This case is amazing especially for a budget or a Mid tier Build. The cooling is Really good as well. It does get a bit stuffy during summer , but its only minor.

I really love this case

I'm very happy with this case. The case is fairly sturdy and the included RGB fans works well with my motherboard and Asus Armory Crate software.

Got it on special for R1499. Bargain considering the case size and the included 3 fans. Great airflow and a breeze to work in. My first Phanteks case, but I'll definitely be a returning customer. Excellent service form Wootware as per usual :)

Good value and lots of space to fit in all the components and allow in enough air for cooling. Looks good without being too flashy and comes with three case fans with RGB

Bought this case in lockdown 2020, was more than enough for everything. Sometimes its a little tight and you might need a smaller motherboard to plan your cable management and fan installation otherwise you will unscrew everything again and again.

I built my first ever PC a week ago. I chose this case due it showing great cooling potential with stock configuration by Gamer Nexus. I live in the NC where it gets very hot and thus far it does not disappoint. I am running a ryzen 5 5600 with the radeon rx 6700 and the highest temps found this far is 66-69C, usually being high fifties to low 60s. So this case is great for cooling.

The case looks great and is much larger than expected, in a good way. My only problems found with the case is that it only came with one motherboard standoff and I required 2 for my M-ATX board. The space for the cable management is also a little tight but that could also just be bad cable management on my part. I highly recommend this case but would suggest the P500A if you have a radiator as this case does not support it.

So so close, used this in my first build and I love the way it looks. My only complaint is that you can't mount all 3 front fans externally, only the top 2. I've seen people fix this by taking a dremel to it and it still looks fantastic after, bit it shouldn't be necessary.
Literally a tiny piece of metal in the way that you can't even see from outside. This seems like an easily avoidable problem

Probably one of the better cases I had up to now. Sure some/most will call it basic, but that was part of the reason. Good airflow and minimalistic. Then this is it. Note that this case comes with front fans and you have to add the extra one on the back and or top if you wanted to have them.

Been using it for about a week and I love the case. It is a good quality build with a bit of flex on the rear fan grill and basement shroud cover but it shouldn't cause any issues. The case is spacious and cable management routing is decent, although front fans lack pass through holes. The 3 included front fans cool down the PC sufficiently and are very quiet. Personally, I think the shorter tempered glass panel (like in the P300A) would be better since it overlaps the basement shroud. Overall a fantastic case for a great price!

I love the case. The built-in RGB controller and the ARGB fans in front are a great addition, but...
On startup, only 1 fan spun, but all lit up.
I had to disconnect the entire daisy chain of fan wires, reconnect them, and now only do they all work. And in that troubleshooting process, one fan died. Not happy about that.
I am holding on the case though, as it is spacious, easy to build in and fit my setup perfectly.

Really happy with the case. Very quiet. I found the wiring for the fans a bit confusing. The RGB case doesn't have a fan speed controller only an RGB controller. Powering the fans - they are 4-wire (PWM) fans. So you need 3 headers on your motherboard, or you need splitter cable(s). The fans draw up to 0.36A each, and most motherboards are rated at 1A per fan header. So to be safe, you should only pair 2 on a single motherboard header. Fan lighting - The built in RGB controller needs to be powered from SATA power. That is all you need to do to use the controller, which is already connected to the fans. If you want to power/control the fans RGB from your motherboard, you don't need the STA power, and there is a separate "ARGB" plug to connect to your motherboard.

Got my case today and I love it so much, really good Quality.

Love the case, it is a good quality build. There is a bit of flex on the rear fan grill and basement shroud cover but I have not had any issues from this. Mounting fans there will stiffen it but all in all no issues. Cable management routing is decent, front fans lack pass through holes but all the cables reached where needed on my motherboard. Fans are super quiet, love them. Also the front fans it comes with cool down the PC sufficiently that you don't have to buy more fans. Personal choice here

Great Airflow , it's a pity that for those of us modest enthusiasts we cannot get non RGB setups for the same price.
But all in all using this case as a temp new build and maybe another build when GPUs come back

Bought 2 of these cases for my build, absolutely like the RGB lights with my Asrock Z590 and Super Flower SF-750F14RG PSU. Also got 2 x i5 11600K and Mushkin MKNSSDHL1TB NVME drives.

Very nice case to build in, lots of space to move around. The PSU enclosure is a nice addition to keep the windowed area clean and neat. Cables fit perfectly behind the mobo plate with lots of spots to cable tie things down. PSU fits in snugly with no issues. Nice size with good priority given to design and cost. Snazzy RGB as well.

