It got replaced when I got my NZXT H500i which is still the easiest case I have built in to this day.
P300P400 was a pizza oven. Steve from GN bashed them so hard about airflow and it seems they have listened.www.gamersnexus.net/hwreviews/3511-phanteks-p400a-digital-rgb-case-review-airflow-mesh-panel-testing
And received a best case award from them in the year end review
I'd prefer it have some 2.5" inserts for the 3.5 bays instead of a behind the motherboard mount. The glass side panel looks nice but is kinda hard to handle. It has nowhere to put PSU cables really besides the HDD bays if you aren't using a modular PSU. It's a bit of a pain to get to the USB headers and audio connections due to the bottom of the case being walled off and the management holes are RIGHT UP on the bottom of the board.
One other thing I didn't notice right away, the top panel connections for audio and usb do not have a very good fit and finish. It's hard to put cables in there, know when they are in all the way, and it feels kinda wobbly.
What it does well is keep a simple build of a full sized ATX board with an m.2 drive cool and look reasonable for a slight price premium over pure budget cases. If you want 2nd and 3rd SATA drives or more than one other expansion card I'd avoid it. I also would not use it without a modular PSU. Not a good box for someone who messes with their build occasionally.
I could really careless about a 5.25 bay optical media is dead if I need to read one i have a slim external that I pull out
