Case decision

[0ver]

Hello fellow pc enthusiasts, now that I picked up all my parts for my new build, decided to go with a new case as well. I am between Phanteks Enthoo Pro M (Acrylic Window), Phanteks P300 TG, Phanteks P400s TG.

P300 = 75 Euros

P400s = 99 Euros

Enthoo = 101 Euros

 

The things that I care with high to low preference are:

Airflow.

Cable Management.

Looks.

Size.

 

I would go for the p300 or p400s but people say that there are 10 degrees Celsius difference with the front panel off and that concerns me.

The system will consist of Ryzen 5 1600 paired with an MSI b350 PC Mate as well as 16GB of DDR4 3.2Ghz and a gtx 1060 6Gb from Gigabyte.

Note from my old case I 'll probably salvage 2-3 fans that I have.

P400 TG is great, airflow isn't great as you mentioned but I'm getting perfectly fine temps and airflows with 2 140mm in the front intake and 1 120mm in the rear outtake. The Pro M is also a great case and is one of my favorites.

While the Enthoo definitely has the best airflow by far (there IS a tempered glass version if it's not too much more), the P400 would do okay at cooling the 1600 and the 1060 since neither are particularly hot thermally speaking. That being said, if the #1 concern is airflow, the Enthoo Pro M is definitely the choice, no question. Good news is regardless of which case you choose (omiting the P300) the interior is almost exactly the same save for the top bracket on the Enthoo Pro M, so build quality is good in both. Personally I'm a strong advocate of the Pro M, as not many people realize it exists which is a real shame.

Yea was thinking the same, although the goodies that the p400s seems so good , but I ll go with the Pro M, possible get a led strip later on, there is an acrilic but goes for 20+ euros because of transportation cost
