Review on Phanteks PH ES314ETG_BK Tempered Aluminum Illumination by Rance Riley

This was pretty much the only case that worked for me (mATX with enough space for CPU cooler and HDD/SSD). That being said, I'm glad I chose him because I like him. Other reviews have mentioned the space between the power supply and the hard drive bay, and that's true. difficult. I had to bend the cables aside and somehow slide everything in, which was a little sketchy, but it worked and I still got all my cables right and tidy. I ended up not using the included fans and replacing them with three 140mm Noctua NF-A14s, which keep everything nice and cool. As I was planning to use a large cooler I needed to make sure I had a case that would fit on the Noctua NH-D15 with both fans, and this one fits perfectly even with one of the fans pulled up/pulled out for RAM . on road. In this case you can also cool with water without any problems since there is space for it, which I don't like because there are a few centimeters above the motherboard to install a heatsink, but since I prefer air it's a waste of space what I do would love to trade for a shorter body but in the end it doesn't matter and it's better to have than not have. I use four 2.5" SSDs and one 3.5" HDD for my drives and it mostly fits them well. I say mainly because the drive bay only fits two drives and the SSD brackets obviously only fit two drives. So my fourth SSD is held with Velcro and threaded through one of the attachment points and then wrapped around the SSD which doesn't really look as garish as it might look (plus you can't see it when the panel is closed, only the other two are attached to brackets). So yeah, to sum it up I'd say buy this case if you're even slightly interested in it. Easy to disassemble (apart from over-tightened thumbscrews), great for cable management, good thermal performance, roomy for its size and most importantly, it looks fantastic. Just be aware that it's pretty heavy and LOVES dust and fingerprints so make sure you have the means to keep it clean.
