Phanteks Eclipse G500A Mid Tower Case, Fanless, DRGB, Black

I absolutely love this pc case I got this after doing some research I also seen this in a list GamersNexus made I researched a BUNCH of cases this one being the one I personally liked the most it being aesthetically pleasing but I got this mainly because it's built around airflow and cooling performance I chose this because of how well it performs and how well the components stay cool the price is great one of the best for the price and the 140mm fans are quiet and work perfectly I love that it has a usb C port it can fit an Eatx motherboard if you'd like with an anti sagg bracket for your gpu in the back works great and the room you get for cable management is perfect this thing paired with my thermalright cooler is mad chill especially for a i7-13700KF I'm never seeing above 80°C and that is only in cinebench running a stress test for 30mins straight 100% load ALL CORES gaming on avg temps will be mid 50's and most low 60's this is with a slight undervolt idles in high 20's

This has been a fantastic case! I've had it for almost 2 years now and I just love it. The big selling point for me are the side panels are on hinges, which makes accessing the inside a super breeze. It's also very cable management friendly, for those that want that clean look ;) It has a 7 fan capacity, which is plenty for what I need. Temps are still really low even when under load. Over all, just a really good case and I'm happy with my investment :)

Well first off with a little background, this is my first pc build in 4 years and it was very fun! specs: r5 2600, x470 tuf, 32gb vengeance pro, 500gb wd black nvme, 1tb crucial nvme sapphire nitro+ 6700xt, a 650w seasonic, and a corsair h115i 280mm. Most of these parts are from my older build in a corsair 275r case. This case is pretty beefy for a mid tower, at about a inch or so wider, 2 inches or so taller, and longer. This case has plenty of space for my gpu with about maybe 2 and a quarter inches from the front fans, and thats with a gpu length of about a foot and some change. AIO fitment is great aswell, even after installing my aio I had plenty of space to cable manage up top still aswell and space to route the 8 pin up top. As for this being the airflow version it came with 4 fans, the front 3 daisy chained together from factory, which makes cable managing so much easier, front panel has 2 usb ports, a type c, and a single combined audio jack like for some apple earbuds. The packaging is incredible, the case sleeve, the packing materials, they really made sure the case wasnt going to arrive in bad shape. In the box comes the case, and a little box, of which when opened reveals HDD cages and within those cages are more parts, the screws for the case, and the parts for the vertical mount gpu (exlcuding the riser cable). The case is really easy to build in with lots of rear cable management options, But my favorite part about this case is all the swinging panels, the glass swings out and is removable, the metal side panel swings out and is removable, the interior panel that covers most of the wiring from the front panel is removable, and the bottom swing panel also swings down for easy access to the power supply. The pcie slots are thumbscrews which made it real easy to remove, aswell as the bracker for the psu is thumbscrews, which made installing the psu very easy. The singular gripe I have about this case is the power supply shroud Personally I dont like showing off the power supply, and wish they would have included a sliding mechanism that allows you to show it off or not, or a cover. Id hope they manufacture one as a extra or start giving it in the box to new costumers, but it makes sense to have it exposed as some psu have bright LEDs and such on them, Personally not a fan but since my psu is all black except for the name on the side, ill let this slide. The airflow this case provides is really great aswell and the included fans move lots of air. TLDR very good cable management, airflow, build quality, packaging and attention to detail.

Extremely nice tower super cool great airflow and tones of room to build in and hide cables would highly recommend

great case..perfect size... plenty of space for lighting, fans...coolers. plus u can see inside really well.

Fan Controller is junk, cables are proprietary, availability of cables that will work with their stuff nonexistent. Color button and Mode button do nothing. Documentation is abysmal. With a 280 rad up top anything over 30mm thick is problematic. I assembled my build completely which included 3 additional M25 fans turned it on and all worked well for a day or two. When I noticed a spot on the case was hot burned me hot to the touch where the light strip goes in to the front of the case so I unplugged it immediately when I removed it the cable broke right off basically fell apart when I attempted to remove it. From there it all went downhill. After a restart, now all the fans are stuck on mostly white with a some leds stuck on red and yellow. My other RGB devices are working fine but everything plugged in to the case hub is foo barred. Thinking the included hub must be toast and a desperate attempt to fix things I went out and got a A-RGB controller and connected them directly to the mobo A-RGB header and same thing stuck on white with a few red and yellow. It's as if they are burned out as a matter of fact the led strip top front has on 4 of the 10 leds lite. I can only assume I connected everything properly (Abysmal manual) but really there is only one way with the cables provided. 1st you daisy chain all fans together and make one connection to the supplied hub with supplied cable the other two ports is for the case led strips then you connect the sata pwr cable from the hub to your PSU (labeled). Finally, you plug in the cable labeled "PC In" to your mobo A-RGB 5v header. ATM I have completely disassembled everything and bench tested every device individually which did not help and I have to see what happens with Phanteks support. One way or the other I'll be back to update this review. One thing I know for sure I have built dozens of water-cooled PCs over 20 years and no novice at putting things together and this is very disappointing… oops, Okay so that two things…Couple weeks later Phanteks has accepted responsibility shipped me 6 new fans, controller and two led strips and apologized for the inconvenience. Once the dialog was started all went smoothly I changed my 1 star to 4 for this reason support is everything in Tech these days. The deduction of 1 star remains due to rad support. I recommend against using a 140 mm wide rad of any thickness in the top of this case due to lack of space between it and the motherboard. If I had it to do all over again I would use a 120mm wide and there would be no issue.
