I have two of these cases for my kids, and I have to say it's SOLID for the price. The only gripes so far is that the HDD cage is really close to the PSU, so if you're not using 3.5" magnetic drives, or multiple SSDs, then just remove the cage altogether. Save yourself a bunch of trouble getting your cables to fit in that small space. Second gripe is the flimsiness of the rear panel. Yeah, it's a $60 case. The rear panel is the ONLY part of it that feels $60 flimsy, I promise, everything else is rock solid and well built. That said, I did almost bend the rear fan mesh while uninstalling the stock fan to make room for my upgraded RGB fan. Also, this is probably just something me or my son did in error, but one of the cable management nodes on the front of the case was somehow bent during installation, probably of the front fans. This was probably our fault though, and the problem was easily and quickly rectified by just bending it back with pliers and a gentle touch. Third gripe is that the motherboard side panel is really fucking HARD to remove. Like, 'I feel that I'm going to break it' hard. Just take your time and you will get it off. It is quite problematic though, and I can see it being a bigger problem for inexperienced and younger builders, but if you know what you're getting into, you should be okay. Just don't force it. Overall, this case is the bees knees for the money. I cannot think of a better case in this price range that has the same features and LOOKS. Seriously, it looks amazing. The front panel is HEAVY, as in not cheap plastic, but a real metal part that took time and care. GREAT case and I will recommend over anything else in the price range.
Sorry for replying to this old comment, the third grip you have, the motherboard side panel is the non-tempered glass side you are referring to right? I bought a prebuild that uses one of this case and the exhaust fan stopped working. I thought of opening it up to check but after unscrewing the 2 screws and tring to pry it open, it refused to budge so I thought I might be breaking something and kinda gave up.
This case has given me good service for close to six years. If I have any complaint it's that I wish it had a routing hole on the bottom or my gpu power cable.
Let me know if the PCI-E cover in the back is missing. Mine and several others have had a somewhat sizeable hole where the cover is shown here. Evidently related to allowing vertical GPU mounting?
Dear Phanteks, Your P300 is not too big which is what I look for. My current case is a very old one : Chieftec CX-01B-B-B. As I baught and build new components this summer into it. I was looking for a new pc case. Few days ago, I saw your P300 and told to my self "Finally I found it". Before ordering it, I checked the clearence and the problems started. First my PSU (Corsair RM750x) is too long (180mm, clearence: 160mm). However, as I don't have 3,5" drives I could have removed the drive support. Second, my CPU cooler (Noctua NH-U14S) is too tall (165mm, clearence 160mm). Therefore that's a no go despite the case is neat and meets my aesthetics needs. If you made the same but a bit wider, I'll buy one immediatly.
Pretty cool case, I got this in red and black for my first pc build. I will probably get 3 more RGB fans and put them on the left and right side and move the stock fan to the top.
Ok I just bought this and I have been trying to open the back and slide in the power supply but it will not open and I have removed the screws and it still won’t budge if there is something I’m missing i would like to know
This case is so good, you get a TG panel AND a psu shroud AND rgb on the powerbutten and shroud. Its full metal and ATX. HOW IS THIS 60 DOLLARS??????!!!!
I would've liked a dual 140mm fan on top, I think there could be the room. Agree with others RE: rear fan being 140mm supported as well, otherwise a nice case.
Hey Kirotone, It's 400mm long, you'd need maybe 300mm for the dual 280mm opening, and at 200mm wide that's 60mm for the edges and the IO. Maybe they'd need to add the IO to the front? My Enthoo Evolv mATX has it on the front panel and agree it would be a very tight fit if the IO was like this case. Idk the 1 opening though just doesn't look right.
a tad wider wouldn't hurt I think but that would probably increase the cost too, as more material is used to increase overall width but 120mm for cost saving is an okay imo
planning on using this for my new build becasue nzxt is gay and you cant take off the front pannel and i dont want to have to break my fingers to fit an aio in there
ONE MAN... ONE CASE... ONE DESTINY... IN A WORLD OF SHITTY CASES, ONE CASE RISES ABOVE ALL THE REST. THIS SUMMER. WORLDS COLLIDE. KINGDOMS FALL. WITNESS THE PRECIPICE OF DESTINY IN... THE P300. Rated pg13.
I know it will sound strange and most will probly blast me for it... but i use the 120mm rad in the back with a blower style reference gtx 980.. this case is perfect for that.. if you have a circulation style gpu, my recommendation would be to put the 120mm aio on the front top and place a 140mm on the top exhaust... currently running all corsair ml 120's for exhaust and 140's for intake and have beautiful temps..
