Hi, I have been wondering about getting the Phantek eclipse p400 as My next case.
Everything seems good and at a good prize, but i Wonder how much room there are for cablemanagement at the back, and also og there are any issues with it.
I would really appreciate a answer

I think OP is talking about the case behind the "back" wall. I see a lot of new cases where the cables go behind the motherboard and it looks like the case you selected has a pretty decent setup similar to my DIYPC case. The nicest thing about running your cables behind the mobo is that you don't necessarily need to zip tie all of them into on or two bundles; which makes upgrading a lot easier. It looks like you got an inch or so between the "wall" and the case so you should be good.

*edit*
One more thing. It looks almost exactly like my case where you can mount 2 standard HDD's in the back and bottom of the case and 2 SSD's directly on the back wall. Just remember that if you end up mounting the SSD's where it looks like they go...
Am not sure why are you are concerned about "back" room. I don't think you mean back as in where you plug in the monitor, are you talking about back as in under the Mobo?

Depends how much stuff you got. To me the biggest bundle of cable is between the PSU and the HDDs, but this pretty good sized tower, like I said depends how much stuff you got in there. Let say you will be routing cables in the space between the bottom of the Mobo to case, if a tiny space you may have trouble routing the bundle of power cables in there, but you an always snip off the cable ties from the cables bundles and make them flatter. You are the boss, you don't have to take it exactly the way they give it to you, you can modify.

Just remember that if you end up mounting the SSD's where it looks like they go you'll want regular SATA cables and not cables with an "L" shaped connector. Because the connector could go the wrong direction and screw you up.

Thanksgiving for the reply!
I must say sorry for the bad explanation...
What i mean if there are enough space to easely get the cables away. I am a New builder, and my previous case only had under a centimeter for cablemanagement, so i Just wont make that mistanke again. Many thanks for the help.
