Enthoo Pro or Luxe?

[Mosteeze]

So I'm torn between these two expensive beauties.

Phantex Enthoo Pro (Around £100) Amazon UK only has white in mid tower for reasons unknown.

Phantex Enthoo Luxe (Around £150) Amazon UK only has white in full tower for reasons unknown.

(Not sure if I want a full size or mid, may be accommodating a V8 GTS so tips are appreciated!)

 

After originally going for a cheap case, and stocking up on handy things like:

NZXT Sentry 2 5.25' Touch Screen Meter Fan Controller £25

NZXT 5.25' Hue RGB LED Color Changing Controller £25

(^ 2 things the Enthoo Luxe added to the built in stock package, 2 things the Pro lacks, argh!

Then again, 2 things I can add to the Pro to compensate for it's differences to it's superior.)

 

I know for the Luxe they've added an extra SSD holder on the cable management panel,

and also added amazing support for a radiator/an even more convenient space for fans 

on the top of the case between the mesh and the ceiling of the case,

(I don't think I'll be using water cooling for a long time, so no radiators here, but fans...)

Convenience is key with the Luxe, and the hardware additions are 

just as awesome as the minor but sleek upgrades to the exterior aesthetics. 

Saying that though, is it worth an extra 50 bones?

 

I'm so bad with decisions like these, and they're popping up all over the place while picking 

build components. Thanks in advance for any suggestions/opinions/info/responses at all!

I've heard the luxe just plain looks and feels nicer in person. I've not used the case though.

[SirRoderick]

I personally use the Luxe for my daily driver.

 

It was the best money I ever spent on a case.

 

Now I can tell you that you'll be functionally satisfied with the Pro, since it is a very well made case, but the extras on the Luxe make up for the pricetag in MY experience. Everything from the space and extra features to the really VERY good LED strips on the exteriour. Seriously, I look at this thing every day and I am not sick of it yet. Today it is red, I think I'm feeling green for when I get home. Just a super case.

Nice one guys thanks a bunch for the responses. I'm glad to hear the Luxe is so satisfying too, it definitely looks promising.

I'll have to see about purchasing when I next get paid!

If you pick things like a AIO CPU cooler for a build with this, keep in mind that if it's RGB like the Kraken x61 you'll be able to colour match it with the case if you ever change it. I do it all the time and it looks pretty good out the window

Are you able to buy from other UK stores ? As you can get the White version of the Luxe for £118 at cclonline.

[nicholician]

Enthoo Luxe any day

 

Just know that it's pretty damn big

That sounds pretty sweet man, I'm all for aesthetics and with this case it's a huge bonus that you don't have to choose having it look good over having it work good!

Damn I had no idea you could find it that cheap here, in that case I may be purchasing a week early lol. Does it come with all the LEDs and stuff?

Thanks for recommending that dude!

Yeah I noticed! Was browsing YT reviews earlier, saw JoanneTechLover's review and I know she seems short but that thing shadowed her haha.

Any idea if there's mid/full versions of both the Pro/Luxe? Getting confused with all the different versions.

It has the exterior LED lighting on the side of the case. If you want to light up the inside then you would need to buy an LED strip for that. Phanteks do a 1m and 2m strip, but other companies such as Bitfenix and NZXT also do LED strips.

Ah spot on dude thanks so much for the info! Already got the NZXT 5.25' Hue RGB LED Color Changing Controller for a few quid off Amazon

so I should be set for interior light. Saved me a good 20-30 bones on that case so thanks again man!
