Review on Phanteks Enthoo Chassis Window PH ES614P_BK by William Mathis

Even with the largest Noctua air cooler and a fairly large graphics card (Nvidia 2070) this case clearly outperforms the electronics. It comes with a large front fan and a smaller rear fan. It also comes with a handy plastic sorting box and a large supply of black powder coated screws and thumbscrews. There are velcro straps for cords and plenty of rubber grommets. This model is a plastic window model. I didn't want the glass type. It is slightly cheaper than the tempered glass model. I finally realized that it's better not to draw power from the built-in fan adapter in the case. It just seems like a way to split the power, much like a power strip. Instead, I now use different fan headers on the mainboard. This allows the software to detect each fan (CPU, front and rear) and configure each fan individually. If you have many 5-inch drives, for example for a RAID array, you can install six of these drives. and can also use a DVD drive (that was the main reason I chose this case - I still support a set of real DVDs and CDs). A nice feature for those of us who don't need old drives is that the two boxes that contain the drive sled can be completely removed by loosening a few screws. This frees up the fuselage airflow somewhat. I would say that the overall airflow in the case is GOOD. Ergonomics, cable routing and handling are also good. I don't want to mount an AIO heatsink or add liquid cooling. I am not in this camp at the moment. Be prepared for how serious this case is. The pictures are not clear. This is the largest PC case I've ever built. Since I have no doubts that the equipment is always at hand, I have no aesthetic problems. The case looks good and is quite quiet. A large front fan helps with this. I would recommend this case to anyone who needs a high level of basic building flexibility as well as a large footprint. As always, double check your exact choice of components if it's not a standard size.
