Posted January 30, 2017 Hi, I'm trying to decide between the Phanteks Enthoo luxe gun metal glass side panel case and the S340 Elite black case. I have a AIO 280mm cooler x99 platform with GTX 1080 and use 2 SSD,s and an m.2 I want the case to be smaller than my current Corsair 780T because that case is just massive lol Link to comment https://linustechtips.com/topic/731074-which-case/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't like it lol It's nice and everything is great about it but the back panel where the cables go being glass is a deal breaker for me the whole point in a motherboard tray cable management system to me is that it hides cables I dunno just seems a bit backwards to me lol Link to comment https://linustechtips.com/topic/731074-which-case/#findComment-9294498 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The enthoo luxe is actually on sale in the UK at the moment for only £130 and the S340 Elite is £90 I went with the Gun Metal Luxe it's arriving tomorrow the deal breaker for me was future upgradeability the S340 Elite is a nice case but I've heard it suffers from poor build quality and expandability isn't good I haven't opened the Kraken X62 yet but I found this 360mm rad kit with fittings and pump bay res combo and i'm seriously considering it so might send the X62 back. I use to have a watercooling loop and swore I'd never do it again but maybe I will Link to comment https://linustechtips.com/topic/731074-which-case/#findComment-9294510 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: I think the Elite can fit a 240 rad up front and a 120 rad on the back, don't thinkle it can do top though.
