PHANTEKS ENTHOO PROM

As the most expensive case on test, you’d expect big things of the Enthoo Pro M, and big things it delivers. Like the S340 Elite, it features a tempered glass side panel, while the rest of the case is built from quality materials, and is well put together. It’s a big case too. Big enough, in fact, for eight 3.5in hard drives, three 2.5in drives and a removable optical drive bay. Cooling options are also extensive. You can fit in five 140mm fans, six 120mm fans or two 3x120mm radiators and there are mounts for reservoirs and slots for fitting pumps. However, by default you only get one 140mm fan that’s positioned as an exhaust behind the CPU. But this case still delivered the best CPU cooling on test, and was mid-table for GPU temperatures.

Something I’m less keen on is the bottom section that covers the power supply and a couple of the 3.5in drive bays. For some reason Phanteks has perforated the entire top of it, and put a large hole in the side, so you can see much of the ugly mess of cables and you don’t get airflow isolation.

The power button is on the front edge. The IO is on the left side, and consists of two USBs and audio.

Overall, this is well thought out, good value case for a high-end PC that requires serious cooling power.
