Phanteks Enthoo Pro M Mid Tower Chassis, Black Cases PH-ES515P_BK

Kick Ass Case , don't listen any reviews that complains about it.. This case is as perfect it can be for such low price.The acrylic window on the side ,is not real heavy crystal but this is not bad at all, is very light and very clear and looks really nice. just use soft cotton socks and glass cleaner and and light force to clean. The case looks awesome.The things that will really caught your attention is , not only how pretty ,dam sexy it looks..But also how Spacey it is.. The picture made it look like is tiny case but is a medium tower case that can hold even EATX sizemotherboards. Because they removed internally all the trays that are supposed to hold the hard disk and moved inside the closed box at the button , you will have plenty space there , to setup a medium level water cooling with 3 fans and radiator. if you like.. Currently using a very big video card Geforce 1080 , very comfortable fit.Cable management is very descent too. The PSU cables will be all hidden but only the cables ,it have an open side the box coverat the button to show which PSU you are using, this is ideal for RGB psu's. You will feel in love with how much space and organizedwill be all inside the case while at the same time not being a full tower . the Optical drive bay was also a must.How could it be improved , it will be with an tempered fiber glass on the side ,that you can open and close easily like more expensive cases of phanteks like the elite. instead of using screws. It will also be nicer also if the case had I/O connectors in the front panel of the latest ports in market , like USB-C ,Thunderbolt ,DP 1.4 and HDMi 2.0. excellent case and seems to be friendly for modding. if you know how to do it.in closing , the only other cases i was thinking in buying is Corsair 750 which is close to a full tower case ,and im glad and didn't do it ,because even though corsair one have good space is no where as pretty and confortable as the phanteks one. price played no role in buying this one. i was aiming to buy a $500 dollar case from In WIN but they did not had all the pros of this one. ie.. Poor air ventilation and no dust filters everywhere.The front door dust filter have to be removed by removing the entire front panel. But is just a panel ,is not hard to remove it. it was easier than i though .My only complain is that Phanteks , the company who build the case does not continues developing this amazing case design a step further.They released more expensive models but a completely different not so nice style like this one.for future more expensive models it will be better this same design with expanded features1) Will be even better if there was a rotating acrylic door in the side where the acrylic glass window is ,that you can open and close easily with one finger.2)I/O front panels with the latest ports will be nicer. like HDMI 2.0 ,USB-C , THunderbolt 3 and DP 1.4 and controls for RGB led strip headers3) 2 or 3 , optical drive bays instead of just one.4) a little more space in the back panel for cable management. IF you dont have a mondular powersupply it could bepainful to manage the cables to fit inside with side rear panel closed.as a bonus but very minor , the front panel could be in acrylic glass too with RGB logo and a door to hide the optical drives bays to protect them from dust which can enter even with bay closed.

If you don't feel like reading my entire dissertation about this case, just know that it's as good as you're going to get at the $80-ish pricepoint without spending over $500 on a Caselabs case. Now onto the story.I originally bought this case as a replacement for my beloved Corsair 350D, which is a micro ATX chassis. For almost two years I filled that case with extremely high end hardware and eventually a custom watercooling loop. As I added in more power-hungry parts it became increasingly obvious that I was running out of radiator space. At the time I was cooling an overclocked Intel 5960X and two GTX 780s. So I made the obvious but painful choice to move up to a bigger case.The Enthoo Pro M was truly the only case that had every specific thing I needed: a top-mountable 360mm radiator, space in the front for a thick 280mm radiator (with enough space for 65mm of radiator width plus fans in push-pull), an attractive design without the “flashy MLG” look with a thousand LEDs all over it, and enough space behind the mobo tray to fit both PSU cables and a section of 3/8" x 1/2" soft rubber tubing. I explored my options for several hours and eventually landed on this.With that all said, I want to first get all the stuff that is really awful about this case out of the way. First and most apparent, the side panels; they are extremely flimsy compared to other manufacturers and prices. The thin sheetmetal locking tabs are no different story. I find myself needing to support the bottom of the side panel as I am removing it to prevent them from being bent. This is a very serious issue to me and is simply not justified under the "well, what do you expect at this price" kind of mentality. This kind of design flaw was completely avoidable and is something I will not forgive Phantecks for. Another thing that twists my spine is the filtering for the front fans. The design makes absolutely no sense to me because there is about a 10mm gap between the filter and the mesh on the front bezel, letting air flow freely around the filter. You will note that on the sides of the front bezel are diagonal openings. These are also not filtered, which left me scratching my head. Finally after a week of constantly cleaning out the front fans I pulled off the front bezel and placed electrical tape over those cutouts and around the perimeter of the fan filter that was left wide open. It looks good since you cannot see it, but still very, very annoying. And did I mention that you actually have to remove the entire front bezel in order to access the filter? Y u do dis, Phantecks?But I cannot complain forever. The case implements some features that I never would have dreamed of for $80 such as a removable top radiator mounting bracket, a mounting plate for a D5/DDC pump, reservoir mounting points, a stealth power supply cover, innocuous cutouts where the bottom of the motherboard rests so that you don't end up having to route cables across your board (I'm looking at you, Corsair), ample room behind the mobo tray, lots of space for radiators (please note that it's impossible to have a 360mm in the front and another 360mm in the top simultaneously—ask me how I know), and cable grommets in all the places that make sense. It’s truly an economy watercooler's dream case. Before I added this case to my list of options I was looking at a Caselabs SM8. While Caselabs makes easily the sexiest and most robust cases out there, shelling out $500+ on just a box to hold my components was simply out of the question (but I'm certainly going for one in the future!) So for now I'm sticking with my Enthoo Pro M. It's not perfect, but it certainly fits my needs for the near future.