Built a pc for my brother with this case ryzen 5 1600 and gtx 1060 3gb. Nice pc but the thing is when he was playing arc on med-high settings after like an hour the tempered glass was pretty hot to touch. I don't think 1 fan is good enough i recommend buying another fan or so.
as much as this case looks awesome, this case will suffer airflow as the front dust filters are sat WAY too far from the fans and hence choking the fans and the fans will use recycle air inside the case...I have P400 TG and it looks beautiful but also suffers airflow. All I did to fix this is to get magnetic dust filters and place them RIGHT INFRONT of the fans (which is similar to S340 and Define C ) and remove the stock front dust filter, it helps temps by 5-7 degree drop. I'm not saying this p300 and p400 isn't great, they are far superior (interms of cable management, PSU Shroad, expand-ability and easy to build with) than the same tier of mid-tower cases out there but this eclipse line only suffer in airflow.
I agree, Gamer Nexus was very critical of the Phanteks P400 with high temps and restrictive airflow. Have you tried using an additional Static Pressure Fan 120/140mm? I find it strange that they only put 1 fan in this case unlike the P400 which has 2 and sells for around the same price or lower than the P300 when on a sale (non-TG version though).
I don't understand why you would get temperature drops if you put dust filters right in front of the fans. Why isn't Phanteks' dust filter placement good? Could you please explain?
Trying to see if a ROG Strix 1080Ti will fit in this with a 280mm AIO in front. They quote 330mm GPU support, the card in question is 298mm, so 32mm of space, 25mm fan.. 7mm for rad? lol probably not :/
RicardoMonteiro98 that 298 for the gpu was pcb length, not cooler length. Couldn’t get both items installed. Upsized the case to the P400S TG. Too bad, the style of the P300 I think is better with the smaller glass piece.
Can somebody do a proper case review with mounting at least one front fan in this case and checking thermals, cause every reviewer is complaining about the poor airflow and I think most adopters will populate front with fans or aio.
HALAXKEBAB I also had a Corsair psu and mine seams to fit, make sure u have the fan pointed downwards, it’s mostly likely a simple solution, because most psu are the same size
Really love phanteks as a company they really do try to innovate and cost effective without sacrificing much. This line is an awesome line but compared to the define meshify line I think this p series needs more air flow for the GPU. Check out Gamers Nexus review. I was thinking out purchasing this case and modding the front panel and use the RGB fan mounts you recently released, but it has no front fan filters that cover the chassis. I think that little addition will go a long way. Besides that very clean and great implementation of RGB button. Great work Phantek!!👏
Sorry but I just can't stand 120mm rear fans anymore. 2mm more width would allow for better fans (same airflow with less noise or more airflow at the same acoustic level), why is this so hard for many manufacturers? I love my Enthoo Evolv ITX for its small size without limiting me to 120mm fans all around. This might be no issue for many, but for me, this is a reason not to buy that case, even if I like the rest (design, TG, layout etc.).
It can and does fit but its a tight fit. Not because of height of case but because the top io cable hang in a 90degree angle from the case and are long enough to interfere with the instalation of a 280mm radiator. P.S.: +andrew Doge Senpai GTF outa here, you can fit a 280 rad , just requires more work and movement of front io cables.
the hdd caddy sucks it vibrates like crazy, i found 3 others online confirming same issue. where can i put the 3.5 inch hdd and not have it vibrate>????? theres also no full manual for the case and airflow sucks cause theres only 1 exhaust fan so u need to go and buy a front fan.....overall a bad decision for me to get this case....they tricked me all those reviewers and sites did. ur spending another 15$ on a fan and god knows what fixing hdd vibration...and it doesnt block sound well either. pay for a closed case with fans and preferably noise blockage...even if its 1.5x as expensive it pays for itself. im angry i have to deal with all these problems and reviewers/tutorials not cover them.
other problem is getting power cable through the damn slits and plugged into mobo....i had to feed it through the front fan space, i can only have 1 front fan now.
DWeh_ 40mm fans are noisy and move no real volume of air, 2x 12tb ironwolfs. Not sure where your going with reference to the age of the drives? When your doing long extended file transfers you need decent cooling on your hdds ask any datacenter
That airflow demo is pure bullshit. The front panel is very restrictive and stupid. Get the mesh front panel version instead of this one with closed front panel, or custom mode it like me to improve air intake from the 2 fans on the front so the case can breathe.

