Phanteks Enthoo Pro Tempered Glass

This case is so very well made. I felt like I was back in the 70's and receiving a product of choice. They packed the box. Instead of styrofoam it was the layered foam and that was covered by cardboard with handles part way down which made it much easier to get out of the shipping box.. All of the accessories were in a small cardboard box inside of the case, and then inside that, I found a divided folded lid plastic box inside with all the screws.. Sooooooooo very nice.. It comes with extra tie down straps of two lengths.. The manual is an actual book.. instead of a cheap folded unreadable piece of paper.This is a large case folks, a true full tower.. It has fabulous wire management and pots of room. The cover on the power supply is removed by three thumbscrews with optional Phillips and then you slide it forward off of the three rubber grommeted screws. Fans Out The Wazoo!!! It comes with 2 fans.. One mounted in the front and one on the back, but can hold a lot more. 6 main drive bays and up to 5 2.5" drive mounts with 2 included chassis for the 2.5" size. The rails are thoughtfully made with folding lever clamps to hold the drives in the rails and an additional screw each side if you really want to. This monster of a case has pots of room for a proper custom water cooler or just an AIO.. of several sizes.. Marvellously built and still of the minimalist styling and meant for RGB. The front is plastic and is rather easy to pop off for cleaning.. Filters on the top, underneath, and in front.. It comes with 3 fans.. 2 x 140mm, and 1 x 120mm.I would have preferred the power button and hard drive light to have been front mounted, but it is ok.. The HDD light is very tiny and white in color and the power button shines soft blue. I ended up having to use the front panel RGB button to light up the pump, ( might change that up later ) The power button and the pump are different colors.. when the pump is purple, the bower button is gold.. That's not very sensible. it was also rather difficult to get the 140mm fan halos on when using the Phanteks halos. I finally managed it.. and it looks marvellous. I rather liked their halos because the lighted ring is totally behind the frame, so it is not glaring. There is one more thing.. The paint on the back panel is almost completely smooth and the kind which will scar if scratched (which I did by accident with my fingernail after cleaning it off carefully... it is fortunately mostly unnoticeable), so be careful with that.. Phanteks ought to have made it hard matte or satin enamel in a stippled kind of bumpy finish instead.. I don't mind, but that would have been preferred.All in all... this case is a winner, and I'm grateful to also have found one with both lots of drive space, and also more than one or none.. 5.25" bays.. I don'[t use a TV, save for the computer, and I still watch bluray and the like, and I also like to back up my PC to hard copy... I had to give up my front USB-c though because this case had no 3.5" front port.. This is ok... There is still one on the back I can accommodate later.I just LOOOOOVE all the RGB effects, and as you all can tell from the pictures.. My's a Purple freak. As the dinkies say, " OMG!! It's All Puuuuurkle!! " * Chuckles * Simply delightful.. And thanks to the extra support?? I will eventually make a custom hard pipe water cooling system and it will look FaBuLoUs!...This case is worthy of me taking pictures... that's for sure... It may have the brushed aluminium look to the front (which is easy to pop off for cleaning plastic, but the rest of the body is solid steel and very sturdy.. Hmmm What else.. Will have to think about it and add later.. TG it was also not ridiculously overpriced as so many things are both these days, and now.. Thank you Auntie.. for such a fabulous gift.It was an utter joy to take my time and do a perfect build... Thank you Phanteks, for valuing quality over quantity, and for a reasonable price. It says you all value us as customers, as well as your products...

It's taken me a while to write this, as it took forever to get a GPU, which I wanted before even thinking of starting this. The final result was great, with 1 minor exception (which I'll mention in cons) that was easily resolved by Phanteks.Pros:- The case is HUGE!- The 3 external drive bays are great for optical drive fans like me (I used 1 for M-disc, 1 for Lightscribe, and 1 for every day use- Although it comes with a fan hub, and 2 140mm fans, I removed the hub and the 2 fans because my MSI mobo has 6 fan headers (including the CPU), and the fan hub is simply not needed. I bought 5 PWM Corsair 140mm ML series fans (1 with white LED to mount over the CPU cooler) As a side note, I linked the rear and top front fan to PCI slot temp, and the top, CPU, and lower front fan to CPU core temp. - I added Phanteks combo Neon strips around the mobo and behind the front drive cages/housing. Through MSI Dragon, I linked all LEDs (including the mobo LED) to CPU core temp. Like this, if I see Red, I know something is wrong. I did the same thing for the GPU LEDs, except for 3 zone temp. Altogether, if everything is white, is okay; if it's red, it's not.- Cable management is a breeze. Plenty of space and slots, with ties and straps included- I removed the top HDD cage, to give the top front fan a direct line of sight to the GPU, and installed 3 HDDs in the lower cage- Overall build quality of the case along with accessories and instructions is great, with 1 exception...The 1 Con:- When I started my build, I removed the glass panel, and placed it alone back in the box, where it stayed until I was finished with the build. I mounted the glass panel when I was finished, and removed the plastic cover. Just yesterday, I glanced over at my tower, and noticed something I hadn't noticed. A circular mark, only visible when the lights are on. I looked closer, and noticed it's on the inside. I tried using alcohol to clean it, but then realized... it's a circular scratch. You can clearly see it in the last 2 pics that I took last night, and once again, you can see it in the 5th picture, which I took last week when I proudly completed this system. This looks like a suction cup mark. I'll try and use a polishing cloth, but I'm afraid of making things worse. I know it's going to bother me now that I know it's there, but I'd be interested to know if anyone else noticed a similar mark?*** Ending on a positive resolution of this "con", only 2 e-mails to Phanteks (1 first contact, and 1 receipt/invoice request reply), and another glass panel is on the way!Overall, this is a GREAT case. Just understand that it's a full tower and HUGE. I would buy this case again for another build; however, next time, first thing I will do is a more thorough inspection of all the components, especially the glass. Still, with the GREAT Phanteks customer service, it's only a minor hassle if an issue comes up.
