help Phanteks Eclipse P500A FAQ
Why do PC builders like the Phanteks Eclipse P500A for airflow?
The P500A has a large mesh front panel that lets the front fans feed the GPU and CPU cooler directly. The P500A D-RGB version is especially popular because it ships with three 140 mm front RGB fans.

Yes, it is a roomy mid-tower case and was designed for high-airflow gaming builds. It is a better fit for large graphics cards than compact cases like the NZXT H510.
Is the P500A good for liquid cooling?
Yes. The case supports large radiator layouts, including common 360 mm class radiators, which is why it appears in many custom-loop and AIO builds.
