My review of the Phanteks Enthoo Pro.

bmspendley · March 24, 2015

I will start out by saying that this case is absolutely awesome. The case was ridiculously easy to build in, and the accessories, there were soooo many. Phanteks includes all parts in an accessory box, with enough organization to help you build. One problem right when I opened with it, it had inadequate packing material, though my case arrived without damage.

The Outside

The front has 3 drive bays, a smooth bezel, a 200 mm fan, and the front io. The io is hidden behind a flip up panel. The only problem with this is that the panel feels a bit flimsy, and I'm afraid I might break it. The io has two usb2, two usb3, microphone, headphone and reset switches. The top is smooth, save for a mesh intake and the power button, amazingly, the top can accommodate a 480mm rad. The power button is a bit spongy, but has a nice finish.

The right side has a smooth metal side panel, which is held on by thumbscrews and comes off on a hinge. The right side has an "interesting" window, with a 2 part design. The window is plastic and picks up fingerprints a lot. The back is possibly my favorite part of the case. It has an aluminum construction, with a 140mm fan installed, and an option for a 120mm. It comes with the standard watercooling tube holes, and a psu mount.

Inside

The motherboard tray is pretty cool, the standoffs are pre installed and installation in easy. There is room for a 120mm or 140mm rad on the rear fan mount, and it does fit. The psu cover is awesome, and has holes to cable manage.

There are options to mount two reservoirs, one on the back, and another on the drive cages.

The rear of the tray is where the party is in this case. Phanteks includes straps to cable manage. These an be a bear to use, but they make cable management look really good. The rear of the tray has 2 ssd mounting brackets, which are held on by pressure mounts.the drive cages have slide in mounts, which feel really solid.

Overall, the case is great, building is easy, and the case has a really good look to it.

great review! I have removed my front and top pieces heaps of times and they seem just fine. the little metal parts that hold on the filters are what i'm more worried about. Also my paint is just the slightest bit uneven around the edges on the inside, would of never noticed if i didn't crawl around in there so often. at first i thought i was spending to much on a case but now i feel like it's better than a evo 212 on price/performance. One of the best $100 spent!
