in the video description down below here at fantex we're checking out the eclipse
0:07
P400 this is a pretty affordable case
0:10
it's at $69 and it features a ton of stuff I
0:14
don't really think you normally see at a $69 price point so it's all steel
0:18
construction it has a basement it has an RGB controller there's rubber grommets
0:22
it has SSD mounts in the back of the motherboard tray not things you're used
0:26
to seeing by default the RGB controller which is kind of tucked away under the
0:30
front of the top of the bezel of the case is able to control the RGB of the
0:35
ring around the power button and an underglow on the front of the case and
0:39
then you can add LED strips to it if you want to add more stuff and then it can
0:43
control all those as well the rest of the outside of the case is pretty
0:46
self-explanatory on the top you've got two USB 3.0 plugs headphone and
0:50
microphone jacks as well the left side has a large window cutout and then the
0:54
right side's relatively plain the panels do have thumb screws that hang on them
0:59
when you try to remove it which is great I love those fantastic and then we move
1:03
on to the inside there's that basement that I talked about earlier which is
1:06
kind of a grill style basement so you can see through it a bit but it's still
1:09
a cool looking kind of basement setup there's a panel near the front where you
1:15
can remove that and then remove the hard drive Bays that are under it and extend
1:19
your radiator support from a 240 or 280 to 360 mm radiator so you can pack a lot
1:24
of cooling in here as well speaking of cooling you can install two fans up in
1:28
the top either 120 or 140 mm fans and
1:31
one 120 mm fan in the back it also includes two fans one in the back and
1:36
one in the front to keep gunk out of your case you got a bunch of filters at
1:39
the top there's a long magnetic filter protecting your top area the power
1:43
supply has a removable filter on Rails and then the front of the case for the
1:47
front intakes at the top and bottom of the front panel there's two uh little
1:52
filter slidey rail things in terms of cable management you've got cutouts
1:56
along the bottom and the top for your headers or your CPU power whatever you
1:59
need there and then the right hand side has rubber grommets then moving to the
2:03
back of the case you've got some velcro straps for your main channel of cables
2:07
and wires which is fantastic and then you also see your two 2 and 1/2 in SSD
2:12
trays on the back of the motherboard and then that hard drive bay in the bottom
2:16
left hand corner that we previously talked about with two 3 and 1 half inch hard drive Bays trays it's fine if
2:22
you're more into quiet they also have the p400s or the silent Edition this has
2:26
covers on the top blocking those fan slots if you do want to install fans
2:30
there it also comes with dust filters which are individual so you can have one
2:33
of the covers installed or both of the covers installed whatever you want it
2:37
also has sound dampening material on the inside on the inside of the panel and
2:41
you can decide whether or not you want a window if you go with no window the
2:45
panel is all sound damping material if you don't it just goes around the window
2:48
it also has a three-speed fan controller which can control up to six fans all
2:53
right guys let me know in the comments down below what you think I think this is a pretty aggressive price point but
2:57
that's ultimately up to you again this is in USD just in case you're confused
3:01
about the pricing it's like $687 Canadian dollars I think I don't
3:05
know at this point we'll see how the dollar goes thanks for watching guys by
3:09
the way thank you to Squarespace for bringing us here as well if you guys want to make a website for whatever
3:13
reason I don't know if you're going to like individually sleeve cables and you want to make a store or something they
3:17
have a Commerce module so you can sell stuff on there as well they have
3:20
templates so if you're really bad at aesthetic things they can just kind of
3:23
handle that for you which is great if you're also really bad at making
3:26
websites they have live chat support 24/7 or Live email support 247 so yeah
3:33
