Hello there, so ive been thinking of upgrading my case from a phanteks something, to possibly

 

1) Phanteks Enthoo Pro M

 

Or

 

2) Phanteks Eclipse P400

 

The reasons i like these cases is because 

a) Giant power supply shroud (Easy to hide cables) 

b) side panel that only shows my components (My current case, it's a phanteks Enthoo pro) has a side panel and a second triangle shaped side panel that shows their logo and the place where i have my HDD's, search it up)

c) I think there both at around $100 usd. 

 

If you guys can suggest which one of these are better, or any cases that have what i want that's be great. Thank in advance

Yes i can agree with you on that, but one thing i dislike is not having my radiator at the front. It's just not possible since i use 2 HDD's and one SSD

How's it been man? I'd go with the Pro M. It's really up to personal taste and features though.

Hey, haven't seen you in a while ?, it's been great how about you, and honestly i think i will go with the Pro M

I can vouch for the P400. I actually have 2 different ones. For my build I have the P400S with the acrylic window. Its very solidly built and has great cable management. My wife's on the other hand looks absolutely superb. She's running the P400 tempered glass edition and its well worth the extra couple of bucks. 

 

Here are pics of both our builds.

Same old, same old lol. And yeah, the Pro M is a great quality case. I've seen a couple of reviews about it.

See, one thing i like about the Pro M is the side panel, it's pretty big and since their aren't any drive bays like the normal enthoo pro, it let's me install my radiator at the front, while still being able to showcase it. Honestly this looks like a pretty tight race.

That's true and is your radiator RGB or some color LED? Are you getting the one with tempered glass that fills the whole side panel?

For the P400 yes i will, like that i can show my radiator, but yea i switched out my radiator fans for a red led corsair fans, so i guess they are kinda LED, and then the part that actually touches my CPU, it's led but i have it set to white because the red looks awful. It's does not look red, it looks like a very dim pink.
