    Introduction

    The range of custom computer cases has been growing over the past several years with the inception of tempered glass side panels and coinciding nicely with the absence of the external drive bay.  This new generation of case designs has really changed how people view a computer chassis and even caused several companies to struggle with “what to do” with all the extra space.

    In this review we will be looking at the Phanteks Eclipse P400 Tempered Glass Edition.  This is a Mid-Tower case that is virtually identical to the original with the same great style and design now with a tempered glass side panel.  Inside the case features a conservative layout that can be customized to match your needs.  If that wasn’t enough the case also features a new RGB lighting control with 10 different colors or can be controlled by motherboards supporting ASUS Auroa or MSI Mystic Light.  The LED color control is also transferable to Phanteks LED lighting strips which can add more style and versatility to your builds.
