Review on πŸ–₯️ Phanteks Enthoo Pro 2 Full Tower – High-Performance Fabric Mesh, Tempered Glass, Dual System/PSU Support, Massive Storage, Digital-RGB Lighting, Black by Dwayne Pore

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Big, high-quality, well-designed case

TLDR: Big case with great features, lots of space, and thoughtful airflow options. A little disappointed with the lack of built-in fans, but for me it's not critical. I also wish they had included more hard drive trays as I had to buy extra ones when building, not realizing they only come with 4. General use: - I bought this to replace a Corsair C70 that was about 9 years old and the rubber was starting to break down, leaving the hard drives in the cages. All I was looking for was good airflow, a quiet case, and plenty of hard drive bays. This Phanteks hosts a non-raiding home server that operates 24/7. Pros: - I really appreciated the size and thoughtfulness of the case. There's room for tons of cables, tons of devices, tons of hard drives and SSDs - Removable dust covers that are easy to access. and dust passes through filters and fans. Plenty of space, enough for 2 PSUs, vertical GPU mounting, multiple fan, heatsink, pump, or hard drive configurations to meet your needs. A separate power supply and matching storage bag lid were very nice. I didn't care, but once I had it, it was great to hide the fan controller inside with a few extra cables for future hard drives. The SSDs hidden on the back were a great way to add more storage and tidy up the watch. The bottom of the case also offers space for additional hard drives or solid state drives. - The included cable management holes, straps and channels were great! Cons: - No fans included - Not many hard drive trays included. I think there were 4 in the set and I bought the other 4. The HDD trays snap together and I really wish there was a way to stack the HDD trays top to bottom with no gaps between pairs. I've played around with it a bit, but I have a feeling it can be done with modding. However, it seems like they can get it working with minimal fuss with no modifications from the factory. Expansion slots for PCI devices look a little different. My GPU is stuck but my NIC is loose. Not sure if it's a card, mobo or case, but seems like it should fit better in the back of the case. Overall I really like this case and it has greatly improved temperatures, reduced noise and more. Disk space for my home server. Optional hard disk bay number: PH-HDDKT_038x Noctua NF-P14s redux-1200 PWM Quiet Fan 4-Pin 1200RPM (140mm Gray) for case fans DEEP COOL FH-10 Integrated fan hub Supplies up to 10 fans (3-Pin Non-PWM or 4- Pin-PWM), only occupies a 4-pin header for motherboard. Happy to answer any questions
