I am glad AMZ delivered this in one good piece

Reviewed in the United States on July 2, 2017

This is a humongous piece of art. I am glad AMZ delivered this in one good piece, no scratches and broken glasses, etc. Here are some pros and cons after setting up my water loop on this case.

CONS:
- Too big. It would have been perfect if Phanteks shrunk it to about 70% (two system mechanism is useless for most)
- Too heavy. I had to use the furniture slider to move this case after finishing my loop.
- Missing 5.25' front bay and opening of front panel is not a smooth operation
- FAN hub requires the connection to MB via cpu/opt fan ports, otherwise it would not operate
- Does not include extension cable for 24-pin power adapter. I had to buy one myself.
- Not cheap in price.

PROS:
- Heavy but solid with precision cut aluminum parts appearing as premium. Far from looking cheap.
- While I was putting this together I was so amazed by the workmanship and details on this case.
- Not only so spacious but provided many options to situate pumps, radiator, reservoir, etc
- Good ventilation option with enough fan holes and filters, etc.

Well, I was in search of case which looks cool, solid with no cheap materials. Provide enough space
and option for easy water loop installation. This case definitely exceeds my expectation.

If you can afford this case, it's for you. If you can't, don't knock it. Get something else. This is a really Spacious Solid case made for people who are custom builders/Custom Gamers and folks that do Water Cooling. It is heavy, but really manageable with sides and top off. I have put 2 motherboards in this with 3 graphics cards, water cooled it and have been able to do custom dual pumps too. This case supports 2x power supply too, so yeah you can have it all. For gaming, you can have silent or performance or a hybrid with the case adaptors that they include. So, you get more fan space and airflow options in addition to the ample internal space. (if you over clock/watercool this is awesome) Really wonderful design and case. Glass side panel is great AND quiet which was surprising. Front panel is designed with dual pc in mind and VR friendly with front hdmi connection. (Note: Glass side panel may crack during shipping, however if you get one with it in tact you are going to have an amazing experience with it. If you do get a cracked side panel, just return it, amazon has been really good about replacements. I cannot vouch for delivery through other sellers I have heard rough stories from.)

The case that could pass at your local art gallery, but functions extremely well as a custom water-cooling case!

Reviewed in the United States on June 16, 2017

This new case from Phanteks can fit all motherboards, including dual motherboards with PCI-e vertical break-out bay to show off your water-cooling for those who like to see/expose their graphics cards, Phanteks supplies a special riser cable to install the graphics card vertically, not only single-GPU, but dual-GPU boards are supported with plenty of space left. Meanwhile, the height of the CPU can support about any mega-coolers I can find, this includes enough room for your tubing.

Speaking of cooling, Planteks built the Enthoo Elite primarily with liquid cooling in mind: the chassis has space for 4 360mm and larger radiators for closed-loop or custom liquid coolers, enabling you to build a gaming system with no limits. This case supports enough space where you could cool all your motherboard components using its own LCS if necessary. To provide enough power for everything, the case can accommodate 2 PSUs.

Overall, the quality of this case is like none I've seen before, Planteks made this case beautiful, and at the same time functional. This case isn't for everyone, but if your into water-cooling you can't go wrong with this case. It will last you years to come.

Hope this helps you decide, cheers!

Not all E ATX boards will not fit in this case

Reviewed in the United States on June 10, 2022

Color: BlackVerified Purchase

I bought thi case because of the size and statining that all motherboards would fit. I bought the Crosshair
E-ATX VII extreme motherboard. The standoffs are maybe a 1/16 to 1/8 off from allowing the the board to line up and and fit flush to the back. I may have to see if the case is able to be modified or a new back panel needs to be maded. A lot of work for a case of this size and price...

It looks great online, but this case is even better in person. Block out an afternoon to slowly unpack it and run your hand over every panel and edge... in a world of mass-produced cheap plastic, this is art. Art that can quiety run any PC build you can dream up.

Premium look, no so premium build

Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2021

Color: BlackVerified Purchase

This case is a looks beautiful, it doesn't provide you with as much flexibility as other premium ultra cases that are half the price but chances are that you already knew that.

So to the ones that have already done their homework and are only reading through the comments to know if there is any major downside to be aware of..the power button is very flimsy, it has a smooch feeling not much bounce and you don't get the usual clicky feeling.

Mine came with a slight miss alignment between the inner frame and outer frame only noticable after removing the right side panel (the metal one) that caused a screw to scratch the inner part of the panel. It doesn't affect the outer look but I would have expected a more rigorous quality assurance process for such a price.

Best case on the market as of August 2018

Reviewed in the United States on August 21, 2018

Best case now that case labs has been forced to liquidate and bankruptcy. This case is incredibly large - make sure you have 2 people to help out. Extremely well made. Extremely versatile with lots of room for multiple water cooling loops and systems.

This is the best case I've ever owned!!

All I can say is I hope you have the space around your desk because this case is a minature apartment and if you need extra cash I'm sure you can find someone to rent out some of the extra space inside.

Fan information omitted.

Dust filter was broken on arrival, phanteks is replacing it though.

Kinda bummed that the 5 fans that the case comes with dont come with dampening pads like the retail units do.

Case feels solid / premium, but the issue with the fans and the dust filter is annoying.
