Review on Phanteks Enthoo Chassis Window PH ES614P_BK by Nate Mims

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Unbelievable for the price, great facility.

This case is a great buy and has a lot of great features for the price. The only thing that's easy to break is the window that's attached to the metal side panel. It can break very easily if the side panel flexes at all, even when the side panel is actually assembled and bolted to the case, if you lift it at an odd angle or flex the case. It's easy to break. I would recommend if you don't need a window just don't take it. But that's really the only downside I have. In this case, given the price of the case and all the features and settings. This will give you as I go below. One thing that a lot of people point out is that only one SSD tray comes with the case. But there are four attachment points, two on the back, two on the front. These SSD trays are available right here on the Revain website by searching for the Phantek Enthoo Pro SSD tray. They even have a two tier version that can be used on the attachment points in the front. I doubt they work on the back. This gives you the option of installing four SSDs in the front and two SSDs in the back. This device also has great customization options to suit your needs. I have two such cases, one of which is used as a server with all six internal 3.5" slots. in use and I have a gaming system that has the drive trays removed and additional fans installed in places that give access to them. Study the fan layout sheet carefully and plan ahead what you want to do. The fan splitter is also a great feature. This allows you to control up to six fans from a single PWM header. Please note that if you are using more than two fans or a really powerful fan, make sure you connect a bit more power. Do not try to force the motherboard or area controller to run six fans as this will most likely result in burns. Also note that the speed is determined only by the fan connected to the first header, but the duty cycles of all fans are controlled by the PWM motherboard or fan controller. This case also features numerous cable management slots for easy cable management. I'll be honest and never really bothered with it in a previous build, but this case made it so easy with so many seats, and they're all rubber grommets. It was just hard not to do it, so I did it. Also note that the rear of this case is fully covered with a grille next to the PCI expansion ports, giving your filter fans positive pressure ventilation and enough space for self-ventilation right next to the expansion cards.

Pros
  • Brilliantly made
Cons
  • So-so