Best case I have ever owned! Excellent build quality, very good air flow (and silent!), super easy to build in. GPU temps dropped by 10 degrees, even the hot spot! Highly recommended

I am very satisfied with this product.

Great airflow, fans are fairly quiet, enough routing for decent cable management. Bottom space is small if you have a large motherboard, this can make plugging into those bottom ports quite difficult.

Pros
- Sleek simple design
- Great airflow with the front being open mesh
- Comes with fans fans fans x3 ????
- Options for either RGB case control or with motherboard

Cons
- Does not come with the vertical GPU mount and/or cable ( not that it was advertised but it would have been better with it )

Considerations
- NO top radiator mounting especially with a big motherboard VRAM cooling option, unless you sticking it outside your case looking like Robocop
- The front supports a radiator mount but with a
- 240mm radiator fit, will require you to mount your 3rd front fan directly behind the mesh front panel, will not fit on the inside (with a lower pump option)
- 360mm will need a top pump option which is generally not recommended as it captures air in your AIO. However there is an option to remove the bottom panel to make more
room for a bottom pump option but this will replace your 3.5inch HDD space. Adding to this you have to make sure your pump tubes are long enough!
- If your GPU is greater than 300mm length wise, it might be a tight squeeze having a front radiator, might have to look at the vertical mount option instead.
- This digital case option does NOT have the fan controller built in.

Overall I am happy with this case. Just do your homework to see if it fits your needs. For what its advertised to be, its amazing.

At the pricepoint this case sells for, I can't say anything bad about it.

Airflow is great (Maybe just fork out an extra R300 for an exhaust fan), the case is sleek, well built and great space for cable management. The fans run silent (this is subjective) even at full speed.

Their fans' RGB isn't the highest quality and the cables are a little short, making me struggle with cable management, but then again for the price I can't really subtract a star for that.

Build quality is excellent and has very good airflow, no obstructions blocking airflow from the front fans, mesh grill from top to bottom allows free flow of air into the case, will need to purchase a fan for the rear exhaust though as it does not come with one. Top of the case has a mesh cover for radiator mount or extra fans and comes with an easily removable magnetic dust filter which is a big plus.
Hiding wires will be easy as it has plenty access spaces to feed wires through and comes with velcro straps on the rear panel to keep things tidy.

Seriously loving the case, it looks amazing, it was easy to build and there is so much space! I am loving it! The bonus is the fan lights are bright but not over the top.

I ordered on a Friday afternoon, and it was delivered in Johannesburg on Monday morning, very impressed. The case itself is really great, better than most!

A very easy case to build in with excellent airflow. RGB works great and looks good.

It has almost been about 2 months since I've started using this pc case and I'm loving it.

The front and top meshes work perfectly to restrict the amount of dust that would normally get in on other pc cases. The fans included in the case provide more than enough cool air. I really don't need any more than that.

I'll definitely stick to Phantek cases in any future pc builds.

It is a great case and I highly recommend it. Note that you cannot install a top mounted AIO as there is not enough space between the case and motherboard. Also, each fan requires its own header.

Good case with good airflow,

Biggest problem is that L-shaped sata power is a hassle for the bottom 3.5 inch HDD, might be aswell for 2.5 ssd mounts. Some cables don`t really reach to be able to use the velcro straps, and abit of a hassle since you have to put power cables through before you put in the board.

Other then that unboxing seemed to be a bit dirty even though it was covered in plastic with some gunk on the glass rubber screw holders and glass was vibrating abit seemed to fairly for the most part be fixed by turning the rubber more (might work for now). first time i came across a not straight screw hole for side panel.

So I decided to go with this case and all I can say is WOW. Fantastic quality and the cable management is really neat and tide with plenty space to slide the back cover onto the case once you have all you cables sorted. I installed the Fractal 280 Celsius AIO into this case so relocated the 3 front intake fans, placed 2 of them on the top and 1 on the rear as exhaust fans, then mounted the AIO in the front, was able to daisy chain the 3 case fans and the 2 AIO fans together so they all run off the chassis RGB controller, the 5 fans are in PWM mode and being controlled by the motherboard BIOS.
I would recommend this case to anyone looking for a really nice quality case with excellent air flow. Also plenty of space with the front mounted Franctal 280 AIO and my MSI 3060ti Gaming X Trio to fit with ease, so for anyone with a triple fan GPU it will fit 100% with a front mounted AIO.

