As previously mentioned, the front is where we see the I/O, which are hidden by a flip-down panel to keep the overall aesthetics consistent. The reality is that you will likely flip this up and leave it for life but it does look cool.
Thankfully, this new material is durable too, and even running our fingers across it with a decent amount of pressure didn't see it deform or catch like you might assume it would, plus there's no way to scratch it like you might with a metal or glass panel. While the P600S supports dual systems, you'll need a few extra components to do this, as they're not included in the box. To start with, the second system is limited to mini-ITX motherboards, with Phanteks offering an ITX upgrade kit that includes a motherboard mount that sits in the roof of of the case and sports its own power button. You'll also need Phanteks' 90cm riser cable extender, which will allow you to mount a discrete GPU for the second system vertically on the PSU cover - not needed if you intend to have a low-power second system with no discrete GPU, but the manual covers this upgrade in a decent amount of detail. Specifications Like the front of the case, you have a second magnetically attached panel with a fabric mesh underneath. The top panel also includes the same sound dampening form to ensure silent operation when the top panel is left on. Buyer's Remorse - Authorization to return the unit must be made within 30 days from receipt of product.The left side has 2 useable cable channels which are held in place with double looped Velcro strips.
The PSU also sports a removable dust filter of its own that pulls out easily from the rear, and the case is raised a couple of centimetres using rubber-bottomed feet. The 52cm depth and 51cm height plus CPU and GPU limits are identical or close to it compared to the Evolv X, with the main difference, apart from the odd design tweak, being the use of steel rather than aluminium, adding a couple of kilograms to the weight. Phanteks announced the launch of the new Eclipse P600s and Evolv X Matte White Edition along with the Gen4 PCI-e Riser Cables. Its stunning all-new matte white look makes the Evolv X and Eclipse P600s a perfect combination for color-themed builds while maintaining a wide range of flexibility and premium materials.Both side panels are completely tool-free and secure to the case with four strong magnets. A nice touch with said magnets is the use of a thin rubber layer on top of each meaning the panels close with a satisfying dull noise rather than a clatter. These side panels make everything from building to upgrading very easy and as previously mentioned, it is my go-to choice for side panel design.

Its aesthetic additions like this one really gives the case some personality.
Moving to the other side of the box is another white line drawing, but this time of its internal layout. This is partly thanks to a new mesh material that replaces the usual perforated metal and is made up of woven strands, cutting down on airflow restriction by using wider openings while still acting as a dust filter. However, there's a removable dust filter behind the front section too, as the mesh sits in the front of the case, while there are additional vents in the sides that provide much needed airflow when the front vent is closed. Phanteks provided us with the first colour variant, with a solid side panel. Most cases are fitted with tempered glass panels nowadays (including the other 3 versions of the P600S), so it is surely something unusual. The P600S from PHANTEKS Offers Both Form & FunctionThe first thing you notice about the P600S from Phanteks is the exterior. The large side panel in tinted glass comes attached to the case with hinges and swings outwards to the sides. The same is true of the right-side steel panel. The inner part of the front can be easily removed, as can part of the roof. Both elements are equipped with insulating material. Behind it there lies a fine mesh made of a synthetic fibre, this is not just eye-catching - it also serves to provide additional sound insulation if the covers are left off to improve airflow. The net is magnetically attached at the front. Located behind this is the dust filter. Towards the front, we have space for three 120mm or 140mm fans, of which you get two pre-installed 140mm fans. The fans included do an excellent job for airflow out of the box but adding another is only going to bolster that further. There is a cut-out on the PSU shroud to allow for room with beefy radiators or, of course, a reservoir. You can mount a front rad up to 360 or 280mm at the front, giving you plenty of options inside for an elaborate custom loop.Overall, the Phanteks Eclipse P600s is one of the best cases on the market. While I still lean towards the Corsair 5000-series, Phanteks are still high up on my list. The P600s excels in thermal performance when configured correctly and the option to have my system as a stealthy silent beast is one I favor. At the top of the P600S is the included Phanteks fan controller which has support for up to 3 x 3 pin fans and 5 x 4 pin PWM fans. You can expand the number of fans using splitters as long as the total power doesn’t exceed 4A. If you are familiar with the Evolv, the P600s and its spacious interior is going to feel great. This is a bit taller than a few other mid-tower options but that extra room goes a long way, especially when building. The layout inside is logical and everything is exactly where it needs to be. Opening the included accessory box reveals a lot of extras for your P600S. Below is a list of everything that Phanteks has included: Phanteks feature their double strap cable management system, a set of simple velcro straps strategically placed to make cable managing your PC extremely easy. The straps and clasps can all be removed with a screwdriver meaning you can do more elaborate management if you need.
Towards the top of the P600s sits the included fan hub that has enough room for more fans if you kit it out and the pre-installed fans already run to the hub. Phanteks has also done away with the plastic grommets and went with a plastic sliding panel instead. Personally, I much prefer the look of these panels over the traditional grommet, but did wish they were done in steel or aluminum matching the rest of the P600S accessories.
Phanteks has decided to cater to a range of enthusiasts with the Eclipse P600S and not just in terms or air or water. It's included two magnetic panels that sit in the roof and front section, which are easily removable and allow the case to switch between low-airflow/low-noise and higher airflow/more noise configurations. It manages this without making it look like it fell out of the ugly tree in either configuration too, which is quite a feat. Power supply: unlimited (without 3.5" HDD cages installed), 245 mm (with 2 HDD trays) and 195 mm (with 4 of them) Cleaning this new fabric mesh is simple as the whole front panel can be removed by pulling it off from the bottom of the case. If you water cool in the P600S, you will be pleased to see Phanteks has included an easy to access drain port near the bottom of the case. We personally really like this addition and wished more cases would do the same. The P600s is a stealthy case with attitude. There are angles and vents in all the right places, making this look very futuristic. At first appearances, the front looks as though it is all one solid panel, with an angular grill towards the top and ventilation gaps at either side. The design is flawless but what is most impressive about the Phanteks P600s is its modularity and ability to transform from one configuration to another. Of course, if you are all about airflow you may want to consider the P500Arather than spend the extra on this feature but it is one I love and I have to say hats off to Phanteks for including so many options. The removable center panel at the front, like the rest of the panels, features high-quality sound dampening materials that do a seriously good job for those that prefer acoustic performance.
Great Deal
