KitGuru: Phanteks Eclipse P500A Review – All meshed up!
At CES 2020 we admired the Phanteks Eclipse P500A and now it is time for a full review as Phanteks launches this new mid-tower in two forms. This D-RGB version has three RGB fans as well as lighting in the front and along the power supply shroud, while the cheaper base model has no RGB. The killer new feature being pushed by Phanteks is the Ultra-Fine Performance Mesh front panel which means the P500A does not require a front filter!

KitGuru: Gigabyte G32QC 31.5in Curved Monitor Review
We’ve seen a couple of displays from Gigabyte over the last year, including the Aorus AD27QD and Aorus FI27Q-P – but, importantly, both are Aorus-branded models. The Gigabyte G32QC we are looking at today is not an Aorus model, and is instead part of the mainstream Gigabyte brand. Despite that, it sports a curved 31.5in VA panel, 1440p resolution and 165Hz refresh rate, so it’s clearly still geared towards gamers. Priced at £420 here in the UK, could this be your next gaming display?
