Additionally, the P500A digital looks great, and comes with three ARGB 140mm fans pre-installed and cable managed. The case comes with an integrated PCB that can control the ARBG fans, however, you can connect a single ARGB header on your motherboard to control the LEDs through software.
The thermals in the case are great, as the mesh front and triple 140mm fan intake supply plenty of fresh air over all of the components. At max speed, the fans make a noticeable amount of noise, but with any audio running on speakers or headphones, it is a non-issue.
The only portion of the case that I wanted a little more from Phanteks was that the three included fans each had a separate header and the case did not come with a splitter or fan controller. The P300A had an integrated fan controller that I was able to salvage and run the case fans, but I would have been out of luck if I hadn’t had the P300A already, as my motherboard wouldn’t have had enough fan headers to fun the two 120mm fans for the AIO, three case intake fans, and the single exhaust fan on the back. I would recommend picking up a splitter or a fan controller if you want to be able to use all three case fans and any exhaust.
Overall, the build quality of the case is great. The magnetic close tempered glass hinged panel is a nice quality of life upgrade from the thumbscrews on the P300A. The sliding plastic cable routing covers are fine, they don’t really do much more than normal openings in any case, but the case does provide plenty of options to run cables as needed. The option to mount the GPU vertically is nice, however, it would be nice to see a gen 4 PCIe riser from Phanteks instead of gen 3 or having to use a riser from a different manufacturer that may or may not have mounting holes that line up.
I would absolutely recommend this case to anyone that wants a good looking case with amazing thermals with included ARGB fans. Plenty of room made for a quick and easy build, and the various cable routing ports provided a clean looking build.

As far as looks and aesthetics go, I think it's a great looking case. I like the white and black scheme on this one and the RGB really takes it to another level. I think the only issue I have is unique to my situation, my psu is a bit small in the case and I can see all the excess cables I have stuffed in the basement, haha, but I'm not unhappy about that because I know this case is meant to be able to hold beefy PSUs.
Now for the building experience. Building my PC in this case was very smooth. There is more than enough room in the back for cable management and the built in velcro strips help a ton. It was east to install all of my phanteks fans on the rear and top as well. As for the plastic panels that slide open for the motherboard power and such, I don't think they were particularly useful. They're made to hide cables, but they're still too close to really work. Plus, I can't even set them all to open because they would guillotine the fan cables that come with the case. So I would have preferred the standard rubber grommets.
Finally, the most important aspect is functionality. That, in my opinion, is where this case really excels. The airflow is phenomenal. The metal mesh in the front is precisely designed to function as an easy to clean dust filter and to not restrict airflow. It works beautifully. It also comes with a removable dust filter for the PSU and at the top. This is also quite a large case, I fit the three 140mm fans at the front as well as in the rear, and a 360mm aio in the top and there's still plenty of room to spare. It also fits any size GPU. The case is especially built to be able to mount a mini-itx motherboard on the roof for a dual PC set up for streaming or whatever else. There is ample room for custom water loops if that's what you want to do. The front and back panels are very easy to remove, you don't need to use any tools to remove them. The only functionality issue that can be improved upon is the plastic panels that can slide and are supposed to hide the cables. I already mentioned them earlier, though. Another minor flaw is that the three fans that come with the case are cheaper versions of the regular Phanteks SK series fans, and they run a touch louder than them for some reason, too.
In conclusion, this is an outstanding case. Very few cases are going to be better than this. In fact, the only alternative I was considering was the Lian Li O11 Dynamic. For the $140 price point, I firmly believe this is the best case you can get. Well-earned 5 stars.
It has met and exceeded all of my expectations. The case material is a sturdy metal and doesn't feel cheap. It is very well designed to maximize airflow through the system, which helps with cooling.
The room inside is great and I was able to fit the reservoir/ pump combo, radiator, three additional fans, and my Sapphire 290x GPU without it looking too cluttered. I have six fans installed, there's came with the case.
The back of the case is also well designed and allows for excellent cable organization, which I found to be a nice feature. You can quickly and easily secure any loose cables or wires with multiple velcro straps. Good amount of room to work with. The case door also allows for quick access to internal components, a solid feature.
I also appreciated the case lighting that came installed. A great selection of modes and colors without the rainbow vomit. There are three RGB fans I still need to connect.
