Posted May 19, 2017 So i am going to be getting a new case and i am on a budget and i have nailed it down to these 2 cases, And i can't decide what to get (You can suggest any case) Both of the cases are decent airflow, And both have good cable management, But what the P400 has over the Masterbox 5 is 2 top mounted 140mm Fans, Where the masterbox 5 only has 1, Other then that both are pretty much the same, But the Phantek p400 also has a LED strip on the bottom front, And also has velcro straps in the back for cable management, So i can't decide so i have come to you guys to decide for me!

Posted May 19, 2017 Personally I am not a fan of Red, but I prefer how clean the inside of the Phantek is along with the TG side panel. That would be my choice out of the two; I think I would enjoy cable management more in that case as well.

Posted May 19, 2017 Fan doesn't matter much, the main question is if YOU want LEDs and if you want the extra velcro straps (for me it doesn't matter since I bought a few hundred velcro straps ) but for you it might matter.

Posted May 19, 2017 I've got the P400s TG myself and it's an absolutely stunning case and a pleasure to build in. I would totally recommend it over the Masterbox 5. You won't be disappointed.

Go with the P400. My wifes first case was the Masterbox 5 and its alright. Its a nice case for a media center in my opinion. Which is what we are using it for now. But the P400 is what we are both running after she saw mine and fell in love with it. Awesome to build in with tons of filters, good cable management, and more room than you'll actually know what to do with. If you want pics of our builds just message me.
