what the next Fractal Arc Midi should try to match.
applemaggot I love fractal and phanteks, quality cases at every budget. They don’t compromise on material and durability.
Good thing that this exists then, since there won't be any more Arc cases, I guess :/
@@alexandrubalaban5266 Fractal compromises on innovation instead, though. At least as of late, they have not done ANYTHING new (Iook at the Vector RS).
I’m definitely keeping my eye on this case.
9:52 I was paying attention to the cat
We need a review on the cat.
I skipped to the cat. #priorities
sameee love his cat
Same
I got one. I got one. Sitting, still in the box, in the next room. Gonna build it this week ... 2950x, Asus Zenith Alpha, RTX2080 .... soooo excited!
I got this case a month ago, and coming from an Enthoo Evolv ATX TG, I dropped roughly 6-8 degrees off my GPU temps.
nice. Im gonna do the same. Thats a big drop!
I know this is a bit old, i apperently missed this one, but room up to 10 hdd and good airflow. Yuppp perfect for a atx nas case.
That is a sexy case. I think I might need to pick me one up. I love my S340 Elite but airflow is not the greatest and now that I am getting into custom loop cooling I need more room and more options for mounting hardware.

I got the P 350x a while back. I should have this instead of that. Looks stunning.
After this video my new case is between this and the Meshify S2 White. Thanks for the great review.
nice muscles, greg. 9:53
I want the gray color so bad. Awesome review!
Hoping Phanteks may release a similar front panel for the p400s tg. My rig doesn’t get terribly hot, but the extra airflow would be really nice.
wow, thanks for using our track Oddity :D! very nice
This case alone is worth more than my entire pc. RIP me. It does look great though (other than glass front panels this adds some depth to the case which I really like.

white nylon would be great addition !!
I want Phanteks to sell a nylon mesh front panel for my P350X. I love the case but I'd like a bigger front intake and the nylon looks dank
this seems to solved my major problem with the P400s which I have. Air flow is not great
Would you go for the P600s or Evolv X ??
Got this one in Grey. Really love it (:
Been trying to decide whether to go for this, the be quiet! 801, Lian Li o11 Dynamic or NZXT H710i, but really feel this is the best of the lot now.
Definitely switching my pc over to this case. My Fractal meshify c is good I just need more room because its not big enough to vertically mount a triple fan card with the cable mod kit.
Did you switch? how did the temps change?
10:00 look like your cat is having fun. LOL!!! CATS RULE!!!!!!!!!
Ok I will get this case over the Fractal Design Meshify S2.
Great looking case. But I'm pretty sure they didn't use white nylon as it would completely change colour after collecting dust lol

good review and choice of comparison. but can you show us the noise rating (with same[not stock] fans. :) can you fill in the details in the description please?
Are you going to do a review of the Meshify S2?
It's a longer meshify c. Boom
Your voice is... how would Gabe from The Office put it... exquisite 😍👌🏽

Many Thanks for this great video
Haha cat in the background at 10min mark
I'm getting "A Christmas Story" vibes from the nylon it's remind me of the leg lamp.
I wish a case manufacturer would simply ommit vert mounts so we can have a 60mm fan in the triple slot area for actual thermal gains

If they do this mesh in a smaller chassis my next case will be a Phanteks for sure
they could have legit made the inside of the p400a white and added the option cover for the top and boom legit id bought it
My next case!
I own a Corsair Obsidian 500D, I might upgrade to this...what do you think?
I still love the storm trooper vibes of this case. Still more of a looker even more so than the awkward looking new air cases
H500P mesh or P600S . Which airflow is batter?

*Just why is this case getting almost little to no review? The closest is HWC even that is just a comparison video (CES video doesn't count)
Cool-looking case. Seems a bit big to me though. (Meshify C owner btw)
Is it better than the Cooler Master H500 at thermals?
i notice the glass most of the time is on the left side which means it has to sit on the right side of the desk, in my case not possible