This case is fantastic! The tempered glass side panel is wonderful, the airflow and temps are outstanding and the build quality is very solid. The fans are also really quiet if you use them at around 75% speed for full load, delivering very good performance for minimal increase in sound. It is pretty bare bones, without many fancy features some more expensive cases have, but for the price it can barely be beat.

Great case with 3 cool ARGB fans. Very clean to setup and use along with nice addons like cable management straps. Everything was easy to install in here and the airflow is great.

I haven't been able to fully appreciate this due to a PSU issue I ran into, but I love the fans with the LEDs in this case. Apart from that, I really appreciate just how easy managing cables and hard drives and such is in this case - it has these straps in the back area behind the motherboard to keep your cables neat and out of sight plus two vertical slits for cables to go through to the motherboard side. I love the tempered glass window and how easily you can remove the panels.

There is also space for a rear fan and/or dual top fan, though my only real gripe is that the three fans in the front do not have their fan cables connected to each other, so by default you need to plug them into 3 separate motherboard sockets to get them all to work. It would make far more sense to have the signals connected so that you can plug it into a single 3-pin fan header, then they're all controlled by the same signal and take up less headers that you might have wanted to use for additional fans. Additionally, the way the cables run through the back by default, while neat, means that the bottom-most fan's cable is very unlikely to reach any motherboard socket. I fixed this by instead running it back through the one vertical slit and forward again through the other, which still looks kind of neat but isn't ideal. This problem would also be fine if they were simply also connected the same way their RGB LED signals are connected... Kind of silly.
Still, top marks for the case overall.

I must say that the temperature difference is substantial. CPU ran 8 degrees cooler on CPU-Z stress test on the Wraith spire. Its also rather quiet for its full mesh front and the mesh does indeed stop dust (and cat fur) from entering the case!

For the price this is a great case and it comes with 3 Silent AF Unicorn Poop Fans (really awesome if your Motherboard supports the feature).
Setup was rather easy when it came to the Cable Management.
One thing to note is that each fan has it's own header which can easily remedied by adding two fan splitters (Phanteks PH-CB-Y4P 4-Pin Fan Y-Splitter) to your purchase if you want to daisy chain them and run them of one fan header - It does look way cleaner and is easier to manage.
For the average user the number of drivebays should be sufficient but can be problematic if you have more than one 3.5" HDD.

Again, I reiterate, for the price, this is a pretty decent case with good airflow and good cable management and it is fairly easy to setup :-)

Bought it and found out each fan needs their own fan header on the motherboard and my mb only have 2 headers so I will have to wait a month to buy a new motherboard.

But I did hooked my dad's case up because he had a mb that support enough fan headers and rgb headers and the fans are silent AF and so bright. You can adjust it with a software on the PC to sync, set fan speed and more. Or just use the buttons on the front of the case if ur mb don't have a rgb header.

Well thought out case with good cable management features. Really like the front panel pop on / off mechanism. Easy to clean. Great air flow, with proper cable management there is nothing obstructing airflow from front to back of case. Most surprising thing about the case is how light it is. Most of the weight is from the tempered glass. The case itself can be lifted with a finger. Added fans make the price so much better. As always 10//10 service from Wootware.

It was a breeze to install components into this case and the cable management was easy. The three RGB fans together with the very lightly tinted glass panel look amazing. The fans take up one 5V RGB header and three SYS_FAN headers, so that is something to take note of. Temperatures inside the case at idle stay at about 30 degrees. However, I haven't tested it at load. The case is also a decent size - not too big and not too small. Comes with plenty extra screws. The addition of an anti-sag bracket for the GPU would've been a nice addition.

This is a great midtower case with a lot of space for even the biggest rigs to work in and nice cable management options. The fans also work really well at pulling in lots of air to keep my over clocked components cool and the RGB just makes this a centrepiece to my setup.

This case is really awesome to build in. It comes with built in velcro straps for cable management and I really love the drop and click SSD bays that make it so easy to mount 2 2.5 SSDs. Looks beautiful in my office, I really don't enjoy cases with logos and branding everywhere and this one hits the spot with that. The RGB Leds are fantastic, the various modes are beautiful and compliment the AMD wraith coolers lighting well.

