An Even Better Case From Phanteks

2019-05-31
special thanks to our sponsors for sending us to Computex 2019 what's going on everyone we were here at the fan tech suite for Computex 2019 and we've got a really cool case we're gonna focus a dedicated video on because I think you guys are gonna really like this one from both a value perspective and a functional perspective so this is a familiar chassis it's the P 400 more particularly the P 408 and the a stands for you guessed it air flow so you can see this entire front panel is basically one big a metal mesh panel and they were telling me how technically difficult this was to do not only to hole punch a curved surface like this and to have these very fine you can see specific cuts there that that kind of wrapped with the contours of the chassis so this is I believe around 50 to 55 percent hole punches so it's going to be a pretty porous I know it looks a little blocked off here the white paint is a little thicker so that might reduce the porosity just a bit more but because it's such a large surface sir you see the entire front panel come from this side here cough so you can see straight on literally the entire front panel here is one big metal mesh panel so even if it is rather restrictive the entire thing is going to a lot air to be pulled in so you stick two or three fans up front and we expect excellent airflow capabilities and we'll be sure to review this in a dedicated video talking about thermal performance how porous it actually is so stay tuned for that you can see internally here it's the same P 400 you guys know and love with a few tiny changes at the rear so if you want that native vertical graphics card support that's been pretty popular as of late there are no longer there's little frame little bars that would normally you know have to be cut if you want to use like a cable mod kit or whatever like a vertical bracket fan tech sells their own that will work with this and you can remove this entire rear PCIe slot cover window and replace it with a vertical kit that they have and that you can actually buy that kit for like 30 or 40 bucks it's it's pretty cheap and the riser cable is built very well you know individual sleeving so it's very sturdy in the run I thought you guys would really like this one because something I haven't said yet coming in at $69.99 really good price it's actually cheaper than the original P 400 which is pretty incredible and this is this is a this is a contender folks I can't wait to building it and test out that airflow that they have been touting so much you can see this one here it's a more expensive model by about 20 bucks so 89 us for this one and it's gonna come with three of these addressable RGB fans and then you're gonna have that built-in RGB controller you can control it all really by the case itself so it's all nice and integrated and yeah they've just got a just blinged out in there looking nice and fancy you can see in this one they do have that vertical bracket and it's recessed actually quite a bit from the tgd left panel so shouldn't expect too detrimental performance here thermally for the graphics card so looking really good I like especially the cheaper version because $70 for a case like this is super competitive it's a competitive space to begin with but when you have this much functionality and you have the backing of the original P 400 which I thought was a really good case to begin with this is exciting so that's why we dedicated a video like this to it I hope you guys have enjoyed this coverage another video from fantex is coming out very soon we're gonna show you guys all the rest of the stuff in the suite because he will have been facing this little corner right here and the room is very big thanks for watching we'll catch the next one this is science studio thanks for learning with us
