Introduction
I would like to thank
Phanteks for supplying the review sample.
The Phanteks Eclipse series includes many enclosures, which all feature a similar forward-slanting front design. While users may pick a solid or perforated front with several Eclipse cases, the Eclipse G360A only comes with a vented front. However, you may pick the black or white edition. In this review, we will cover the latter and employ the Phanteks AMP 1000-watt PSU alongside the Glacier One 360 MPH AIO, both in white to match. The fact that such a liquid-cooler can fit is one of the major differentiating factors between the G360A and P360A which maxes out at 280 mm.

Packaging
Phanteks packs the Eclipse G360A into a plain brown cardboard box with an outline of the chassis on front and name on the opposite panel. Both smaller sides are actually pretty bare, but there is a QR code for some additional information on one and a sticker for the color of the chassis inside on the other.
Thick Styrofoam spacers hold the chassis in place and protect it from any damage, while a plastic bag is meant to keep scratches and fingerprints away.