Ne avevo già presi altri 2 ma di colore Nero e devo dire che pure Verde che in realtà è un verdone scuro dappertutto tranne del Nero nelle plastica frontale, cmq alla luce è molto bello esteticamente per me.Case:Pro-235 mm x 480 mm x 500 mm (Largo x Alto x Profondità).-Finestra laterale in plexiglass/metallo-Molto Spazioso e Ampio con possibilità di un bel liquido non male.-Case molto pulito linea sobria.-Filtri antipolvere alimentatore,frontale e tetto in versione magnetica facili e pratici da pulire e lavare, senza preoccuparsi di staccare cavi per accedervi.-5 ventole montabili da 140mm di cui 1 retro già inclusa di base(ma può montare anche delle 120 mm in (2 in più per un totale di 7 oppure 6+1 140 mm di base.-Pulsante accensione generoso e bello esteticamente l'effetto.-Pulsante reset e 2 USB3 e connettori audio laterali a sinistra.-1 adattatore SSD in dotazione per montarlo in 3 punti diversi+2 opzionali con i vari kit.-2 slot per HD tradionali o altri 2 SSD + 6 opzionali con i vari kit.-Copri alimentatore con fori a nido d'ape.-Schede Video e lunghe e larghe no problem 420mm lunghezza se non montate hd opzionali oppure 300 mm con hd.-dissipatori cpu alti fino 194mm-ampio spazio per il cablaggio dei cavi nella parte posteriore della mobo con gomme di qualità(non come Corsair che si rompono dopo 1 anno per i cavoli loro su case da 230€ :( )-incastri per rimuovere mascherina frontale,pannelli laterali e viti ben realizzati e robusti si può smontarlo da capo a piedi.-Vano estraibile nella parte superiore per montaggio liquido o ventole.-Liquido installabile in Frontale 280-360*mm Tetto 280-360mm Posteriore 140mm (*rimuovere lo slot 5,25" frontale)-Alimentatori full size installabili.Contro-Se montate dissipatori cpu davvero grossi lo spazio non sempre è sufficiente per non far collidere ventole del vano superiore e Dissi Cpu ma io ho risolto 2 cosi (Scythe MugenMax e un Noctua NDH14), sfruttando che si può smontare tutto ho rimosso il tetto e installato le ventole tra il vano estraibile e il tetto di plastica lo spazio risulta perfetto una volta rimontato il tutto a patto che non tirate esageratamente le viti delle ventole senza il problema di ticchettii di ventole che sbattono con il vano perchè deformate dalla troppa forza applicata dalle viti.-Altra pecca la verniciatura delle viti dei pannelli laterali risulta non il massimo per la resistenza nel tempo se continuamente aperto e richiuso, frequentemente.Per il resto secondo me è uno dei miglior mid tower per questo prezzo per qualità dei materiali e sopratutto come è ben progettato.Se volete spendere meno esiste pure la versione non finestrata se volete di più esiste la versione finestrata full plexiglass Acrilyc ma a quel punto Prendete un Bel Enthoo Pro il fratello più grande di questo senza esagerare, chi invece vuol esagerare e fare solo Liquido consiglio Enthoo Primo.

