Phanteks Enthoo Pro Tempered Glass Edition Review

Phanteks has made quite a splash here in the Asylum with their high end case offerings like the Enthoo EVOLV and their budget friendly Eclipse P300 and both featuring tempered glass windows.  But up until recently their popular Enthoo Pro models were only available with Acrylic windows. Today we will be looking at the Enthoo Pro Tempered Glass Edition.

The Enthoo series was Phanteks first line of computer cases with a focus on water cooling features not available from most other manufacturers. Will tempered glass take things to the next level?

The Enthoo Pro Tempered Glass Edition is a larger 235 mm x 535 mm x 550 mm (9.25 in x 21.1 in x 21.7 in) mid tower design offered in a beautiful satin black combination of ABS and steel that looks remarkably like brushed aluminum. Although the case is wider than most of the competitors, the extra space provides ample room for components and cable management.

If black on black is not your thing, you can also get the Special Edition with a contrasting white interior and slightly upgraded fan options for just a little bit more.

Phanteks was founded in 2007 with two goals in mind, “High-end quality and innovative products in thermal solutions.” Beginning with an emphasis on the overclocking community the Phanteks Design Team is passionate about developing new and better innovative cooling solutions. Today Phanteks not only makes award winning water-cooling products.  They also make an expanding line of cases and cooling accessories.

Modding is still a big part of building a computer either it be in component selection or pimping up the chassis the personalization of your computer is a large part of ownership.  Phanteks has a reputation when it comes to cooling and with the word Pro on the name you should expect a bit more right out of the box.  Modding or simply shooting for a custom cooling loop should be a great match. That isn't to say you have to modify every case you buy but, every chassis should offer those opportunities and that his how we do our reviews.
