I was hesitant about upgrading my current rig with a new case because in the end aesthetics don't matter and it's 'just something to hold the parts'.

My oh my was I wrong. This case is brilliant! My build has vastly superior cooling than it ever had before (only running the stock fans provided), it's quiet, looks super sleek, amazing build quality (rigid with great airflow) and has amazing built-in cable management ports. I can only say I was stupid to initially skimp out on a case and get the crappy one I had. Well worth the money, couldn't recommend more!

This case totally solved my gpu overheating issue. The airflow is unbelievable. Well worth the money This case totally solved my gpu overheating issue. The airflow is unbelievable. Well worth the money

Looks stunning, Built to last, Fans and wires that come with case are already preset for use. Cable Management area is Horrible. No space for it Looks stunning, Built to last, Fans and wires that come with case are already preset for use. Cable Management area is Horrible. No space for it

Good solid case, love that it comes with three fans. Did add an extra in the exhaust rather than move one from the front. Decent cable management possible for someone who hasn't built a box in 15+ years (before even rudimentary cable routing grommets etc) so really happy. RGB was very plug and play as well. Some of the thumbscrews were a little bit funky, but no drama. Good solid case, love that it comes with three fans. Did add an extra in the exhaust rather than move one from the front.

Plenty of space, all the bits provided, clear instructions. RGB lights look great! Highly recommend. Plenty of space, all the bits provided, clear instructions. RGB lights look great! Highly recommend.

Was planning to get the NZXT 510 as I thought it looked better, but the guys at pbtech warned me of high temps. This case actually looks pretty good and has amazing airflow. To top it off my Ryzen 3700x with the stock cooler doesn't get to 70C under consistent load which I am happy with.

The Phanteks 400a_d is a great tower to build on. The fans that come with it work perfectly well and the rgb is good. However, the fans wires are all thread through the the top of the case which really isn't a great decision because the bottom fan has barely any length to it. An easy solution is just to remove the removable ssd slots and thread the wires through there.

The tempered glass looks premium and is easy to remove with the thumb screws. It is kept on with rubber such that you don't need to worry about it falling and breaking every time you remove it.

The tempered glass looks premium and is easy to remove with the thumb screws. It is kept on with rubber such that you don't need to worry about it falling and breaking every time you remove it. The airflow is great with the mesh panel which is easy to remove, though does need a bit of force to come off. The back comes off with some thumb screws which are actually quite tough to screw / unscrew so a screwdriver might be needed.

The case is quite spacious for your cable management needs and even comes with some valcro wraps pre-installed in the case (as well as spare zip ties) to help you with that. The two rubber slots are a nice feature so you know your cables aren't going to be wearing across a metal cut in the case and also keeps them in place very well.

Overall this is probably one of the best cases to buy for any mid tower build. I would heavily recommend it for its premium build quality, great airflow, sleek design, and plentiful features to help your building. The only real negative I can think of is that the mesh design probably lets more noise leek out then others but regardless, is still quite quiet for me and is pretty much inaudible when wearing headphones anyway.

Great case, very nice to look at and plenty of room for my components. Cable management was a bit tricky but it worked out eventually. Great case, very nice to look at and plenty of room for my components. Cable management was a bit tricky but it worked out eventually.

A very clean looking case that will suit many workspaces/gaming desks/living rooms. The RGB front fans look awesome. Velcro straps on the inside of the back panel make cable management simple (I didn't end up needing to use any cable ties for my build because of them). It was a little tricky connecting some connectors (the power connectors in the top left of the motherboard in particular). You will also need to be mindful of the height of your CPU cooler if you're using an air cooler as well - it can only support CPU coolers up to 160mm in height. Plenty of space for large GPUs though.
