Review on Phanteks Aluminum Ultimate Computer PH ES813P_SOR by Chad Rosier

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Still satisfied after 11 months

Large - lots of space. Lots of big fans and space for additional ones. Large fans in large cases are quieter than small fans in small cases Very well planned All inlets are filtered Quality can be felt at every point. not visible from the side of the case window. Insulates heat from inside the case. The wiring is well hidden. This case is very adaptable, so later changes in settings on the go do not require a new case. I already mentioned BIG. The front door hinges cannot be moved to the other side. I want them to design it to look normal when the door is closed. transfer of ownership. Door W or WO. Two small questions. 1 lower screen of the input filter is broken. 1 upper grill bracket did not snap into place. The box was not damaged in any way. So the item was packed with this broken bottom grid. Email support and both were sent to me within a few days. These issues didn't hamper my build at all. It may be "Pro" but the support was very fast and accurate. There was simply no need to replace these items as quality control should have spotted both issues. This body is very heavy. I've had Lian Li cases before, but this time I needed more space and plenty of cooling options. This cover meets this requirement well. Red color on black background is stunning. The red interiors appear to be powder coated as they look really thick. 10 years ago I paid $200 for Lian Li's case. 5 years ago again 190 dollars. I would benefit from this case for many years.

Pros
  • Drop-n-Lock Doublestack SSD brackets that can be installed in 3 different locations. (2 brackets included)
Cons
  • Almost everything ok