This is an excellent case. I love the modularity and customizability that comes with it. That being said, I ran into a few issues:1) Why in gods name did they mount the front dust filter on the INSIDE of the front panel. What were they thinking? Not very convenient to remove and clean at all.2) The case I received seemed to be a mish mash of the pro M case and the tempered glass version. There's no reset button, instead from what I've read up from the online manuals, my case has the RGB wiring that replaces the reset button wiring of the tempered glass or deluxe RGB version of the case. A minor issue as I don't expect to have to hit the reset button much, but I also don't expect to utilize the RGB stuff either.3) I installed a pair of 140mm fans into the rack at the top of the case. I installed them into the bracket along the existing rail slots for screws. When I tried to close the side panel of the case, it wouldn't close. I realized that the way the clear plastic window is installed, that portion of the panel protrudes inward, and this interfered with the 140mm fans. In the end, I had to shift the 140mm fans further in by using holes that weren't actually meant for screws, and the corners that didn't line up with screw slots I had to zip tie them to secure them to the bracket.

This is a well made case, with clever design features which make it easy to achieve a clean build with good airflow. Though this is a 4 star review, I just want to concentrate on a couple of things you should be aware of as a potential buyer which I didn't see in any reviews of this case.The side window looks fantastic, and is surprisingly easy to remove and replace. The opposite panel (behind the motherboard) uses a pretty irritating old style retaining mechanism which means you have to be pushing down on all four edges simultaneously while you slot it in. If you have a to wedge a lot of cabling in behind this panel, and intend to remove it frequently, you may find this annoying.For me though, the biggest issue with this case is the top radiator mount. I have a Black Ice Xtreme 2 which would fit just fine if it weren't for the fact that the 5.25" drive I have installed clashes with it. This may not be a problem for most, however this is one of the few cases that still has a drive bay at all, which was a major factor in me buying it. I now have to choose between losing / replacing my Blu Ray drive or losing all the drive bay space at the front of the case so my radiator can go there instead. If you're buying this for the drive bay, be sure to measure your drive first if you want to mount the rad up top (mine is 185mm).

Este gabinete lo compre porque mi anterior gabinete ya estaba mostrando su edad y quería algo novedoso, elegí este por su capacidad de ventilación y su tamaño además por su buen manejo de cable, funcionalmente el gabinete cumple con lo que esperaba excepto por algunas cosas:-En el empaque no me vino el accesorio para montar o quitar los standoffs de la motherboard, esto sería un problema si no tuviera una motherboard ATX estándar ni la herramienta que si incluía mi otro gabinete.-El filtro de polvo magnetico de la parte superior no se adhiere tan fuertemente como esperaba y es propenso a resbalarse al poner cosas, dejando espacios en los que peude entrar el polvo.-En la parte de enfrente, para montar un ventilador de 140mm en la parte más baja y que alcance a enfriar los discos duros, es necesario quitar el mismo compartimento para los discos y posteriormente volver a ponerlo, lo cual me parece algo tedioso ya que esta sujeto con al menos 8 tornillos y 4 de ellos por debajo del gabinete.Cabe mencionar que por sus características y diseño me parece un muy buen gabinete, el interior es limpio y por lo tanto de muy buena capacidad de ventilación, el espacio para los cables es suficiente y la ventana es adecuada para mostrar los componentes aunque no estaría mal que fuera algo más grande.

This case is a pretty damned sweet little rig. You can disassemble almost everything in it depending on how you want your setup to rock and roll.I have mine currently setup with a z97 motherboard and a way overlocked i5-4690k (still on the upgrade path!)A few noctua fans, an Evo, EVGA 980ti, a full sized modular PSU, and some HD's and a Blu-Ray drive. It's my living room gaming "beast". Though compared to the previous Carbide series S540 I had, it's a miniature beast.You can just about always find a spot for something, and fiddle with nearly everything in this case. Everything basically comes apart and can be re-assembled depending on your chosen setup. I've got a good positive pressure system going right now with my own personal setup, and this case made that incredibly easy (to the point where it was almost accidental).I guess I wish there were fans in it upon purchase? But who knows if I'd have even used those. My only real gripe is I have to take the front panel completely off to get to the dust filter inside of it, and I wish it was more along the lines of the top dust filter which just magnetizes on. I also suppose I wish the doors utilized a more modern attachment mechanism, as I hate lining up tabs and sliding things forward.
