I would like to thank Phanteks for supplying the review sample.


The Phanteks Eclipse P500A we are reviewing today is positioned as a premium mid-tower case that combines high airflow performance with style. It features their Ultra-Fine Performance Mesh front panel for optimal airflow with dust filtration. Based on the award-winning P600S and Evolv X chassis, it is also the bigger brother to the P300A and P400A, and available in a black version without lighting or either a black or white variant with ARGB elements and a built-in fan controller.

Packaging


Phanteks ships the Eclipse P500A in a brown cardboard box with the name of the case on the front and an outlined interior shot on the back. Both smaller sides continue that design, with one sticker mentioning the color of the case under a bar code.


The chassis itself is protected extremely well with cardboard re-enforced foam spacers, and a cloth bag of the same color further protects it from scratches and dents during shipping.
