Phanteks Enthoo Pro Full Tower Chassis

TL;DR: This case rocks, and is competitive with lower priced cases that first timers will be looking at, as well as competitive with higher priced cases experienced builders might be considering. Cooling is not an issue, and this case will work with any cooling method you choose to use due to its open space and abundant fan slots. This is a FULL tower, expect it to be bigger than you might initially think, so be sure to carefully read its dimensions to get an understanding of its size (It is not over-sized, it is the normal size of a FULL tower, just saying to make sure you understand how big a full tower really is). This is a beginner friendly case, as cable management is essentially handled for you. It also leaves a new builder with plenty of room for further expansion, allowing the case to last much longer than lower priced cases.TL;DR of the TL;DR: Buy this case, its worth every penny.This case was probably a little overkill for my build, but its what made my whole build come together so nicely. At its price, its competitive with lower models, and in my opinion was worth the extra cash. I now have more room than I'll ever need for future expansions. I'm looking forward to future cases from Phanteks.For those wondering adequate space for air cooling systems like the coolermaster hyper 212 evo I have, worry not. There is more than enough space for any moderately well designed air cooler. Speaking of cooling, I bought extra case fans as air control is important with air coolers. However, you could get away with not adding any more fans. The back fan is the 140mm, but the front intake is the beastly 200mm fan (both are very quiet. I have an SSD, so my system is virtually silent now, the fans only making a small amount of noise after a few hours of game play). These two fans, plus the one on the Evo, would have been enough on their own to keep this thing cool. If you like lots of fans, or plan to have a beastly liquid cooling system, this is your case. There is space for a 3 fan radiator on the top, and I believe space for a 2 fan radiator on the bottom, but only if you manage your power supply cables well. So cooling is really not an issue with this tower. I would especially recommend this to anyone thinking of doing a custom water loop. It has a dedicated mounting spot just for a loop, as well as plenty of grommets to loop your fancy loop around on the inside to your hearts content.Cable management on this thing is EPIC! With all the tie downs really being provided for you, this case is definitely friendly to the new/first time builders. One very important thing to note is its size. As its title states very clearly, this is a FULL tower case, meaning its larger than the average case, something I overlooked as I hadn't built a computer in 4 or 5 years and I was not paying attention. Its not like its the size of a car or something, but I'm about 5' 8" and this thing comes up to the top of my kneecaps. So, again, its not over-sized, but it is a FULL sized tower. Be aware of what a full tower is and what that means.Overall, I think I lucked out on finding this case. There is more than enough room for me to expand my build later, or to completely rebuild it and go even more overkill. I could fit like a dozen SSD's or hard drives in this thing, meaning you could even use this as a server case. And its not as expensive as like a custom CoolerMaster case or some other high end build case, despite it being sometimes nearly twice the price of a starting end case. Its worth it though, and for a company that is new to cases, they are doing a FANtastic job! (see what I did there?) You can tell whoever engineered this was 1) experienced in building their own computers and knew the things they already liked and disliked about cases currently on the market, and 2) spent a lot of time researching the things other people liked, but also the things that were hated about cases. A lot of effort was put into this design, and I think it has really paid off.If you're doubtful, look up LinusTechTips review of this thing, he covers many of the same points I do, but offers a critical review as well from the perspective of an experienced builder -- a perspective I just cant give.

Upgrading my build was something I've been dreading. I always have bought cheap cases, and cared more about performance than aesthetics. This case showed me that I can have both. It looks amazing, and has all the features I need. The cable management options are amazing, tons of space behind the MoBo with ample tie down points. A million fan mount options, with the included front mount fan being amazing at keeping air moving over my GPU. The removable Hard drive bays let me remove what I don't need, and the fast mounting HDD bays make adding a hard drive take 3 seconds flat. The SSD mounts are perfect, simple to use, and let you mount SSD's in a nice viewing area. Rear panel has removable slots for your GPU that can be reattached, so you don't have to snap them out permanently like cheaper cases. This means when I upgrade my MoBo I can just change where my GPU sits on the back panel without leaving an ugly gap. Filters are awesome, easy to remove, let plenty of air through while catching any hair or debris. The entire case is sturdy and strong, but not as heavy as I was expecting. Front of case cables are the perfect length and easy to manage. USB 3.0 cable is solid, not thin and flimsy like previous cases have had. The sheathing on the USB 2.0 cable from the front feels a little cheaper, and leaves something to be desired. Honestly that is my only complaint. Great case. Would recommend to anyone looking for a Full Tower.

Phankets blew me away with this beasty tower. It's very big which is great for keeping your stuff cool, it can house a lot fans has a nice window panel for viewing your hardware and screens all over to help prevent dust. Its very well constructed and sturdy. Its also huge and heavy. It stands nearly 3 feet tall! It dwarfs most average PC's you've ever seen in stores or at home, its more of what you'd expect for a server computer. Don't let that intimiate you, bigger is better here. You get a lot more air flow, you have more options for motherboards, and don't have to worry about GPU's not fitting. If you find a GPU and like it, buy it, I bet it'll fit. This board was packaged nicely, came with a ton of great stuff like screws for all your hardware, zip ties, velcro straps, has removeable HDD cages, an SSD mounting bracket and more. The manual pretty much shows you how to build your computer from the ground up. The company itself is Amazing. I had an issue with my window panel and they replaced it for me upon providing proof of purchase and I didn't have to pay for it and they gave me some extra fan screws because I mentioned to the rep that I loved them.. Highly recommend. This case is built like a tank and will last for many years. Great for beginners and enthusiast alike. It has lots of room to work in and is easy to install all your PC components. Plus it just looks like a boss. It's not flashy and that's what I like about it. Reminds me of the old 90's towers but revamped. Love it! I chose this over the Primo because of the retro look and because I had my own LED's. No regrets. 10/10. A+++ Great company, great tower. If you need a full size tower, grab this gem!
