When I bought it in 2017, it was $70. Such a good case for any entry/mid level build. Love the glass panel, and it's super easy to unscrew and remove. It comes with a magnetic Phanteks RGB strip that's very bright and syncs with the rest of the in-built RGB on the case. Cable management is good, it has built-in velcro strips on the back to keep cables from spreading out everywhere. Probably the only downside is the back cover can be sometimes hard to put back completely because SATA/other cables can stick out fairly far.

Really nice case, super nice aesthetics and a very clean look as well.
from completed build my first build! :D
I absolutely LOVE this case! It has really good room for cable management and the RGB is awesome! Comes with 2 stock fans which are ok too. Would recommend!

I was disappointed when I first received this case because the design for the PCIe slots is completely different than what is shown on the Phanteks website. There was a big gaping hole next to the slot covers and it looked really cheap. I found out after calling Phanteks support, that they changed the design of the PCIe slot covers to allow for vertical installation of a GPU (I really think it was cost-cutting) and they never bothered updating their product pictures. Phanteks sent me the part for free and the case looks much better with it. It would have been much better to not go through all the trouble of calling them and Phanteks being honest and updating their designs. Another complaint was the lack of documentation for getting the LEDs to work. As a first time builder, I had no idea that you needed to put SATA power from the power supply into the LEDs to get them to work (I though it needed to connect to the mother board). Despite all my complaints, the case actually looks great and cable management was not a problem at all.

Absolutely awesome case. Though I don't have much to compare it too. It was my first build. All I care about is aesthetics. Everything seems to stay nice and cool as well!

Amazing case. Comes with a magnetic RGB strip that works well. Was a breeze to build in.

Great case! Amazing to work in, very nice to look at. Airflow seems sufficient. Cable management is excellent due to the wealth of cable cutouts, tie-down points, and the Velcro straps included behind the motherboard tray. Comes with an RGB LED strip which connects and syncs with the logo lighting and the power button LED. My only complaint is that Phanteks should have included an adapter in the box that allows you to connect the RGB strip and other case lighting to the motherboard header. You can definitely buy an inexpensive adapter that Phanteks makes, and the process is very simple, but this part should have been included in the box. Still well worth the five stars, especially for the price.

What a case. This thing is absolutely amazing to work with. The cable management is glorious, even for a newbie builder like myself. The colors are a nice touch, too. Should have gotten the sound blocking p400s, because when my fans ramp up it sounds like a hollow tube. Spend the extra money, you won't regret it.

Nice case; not too expensive yet it has the functions of a high end case

Cable management was all I needed and this provided that. Thanks Phanteks
