Phanteks Eclipse P600s review - Final Words & Conclusion

Final Words & Conclusion

Ok, it’s time for the conclusion of this review. The Phanteks Eclipse P600S is a well thought-out and equipped case. On the plus side, there is the good cable management system, the compatibility with high-end components and water cooling, as well as the high-quality dust filters. In addition, features such the option to install a second system, the magnetic side panels with silent covers, and the presence of a USB 3.1 type C port on the front panel round off the range.

The Eclipse P600s should offer the best of both worlds: namely, high-airflow operation with high cooling performance, and silent operation with low volume. Especially in high-airflow mode, the cooling performance is considerable even with the factory-fitted fan assembly. The textile mesh ensures a fresh look. The three 140 mm fans can also be operated whisper-quiet. If the solid, soundproof covers for the front and top panel are used, the acoustics improve even further, while the case still offers good cooling performance. Additionally, the Eclipse P600s offers also excellent water-cooling capabilities for its format.

Compared with its sibling model, the Enthoo Evolv X, this chassis lets you save 50 Euros (MSRP). The Eclipse P600s is by no means an inferior case. It’s simply designed differently. Many users like to forego aluminum surfaces, RGB lighting and backside cable covers (which have become redundant anyway, without a glass panel on the right side) and enjoy the money saved. In addition, the Eclipse P600s is even more comfortable to work with. Because Phanteks outwardly uses only a small amount of plastic, having opted mostly for matte steel instead, the Eclipse P600s actually looks quite pricey. However, what can be said of both models, is that the lack of dust protection in the lid and the lack of tool-less drive assembly are certain downsides.

 

Features

The interior not only looks good but is also versatile. So it’s not just the water cooling options, but also the capacity for up to ten 3.5-inch drives bays that’s impressive here. The icing on the cake is the option to install a secondary system in Mini-ITX format inside the case. However, optional accessories are required for this, and other features, such as additional HDD cages or a riser cable may generate additional cost. 

  

 

The Verdict

So if you’re looking for a solid and well-equipped case that’s suitable for both silent builds and high-end builds with water cooling, the Phanteks Eclipse P600S would be an attractive, but not quite affordable candidate. As you know, Phanteks produces very good chassis, and this new model is no exception to this rule. Pay no mind to the fact that it’s marketed as part of the Eclipse series. The Eclipse P600s offers almost all of the advantages of the Enthoo Evolv X and on top of it, and the pricing is more appealing.  The chassis is simply excellent, and the brand offers an interesting concept here, because you have an opportunity to opt for silence or performance depending on how you set up the vents. You also get a brand-new textile mesh that makes sure that the incoming air is filtered. There’s a lot of room, good integration possibilities, no RGB, and an impeccable internal layout. At 139 € with two soundproof steel panels, or 149 € with a tempered glass panel, the Eclipse P600S is clearly a good deal. Summing it up – the whole package deserves a “Top Pick” award. An MSRP of 149 € is not a cheap offer, but you get all the premium stuff here (almost the same as with the Enthoo Evolv X), so it’s definitely worth to consider this offer.
