Phanteks Enthoo Pro Tempered Glass Edition Review

Of course with a name like Phanteks you know there is going to be an emphasis on cooling and the interior layout does not disappoint. The interior is built to hide components and cabling while maximizing airflow.

The front is dominated by the drive cage with two SSD drive mounts on the front surface.  This design puts those fancy SSDs right up to the glass and hides everything else.  Both SSD brackets can be removed if not used.  Even with the full frame the Enthoo Pro supports video cards up to 13.6 inches (347mm).

A full shroud covers the power supply and must be removed for installation.  I do like the look of these basements and they do a great job keeping any heat from bleeding into the system.  This is one area where I would seriously consider the white Special Edition a contender.

In total there is support for the external 5.25” bays we saw earlier, 6x combination 3.5”/2.5” drive bays and 4x dedicated 2.5” bays including the two up front.  That should support more than most will ever use.

The drives mount in tooless plastic trays and even the front facing SSD mounts are padded to reduce vibration.

The back side of the case is where all the dirty laundry hides.  These pictures show the case right out of the box.  Cable management looks great!  There are multiple Velcro ties already in place and lots of spots to mount more. 

The two other SSD mounts are located on the back side and use the same brackets.  Additional brackets can be purchased from Phanteks direct in a couple of styles.
