I can not afford that case, is expensive for me right now.

It's way too expensive. I was talking about the $8 HDD bracket for it.

 

I think that is the top of line Phanteks case

The $175 case includes 3 of them, but I pretty sure if you bought one extra for this case it would fit on the p400, but I would double check

 

look at my list, I only need two 140mm fans for the front.

 

 

 

I hope the brackets can fit with the front fans installed

I am not 100% sure if that bracket even fits on the p400, I am finding out. You will be able to fit front fans no matter what.

 

Also, just to keep options open, you will have 3 hdd's? The s340 would be cheaper for that need.

@RGomez9119 Also, this HDD bracket would fit, but then you would be compromising SSD spots

I have found a photo with the bracket installed.

 

2. Yeah, that bracket is the same model that the manual says.

3. 3 HDD, but maybe in the future I will need another HDD, I want to have room for all.

Okay sweet. Nice evidence there! Maybe it would just be better to buy the bigger one, official p400 one, you had in your cart first. Maybe just buy an $8 one every time you expand. Depends on how much you expand. What do you need all that storage for bro??

one more question

 

Can I install 3x 120mm fans at the front without removing the black plate located at the bottom?

Or I can only fit 2x 140mm, without removing the black plate? (like you)

The third lowest 120mm pan would need to be onthe side of the front panel. You would need to remove that trap door panel thing on the basement to fit 360mm in a row. If you need to move that panel then there is a good chance you would need to move the drive cage in the bottom, also.

I think you should be able to squeeze a fan in there though. Looking at my case, the 120mm fan on my heat sink would fit.

nah, with 2x 140mm front, I'm good..

i'm doing some math...

 

Phanteks with add ons is more expensive than NZXT H440.

 

I have added to the phanteks 4 140mm and 2 120mm, led strip, bracket.... god....

Yeah, if you are buying fans it gets real expensive real quick. I spent more on 2 140mm fans and a LED strip than I did on my entire case lol. Then again, I spent more on a single monitor than I did on my 1080 ftw, so maybe my priorities are skew.

 

Buy the H440, you will not regret it.

the top.

Can you install fans at the top without removing the fan filter?

Yes, the top of the case has a magenetic fan filter that doesnt get in the way of anything, it'll just lay on top of the screw heads. You can fit 2 120mm or 2 140mm fans. My Noctua 12s would leave enough room for fans on the ceiling of the case.

I'm starting to love this case. I will buy it with 1 bracket, 2m led strip to cover the top, front, bottom and back.

can you confirm me again that you can turn off the led of the bottom and the led strip by pressing the led button?

1. Bracket?

2. Not really.

3. Phanteks customer support is way better. I'd rather have better customer support. In fact, the fan controller on mine may be broken, but it also may be the fan. Phanteks is sending a replacement for free. So.. yknow.

? It's my fan controller. One of my fans is acting up, but don't know if it's the controller or the fan.

what are you talking about?.

I'm talking about the P400, the model that don't have the button to control the fans.

But, it has a button to change the led color and I want to know if the leds can be turned off?

Yes. Technically. There is a small connector that you unplug in the front.

I know, I don't want to unplug anything.

I just want to know if you can turn off the leds by pressing the button, or doing double clic or something..

You hold down the LED button to turn the LEDs off.

if you turn off the led and you turn off your computer, when you turn on the computer, the leds will turn on too, or they will be stay turned off?.
