Introduction
I would like to thank
Phanteks for supplying the review sample.
We are reviewing the Phanteks Eclipse P300, which is launching today. It is a smaller brother to the P400 and aims to offer high-quality options for the entry-level segment. Even so, it offers some of the elements we have seen on much more expensive Phanteks cases, like the expandable RGB feature, alongside the RGB power LED, high-quality glass side panel, and ample use of metal - while minimizing the need for plastic. So let's dive right into this review!

Packaging
Phanteks packs the Eclipse P300 into a plain brown cardboard box with an image of the chassis on front, alongside the name. On the rear are a blow-up diagram, while the sides go into all the usual detail in regards to specifications and some marketing elements.
Thick Styrofoam spacers hold the P300 in place and protect it from any damage, while a plastic bag is meant to keep scratches and fingerprints away.