Great case, but comes with few instructions or warning about the massive amounts of cables for the RGB & Fans or where specifically some of them go. I don't have enough space on my motherboard for the case fans + my fans, so have to get a controller or hub now.
You'll definitely need an extra 120mm fan as an exhaust in the rear or take one of the three in the front. A fan splitter is more risky business because it splits the power between 2 or more fans.

Very very good case esp for the price, installation was easy enough, rgb setup was a breeze, CM ML360 AIO is recommended with this case esp with the RGB controller is comes with.

CM ml360 has a hub with a 3 way fan splitter all 3 fans of the case is hooked up to the controller including the AIO 3 fans and still 3 RGB ports opened if you want more RGB and with the CM controller can be setup so the case reset button can controll the RGB lighting and modes.

will have to move the bottom haddrive bays back to its last holes to fit a 360 rad and huge PSU.
will also need to remove the harddrive bays in order to install a big PSU struggled to get the wires in with a 1200w Andyson PSU with harddrive bays intact

A wow case for the price, installation was easy how ever if you have a big modular psu, and 360 rad you will need to remove the hard-drive bay at the bottom and install rad and psu first before the harddrive bay again, harddrive bay can move back how ever you only able to mount the plate on the bottom shroud with two screws if using a 360 rad, this case with a CM ML360 AIO is perfect as you can hookup the case fans with the CM RGB controller and use the reset buttons of the case to control the RGBs and still have 3 more RGB ports open

and a 5 star rating to wootware for their patience with me and forever changing orders

If you have three available fan headers then this case is incredible value out of the box. Otherwise just get a splitter, it'll be neater anyway.

Either way;
- it is beautiful.
- the build quality is incredible.
- the cable management gives it a very clean, minimal interior.

Can't see myself being happier with another case under R2k

(RGB isn't obvious to set up, I need an optional adapter to use the included 3-pin connector.)

Very nice case, Its Spacious and the cable management in it is really good.
Placement of the Hard Drives are great, if you like the clean look inside your case then this is the case to get.
It shows off your components especially when you are doing the whole RGB thing or water cooling.
We weren’t familiar with the cabling for RGB so that took us a long time to figure out but overall the case is great and air flow is really good so far everything is running fairly cool during game play.

This case was easy to build in, feels well-constructed and has some really nice RGB fans that are bright, move a lot of air, and are very quiet. It includes rubber gaskets for the cables to go through which looks better and reduces strain on the cables. There are plenty of 2.5" drive bays and plenty of space for almost any GPU.

Cases are personal preference but I really like this one. I just wish that a rear fan was included, but I moved one of the front fans to the rear to make up for it which worked out perfectly fine.

Overall, great case. Solid choice.

It is an awesome case with awesome capabilities. Won the Gamer’s Nexus “Best case of 2019” award for a reason. Amazing price for what you get, both in the States and from Wootware itself. Would absolutely recommend this case as it is a "budget" price for a premium product.

Overall, for the price, this is a pretty decent case with good airflow and good cable management. It also comes with all screws and other accessories you might need for your build.

However, I've taken away 1 star for the simple reason that each of the three fans in the front of the case requires a fan header. This is fine if you've got standard CPU cooling installed, but the moment you've got a basic liquid cooling setup you're going to be using 2 fan headers right out of the box: one for the radiator fan (if you've got a one fan radiator setup) and one to run the water pump. So, if you've got 1 CPU fan header and 3 System fan headers on your motherboard you're completely screwed in terms of getting the pre-installed fans to run - even more so if you had in mind to add additional case fans somewhere along the line.

For the life of me I cannot understand why Phanteks did not provide the option to run all three front fans through the same SATA power cable which apparently run the fan LEDs. It's not like there isn't enough power to run the whole shebang...

One other caveat: if you've got more than 2 hard drives look elsewhere as this case only supports 2.

So ja, happy with the case, but the front fan header setup is enough to !@#&*( anyone off, especially if you've got limited headers on your mobo and you'd like to sport liquid cooling.

Great budget case, it's definitely worth the price.

-Easy installation with great cable management from the back and space in the PSU shroud to shove cables.
-Hidden hard-drive cage and SDD slots make for an even cleaner setup.
-The LED fans and power switch makes it a beautiful package.
-Ultra-Fine Performance Mesh makes for great airflow.

Extra Note -> Purchase a extra fan to create neutral airflow by using 2 fans in front for intake, 1 at the back and 1 up top for exhausts. It keeps my ryzen on idle at 28*C, at 100% Cpu usage it's at 60*C.

I Highly recommend this Case