Thanks man just got this case and am only using ssd so will remove cage.
@shocking farground x Yes, there are screw holes in the bottom of the slot that can accommodate an SSD. Lots of room for storage!

@@tehpyono2203 Yeah, it's supposed to slide right open, but it always takes more effort than I thought.
The best branded case video walk through I have ever seen.
An airflow version of this case's form factor and price would be amazing. Make it happen Phanteks!
It has a mesh front version now ! :)
Phanteks, you rock!
this case has soooo many problems. mbe buy one and see before u just languish praise on something u kno nothing about.
We use the metal mesh version and it is just great, especially in this price point. Good job, Phanteks!
I needed to get the front of a P600 and this really helped me figure it out - thanks
😃👍🏼
This case has given me good service for close to six years. If I have any complaint it's that I wish it had a routing hole on the bottom or my gpu power cable.
10/10 animations wish this case could have enough space to fit a be quiet dark rock pro 3 or a cryorig r1 though.
Sup_ Some dude accidentely bought it and managed to intall it im going to buy dark rock 4 (15.94cm)
this is gonna be in my home soon can't wait
Let me know if the PCI-E cover in the back is missing. Mine and several others have had a somewhat sizeable hole where the cover is shown here. Evidently related to allowing vertical GPU mounting?
I would actually prefer this case more than many of the other p’s
Dear Phanteks,
Your P300 is not too big which is what I look for. My current case is a very old one : Chieftec CX-01B-B-B.
As I baught and build new components this summer into it. I was looking for a new pc case.
Few days ago, I saw your P300 and told to my self "Finally I found it".
Before ordering it, I checked the clearence and the problems started.
First my PSU (Corsair RM750x) is too long (180mm, clearence: 160mm).
However, as I don't have 3,5" drives I could have removed the drive support.
Second, my CPU cooler (Noctua NH-U14S) is too tall (165mm, clearence 160mm).
Therefore that's a no go despite the case is neat and meets my aesthetics needs.
If you made the same but a bit wider, I'll buy one immediatly.
Pretty cool case, I got this in red and black for my first pc build. I will probably get 3 more RGB fans and put them on the left and right side and move the stock fan to the top.
Ok I just bought this and I have been trying to open the back and slide in the power supply but it will not open and I have removed the screws and it still won’t budge if there is something I’m missing i would like to know
u mean the one on the bottom back? u dont put the power supply through the back in, u put it in through the side.
Hi, need help. I buy phanteks p300a, this case have rgb mode or only white led?? I have only white led for glass, and button can only restart pc
This case is so good, you get a TG panel AND a psu shroud AND rgb on the powerbutten and shroud. Its full metal and ATX. HOW IS THIS 60 DOLLARS??????!!!!
Because it can’t fit your psu cables
What about HDD temperature there is no ventilation or fan?
Got this case but in white, can't go wrong with Phantex.
I would've liked a dual 140mm fan on top, I think there could be the room. Agree with others RE: rear fan being 140mm supported as well, otherwise a nice case.
Conza I'm not sure that a 140 would fit with the I/O on the motherboard being there too without making the case wider
Hey Kirotone, It's 400mm long, you'd need maybe 300mm for the dual 280mm opening, and at 200mm wide that's 60mm for the edges and the IO. Maybe they'd need to add the IO to the front? My Enthoo Evolv mATX has it on the front panel and agree it would be a very tight fit if the IO was like this case. Idk the 1 opening though just doesn't look right.
Conza I was just going off how it looked next to the I/O slot in the video - haven't checked exact specs
a tad wider wouldn't hurt I think
but that would probably increase the cost too, as more material is used to increase overall width
but 120mm for cost saving is an okay imo
If they put 2 fans in the top that will cause negative air pressure
planning on using this for my new build becasue nzxt is gay and you cant take off the front pannel and i dont want to have to break my fingers to fit an aio in there
Hey, Will this case fit Noctua NH-D14? Thanks!!
Where do you connect the multi color LED stripes? I'm just a first time builder here.
Lol me too at the exact same time. Anyways, it depends on what motherboard you have, and the options for your RGB headers.
I've seen people put in 165mm height cooler so 160mm is safe zone?
ONE MAN... ONE CASE... ONE DESTINY...

