Review on Phanteks Aluminum Ultimate Computer PH ES813P_SOR by Mark Deuschle

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Absolute shit. . .

Not only will I never buy this case again, I will not buy this brand again. When I received it, one of the fans was broken. It doesn't matter because after I installed everything, none of the fans worked anymore. Oh, and that was after I had to "short out" the power connector on the motherboard because the power button on the case wasn't working. Luckily that crappy paperweight didn't cost more. Even if you understand that "shit happens," there's no excuse for so much "shit" happening in one case. I also recently purchased a CORSAIR Carbide SPEC-04 mid-tower gaming case for $55, which puts this case to shame. Why? Because it works. I've been assembling computers since 2007 and I've never encountered such garbage. Update: Revain sent me a second replacement. In this case, exactly the same problems. The power button does nothing. The fans don't work. Oh, and this time I had to go to the hardware store and buy a faucet since none of the pre-installed locking holes were threaded. Complete garbage business. The same problem twice in a row. And then some.

Pros
  • Two sliding and removable hard drive bays (supports up to 6 hard drives) for more installation flexibility or unrestricted airflow.
Cons
  • Not bad
