Phanteks PH-EC300ATG_BK01 Eclipse P300A Tempered Glass Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Desktop Chassis

Tempered glass look really nice. Cable management is extremely easy and neatly hidden. Front mesh easily removable making it easy to swap out HDD or SSD. Comes with two chassis USB 3.0 rather than the normal 2.0. 3 fans are pretty nice already, but the front mesh with RGB fans look absolutely awesome.
As said all in all an wonderful experience.

Plain vanilla, good quality, excellent airflow - would have liked to see a USB 3 port on the front panel. I've got a big tower cooler and a 3070 in it and it's super quiet.

Awesome little case, it isn't the biggest (great for me being an SFF junkie) and worked great as the backbone of a build for a friend. Easily fits a decent size GPU and has surprisingly good cable management for the size.

Note this review is after having bought and built into two P300A's. This is a high quality computer case if you plan on doing a relatively budget to mid-range build.

Note the following before buying:

* It is smaller than it appears in the pictures - so double check CPU, GPU and other clearances
* It only has one 120mm fan installed in the rear (you need at least one intake fan if you are doing a traditional air cooling setup - top and front intakes support 140mm - get that instead of 120mm if you want a quieter setup)
* It has limited space for spin drives

This is a real person lol. The case is pretty good. The ability to completely disassemble the case is a plus. I would recommend that you buy at least 1 intake fan because the case does need some airflow to achieve its potential as an airflow case.

I would advise you double check your PSU length because is a little tight in the shroud but it does have enough space for a standard Length PSU. Another small issue is that it doesn't have an intake filter for dust but that's the comprise you make for more airflow.

If you're looking to do a build with a high-end air cooler, know that you can fit a Be quite! Dark Rock Pro 4 air cooler with a little room to spare (maybe like >5mm clearance ) off the glass assuming you have slightly shorter RAM. I managed to fit the cooler with some corsair RBG Vengeance RAM but just barely so if you're looking to Run anything above 16GB then you'll need a Water cooler.

Solid case that does what its meant to do at an amazing price. Once assembled its neat, crisp and solid. Some drawbacks are that it is quite tight for an ATX build with 3 tier GPU, also limited SSD fitting and HDD cradles were a bit finicky with a 750w PSU cables also quite a squeeze. On balance I liked the simplicity and it was not a problem to assemble - would gladly recommend and once again Wootware next day delivery was fantastic...

Incredibly well put together ATX case. Obviously there are no frills or extras. But it does exactly what it needs to and provides excellent airflow.

Built mine specifically with a Noctua air cooler and Noctua NF S12B case fans - the thermals are phenomenal.

The case itself is very nice, has high build quality and a unique look that just screams "Phanteks". That being said, from the side it looks a little squashed, and the panel in front is just very big holes as opposed to full mesh. The one included fan is fairly silent but audible, like a cool breeze, and the spacing inside the case feels small. It does have a PSU shroud, raised feet, a tempered glass side panel and an overall minimalist look, and on my desk the "squashed" form certainly fits nicely, but if you can afford it, pay R500 more for the Meshify C, which has two fans and a less odd layout, as well as a full mesh front panel.

My friend and I had some gripes with this case. It was difficult to put together compared to other cases he has worked with. Affordable though, fits a big fan and GPU, and doesn't have garish RGB.

Can't find a better case for the price. Amazing airflow but need additional fans. Easy to build a computer in. Good service and delivery from Wootware.

If you like small cases but also want to put some serious hardware into them (that require good airflow), then this is the perfect case for that.

Build quality is great, cable management was super easy, and it feels like everything has been thought out very well. With the mesh cover there's so much airflow in the case it's pretty much almost the same as having an open case.

As usual there's no free lunch though, the lack of filters builds up a lot of dust on the mesh cover (which you can wipe off easily I should say), but more dust does make it inside than usual. So you just have to be aware of that tradeoff. Space is very tight in the PSU/hard drive compartment and also at the top of the case. If you're happy to mount your radiator/AIO on the front, and have a modular PSU, then you won't have any issues.

Overall definitely recommended.

Awesome features, easy to build in, great cable management. For its budget an excellent case. I do recommend two additional fans at the front just for extra airflow.

I must say the case is very well though through. Some pass though holes do not line up exactly with the motherboard connectors. I had no trouble connecting to my SATA ports except port 2 but 1,3 and 4 was fine, I am not using 5 and 6 due to m.2 drive installed.

The front mesh panel does allow a lot of dust in. I added my own filter sponge.

Would prefer modular psu due to the small space available to store all the cables but a non-modular fits.

For this price I dont see you finding a case much better than this.

The case looks awesome, is extremely easy to build in, and has the potential to be one of the best cases for airflow in its price class. Unfortunately, you will need to buy two additional fans to drop in the front if you want to see that airflow performance which is a bit of a bummer.

This case provides excellent airflow and cable management is a breeze.
Overall its a very clean case.

Simple, clean design with decent cable management and excellent airflow for a neat, durable build.

Pros:

- Fully meshed front panel for amazing for airflow.

- The PSU/HDD enclosure acts as a solid base in which much of your PC building nasties can be hidden.
(also cool for displaying action figures or other trinkets on)

- Revised side panel mounting means there are no side-facing screws.

- Side, front and top panels are easy to remove, making cleaning your rig a simple task.

- It has a pretty small footprint, which is ideal if you value desk space.

Small Cons:

- I find that the captive thumbscrews at the back can be quite fidgety but simply removing them and reseating them will solve most of the threading issues, else you can replace them with traditional thumbscrews.

- Some of the cutouts in the PSU enclosure may not line up nicely with your mobo's bottom connectors, causing more cable to show than expected.

IMPORTANT :
This case comes with only 1 fan (mounted as rear exhaust by default), so I definitely recommend adding in two 140mm fans as intake at the front.

At ~R1k, it's good value and while it may not be the flashiest case, it's robust and serves its purpose wonderfully.
Highly recommend.

This case works well for the price, airflow is really good and I like the clean looks also. I did, however, have a couple of frustrations while building in this case; minor things that could have been avoided by the manufacturer.

The first is that there is a zip tie hook exactly underneath the power connector for the one 2.5" SSD slot. This makes it nearly impossible to connect the 90 degree SATA power connector to the SSD. They could have placed this hook 2cm to the left and not have this problem.

The second is that the pass-through holes next to the motherboard are too narrow. You have to wrestle the 24 pin power connector and PCIe power cables through. These holes are also blocked/misaligned where many high-end motherboards have right-angled SATA ports. I had to cut the case with a side cutter to allow the SATA cables to reach the motherboard's SATA ports. Even with this I can still only use the bottom row of SATA ports on my motherboard since the top row is blocked by the cover and this shows again that the through-holes are too narrow. Not very well thought through.

Last thing is that space is extremely limited for PSU cables at the bottom if you plan to keep the HDD cage.

So if you aren't using SATA this case is really good and makes it possible to have a very clean looking machine.

I'm a first time builder, got this case for a bit of future proofing. The 1 stock fan is very quiet. Has lots of space for longer GPUs and deep enough for a taller CPU cooler. I only have a mico-ATX in there. Also has velcro cable management straps at the back so easy to organise cables. My only fumble is the SSD mounts are really close to the back cover, I had trouble getting the SATA cables to fit in there, and ended up mounting the SSD in the HDD rack in the front. But I was working with 90º SATA data cables. If you get straight cables you should be fine for the back SSD mounts.

Great looking case for the price.

Engineered to perfection in the Netherlands, with a no-compromise airflow design. Very relevant product in the here and now. Wootware keeps their catalogue up-to-date, and makes products available before anyone else does. Awesome.