Rated pg13.
The max PSU is 160mm or 190mm?(Becuose on its site its 197mm inch. cables.)
very extreme music. jesus...
Feels like they are saving the world with this case
will i get copyright if i use this clip in my video?
nice. the front panel should have venting along the sides though. too restrictive.
For the price point it's fine. If you're buying $60 cases you're probably not pushing anything too hard.
Looks great but tbh the epic music is a bit of an overkill
Good presentation for a pc case...
I know it will sound strange and most will probly blast me for it... but i use the 120mm rad in the back with a blower style reference gtx 980.. this case is perfect for that.. if you have a circulation style gpu, my recommendation would be to put the 120mm aio on the front top and place a 140mm on the top exhaust... currently running all corsair ml 120's for exhaust and 140's for intake and have beautiful temps..
Does it come with fans
Can i install a dvd drive in this case? And if yes, where?
no , not supported
Built a pc for my brother with this case ryzen 5 1600 and gtx 1060 3gb. Nice pc but the thing is when he was playing arc on med-high settings after like an hour the tempered glass was pretty hot to touch. I don't think 1 fan is good enough i recommend buying another fan or so.
yes u need to buy extra fans
Do a Gun-Metal Grey colour :D
But even in Black this looks like a case to shake up the budget market for sure
Ive got this case and id like to switch the front panel from the normal to the p300a front panel, is this possible?
3 years late, but you can get the P300a version front panel. It fits on the P300.
Laconically and it is clear, THX.
is the fan pwm? if it's not,how do i control its speed?
Where do I get a second Drop n lock ssd bracket for the case?
the rgbs on mine dont work
someone help
I too..
Can you make the back fan LED to match the case lighting? Like the AMD ring on the CPU fan.
What does it means PSU up to 160mm, what does the 160mm means, length, width, height? ASAP Please
for an atx case like this width and height are standard and only length varies
so you can put 240mm AIO with full lenght GPU ?! GOTTA GO BUY SOME AIO
no oly 333mm gpu and 4 120mm fans and motherboard case cant be bigger than 166mm high
Can i fit the cooler master V550 fully modular?
where can i get the hdd brackets it would help alot ty
it's included
Does it come with a manual on where to plug in the top ports on the motherboard?
nope.

JackyLee1226 which magenetic dust filter did you use? Please let me know
JackyLee1226 you gotta pick airflow or noise. I prefer my pc to be quieter, and since I use low tier parts, a low airflow option makes the most sense.
what is a better fan size for this case 120mm or 140mm?
2muchstuff Bothe good

what mm fans tho?
Can somebody do a proper case review with mounting at least one front fan in this case and checking thermals, cause every reviewer is complaining about the poor airflow and I think most adopters will populate front with fans or aio.
White color way?
yes there is a white version
what size fans can I put in the front and the top?
120 and 140mm
did they fix the problem with 280 radiators not fitting because of the front io hub?
nope, fighting this myself
I like "budget-friendly enclosures" - Can the glass panel be held in place with magnets?
Still didnt figure out where to plug the led/where to find the led wire
Ikr my LEDs don't work I didn't have a connector
I figured it out btw it’s really simple Ollie cole
@@enjamincourchesne1987 please tell me
you have to connect the wire to your power supply, i don't remember wich one it is, i'm opening my pc to install a full fan setup soon so ill tell you

I have this case for my pc and it is soooo good
AnonymousAntelope how did you install the psu? Because i have a corsair 650w and the Holes dont match the Case. Please help me

I can barely fit my power supply in there wtf
I removed the hard drive bay for more room for wires
Zereko how did you do that ? Can’t get them off
other problem is getting power cable through the damn slits and plugged into mobo....i had to feed it through the front fan space, i can only have 1 front fan now.
I have this and airflow is atrocious
Just ordered this (price around 50 Euro) i am hesitating since airflow seems subpar, how many fans do you have installed, stock cpu-heatsink?
i have this computer
Just got this case and itse sexy
An awesome case ruined by the fact the 3.5 bays get no cooling.
Jolinator How old is your Hard Drive then? and when its such a problem, get a 40mm fan or so in there and boom
DWeh_ 40mm fans are noisy and move no real volume of air, 2x 12tb ironwolfs. Not sure where your going with reference to the age of the drives? When your doing long extended file transfers you need decent cooling on your hdds ask any datacenter
Don’t know if you realized but the front intake will give the bay some air since the intake is at the bay level...
why is this so dramatic lol. Ordered a black and red one
That airflow demo is pure bullshit. The front panel is very restrictive and stupid. Get the mesh front panel version instead of this one with closed front panel, or custom mode it like me to improve air intake from the 2 fans on the front so the case can breathe.
can 4 120mm fans fit in the case?
