Unpopular opinion: 

It looks absolutely horrendous.

So, the included fans are noisy, not too bad if you already have fans. Imma look at CanadaComputers to see when they'll have stock. I might switch since I've been looking at the mesh front panel for my P400 and really can't have it at a reasonable price (though I would get the base model, not the DRGB).

EDIT ; right ... and now they DO have it in stock (last time I checked 2 weeks ago, they didn't)

https://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=6_108&item_id=164604

Price: $99 for 1 fan at front and back, or $119 for 3 140mm D-RGB front fans

Shares the exact same internal frame and accessories (anti sag GPU bracket, vertical mount bracket, good cable management options, HDD cage, USB Type C) except the top bracket for radiators is no longer removable. Still supports 420 rad at the front and/or 360 at the top*. 

However at 1500rpm, these 3 140mm fans are loud (44 dba). Three 140mm fans probably dont need to run that fast to keep 95% of systems cool, but it's something to note. be quiet! 500DX is actually the closest competitor as of right now due to it also having 3 140mm fans (41 dba) ,and that's smaller cheaper and quieter at full RPM speed (though, the Pure Wings 2 only spin at 1000rpm) 

I still really like this case (I think the interior far outclasses the P400A), but we've been getting a LOT of airflow cases recently (Upcoming Lancool 2 Mesh Review!) which makes it less exciting. 

It looks like a downgraded P600S but still overpriced for all the features you lose imo

@Meganter what features do you lose exactly? Only One I listed was the removable top bracket. I guess the option for silencing foam is a feature but beyond that, all the exterior paneling are better defined as Aesthetics and not features of the case IMO. 

@TVwazhere really does take cases seriously holy shit.

But

Bu... Meshify c best case.

You lose the fan hub and 2 HDD trays (not like I use any HDD though) and I do like the silence/airflow mode. You do gain on the RGB side I guess.

Aesthetic is personal taste but they do look close enough, the P500A feel smoother on the front compared to the P600S.

fan hub

Ah, that's true I had forgotten about the fan hub. 

My counter to that would be this is a case more focused on airflow, and Fan hubs are better suited for Watercoling where you have lots of fans that all need to spin at the same speed because they're on a RAD, where as three front fans can usually use a 3 to 1 fan spliter and plug into one header on the motherboard and they dont need to worry about matching the rear exhaust or CPU fan speeds.

2 HDD trays (not like I use any HDD though)

The reason you just listed is the reason why it was omitted. Not many users use more than two 3.5" drives, and including them would only add to the cost.  Plus they do sell these so it's not like you couldnt get them if you really wanted them

I do like the silence/airflow mode

I do too, but most users of the forums are enthusiasts, and most enthusiasts demand the most performance, performance in this metric being airflow. So most people using the P600S (myself included if it ends up in my future build) would leave the front plate off at all times.

One of the biggest problems I have with recoomending a case to someone. "I want a case that looks good" Okay well what looks good to you??

Usually it ranges anywhere from a six sided box like the NZXT H500 to the Cougar Conquer, so that's always gonna be a determine factor. Do you like the P500A look, the P600S panels or the Evolv X all aluminum panels? That's an area I never touch on because it's not my job to tell a user what looks good to them, its actually the other way around

I always keep it on because I like it to be quiet (not the brand :P) and my temp are still very good even at 100% load and overclocked, though to be fair I have Noctua fans everywhere I could place them

Well aesthetically speaking I like all those 3 I'd say I prefer the global look of the P600S but I prefer the front of the P500A.

I do agree, the Overall look of the P600S is the best looking, but the Price to airflow of the P500A is Pahnteks's newest Airflow specific case (I consider the P300 and P400's to be refreshes) which is why I was hyped when I saw it as CES this year. 

Regardless, this is a good year for Airflow enthusiasts, between Silverstone, Phanteks, Lain Li, Thermaltake, Coolermaster and even Corsair and be quiet!, they've all been reverting back to cases that actually deliver enthusiast level airflow required to keep our 10900k/2080ti's cool which is something we've wanted for nearly two years now. (Now if only Fractal would release a Meshify C2 and S3 based off the Define 7 layouts...) (also NZXT)

Stocks are so low here that I can't even find a decent mATX case

Update: GN confirms both great airflow and loud fans (44dab @1300rpm) , however the real standout here is setting the fans to 50% speed (875rpm) yields 36dba, but still maintains similar levels of airflow which made it the clear winner in noise normalized tests, meeting or exceeding the P400a, while being nearly the best in GPU thermals other than cases that have direct GPU cooling like the SL600M, Zonda-O and Lian Li O11 series with fans at the bottom.
