Phanteks Enthoo Pro vs Pro M

[Hemanse]

In the middle of purchasing my new case, settled for a Pro or Luxe, depends on how expensive the Luxe is here, otherwise ill just settle for the Pro, but i also noticed that there is a Pro M version that i have never really seen before, is it just a smaller and cheaper version of the Pro?

 

I kinda like the very open interior of the Pro M, nothing in the way of airflow, which is what im mainly looking for to get some air to my R9 390.

The Pro M is just the Pro but a Mid-Tower, not a Full Tower. Same great airflow and modularity.

 

It's cheaper cause it's smaller, makes sense.

I like the look of the M, but the Pro is a better value.  You get more fans, and fan hub controller and it is a full tower(not always a good thing).

True, guess i gotta find out if maybe i want something a bit smaller

Im gonna replace the fans anyway, so thats not really a big concern, if its the same nice build quality as the Pro and Luxe, i might consider something a bit smaller like the M.

Pro M is just the mATX version.

Pro M is just the mATX version.

I think the Pro M is still ATX, but mid tower, comes with the Enthoo Evolv ATX style interior, slide out radiator slots on top, more radiator support on front, better airflow (new modular HDD bays), I would go for the the Pro M, looks like a very nice interior, but the Pro is still a great choice as well.

It's really good build quality, but it has no fan hub. It's mid tower, but the cable management is great.

If you are going to spend more on airflow regardless, I personally like the M design(aesthetics) a lot.  The build quality is the same as the Pro, cable management is the same as well.

Yeah im kinda thinking about going for that instead now, i run a single gpu setup anyway, so no real need for a big tower. I like the fact that there is nothing blocking the airflow to the GPU, looks like there is a nice straight airflow from the front to the back right over the GPU.

 

It's really good build quality, but it has no fan hub. It's mid tower, but the cable management is great.

 

Very much considering it right now instead, my current case has a fan hub, but i dont even use it anyway

It is? Derpie derp.

Yep. 7 PCI-E slots vs 8.

I've got the Enthoo Pro M.  The cable management in the back is amazing.  Three dust filters.  Sliding fan tray.  Zero air obstructions.  Temps have always been 20c-44c (while gaming). 

 

ONE COMPLAINT.  Pain in the ass reset button is under the headphone port, I accidetally reset my system 5 times before I figured the trick out. Plus plugging in your headphones in the front aux is a workout, it's a super super tight fit.   I'm sure if I stood up and walked away with my headphones, the towers coming with me.

The IO is in a bit of a awkward position as i have my pc on the floor to the left of me, but should be fine, i use a amp/dac anyway, so the headphones port is not gonna be used

 

Almost got the MasterCase Pro 5, but the price is just ridiculous, i dont know who came up with that, but he must have been drunk. Which is kinda sad, since i really love the layout of that case, but i just cant get myself to pay that much for a midtower.

Ah yeah, I've got mine to the right.  I think we've made a good decision going with Phanteks after all.

Something about this Thermaltake case though...  I love it.   $149^{.99 w/free shipping}
