7 years later and I'm watching Joanne and her very informative review of this case. It will be here in 2 days and I have just learned everything about it. It's nice that the drive cages have places for fans but I don't see where there is room for them with the front fan installed. But it's a great though. Of course with inflation the cases are $30 more. Thanks for this.
Here I am 5 years later and just bought this case but with the hinged tempered glass side, honestly I love it, and I just got it, it's pretty damned awesome still for the price.
@@jeromebaldonado1561 I have a MSI X570 Ace with a 3900x, 32gb of ram, and a GTX 2070 super. Windows is on a gen4 NVME drive, and then I have a sata m.2 2tb drive I use for games, and a 4tb hdd for everything else. I carried over a Blu-ray drive from my previous computer, so I had to get a case that would support a 5 1/4inch drive.
One of the best investments i ever made. Carried this girl from the post office in blistering cold with snow reaching knee hight. Had to take several breaks to catch my breath as the box was gigantic and a bit heavy.
9 years later, also just got one of these (price has been jumping around $115-129). Still the best value for a "high end" case out there, and this review was great. I was surprised to learn how long ago it was designed. They sure nailed it! Some Changes: There are now 2 more SSD mounts above the Phanteks logo on the side of the drive bay area (above her hand @14:25). They now have 4 pin connections on the Fan Hub. The front panel is now 2x USB3 and 1x USB-C, no more USB2. I'd have preferred the 2x USB2.
Currently building my first PC and I’m SO GLAD I found your video. You really go in depth on what this case can do, and how to get around it. Thank you so much!
I love this review. No one ever (literally and metaphorically) breaks down a case and goes so far to show every detail. I am considering building my first PC with the Enthoo Pro M. Are you going to make a review?
Thank you so much for this review! I just wanna say, I've spent WEEKS trying to figure out what case to buy for my upcoming build (Coffee Lake with 16GB ram and a DH-15 cpu cooler and the NZXT g12 bracket + an AIO for my 1080 Ti FE) and looking for cases was really a headache. I had to choose between the Define R6, Meshify C, Cougar Panzer Max, CM H500P Mesh, Silverstone RL06, and some other cases that I've already forgotten. At least this video clarifies everything for me now. I've had my doubts first. But I am totally convinced, especially during the disassembly part. Thank you so much! It's a really great review! Subscribed to your channel now :D
My Enthoo Pro finally shipped ! I decided to get this after watching your review. "THE FEATURES , THE FEATURES!!!" LOL Joanne you are too cute. Good work with the reviews, I'm in love with the case.
Whenever anybody refers me to a case review, my first question is this: "Did Joanne do the case review?" If their answer is "No", then I always reply, "WHY NOT???" You're terrific, Joanne.
Excellent review! Just purchased one and you have the absolute best review with complete detail and extremely helpful. Been too long since my last build and read many good reviews for this brand. Prb buy another case like this real soon now that I've been informed. I will be searching for your other reviews as well ! Five Stars!!!
probably the most well informed and most well spoken video I have ever came across about this case. I'm glad I decided to check this one out. Thanks Joanne.
Man i wish all reviews were like this one. Great job Joanne. Appreciate the vid, even though its been out for awhile i just bought this case. This breakdown helped me figure some stuff out that i didnt know about! Cheers
Great video and well explained. I know this was recorded 8 years ago, but never hurts to ask a question, I hope. I have noticed that there are the power connectors on the back of the case. The question is, why are they there if there are the same connectors on the power supply? Is there a place where you can connect the power cable to the case on the bottom then use the supplied connectors on the Motherboard? Just wondering.
Wow! its now Jan 2018 and still an amazing case with all the options, quality, and features. I've built 3 builds for me and two other ppl in this case, and keep looking for a new case. But there is never anything for a decent price with all that this case has to offer. There's a reason they still make this case after more than 5 years.
planning to do my first 'ground up' build throughout the next year or so and choose this case to do it. i'm trying to keep each component below $200 bucks and space the buys out to keep things affordable, and this case seemed to be a good mix of good price with lots of upgrade options.
I recently ordered the Phanteks Enthoo Pro TG which is mostly the same with a new tempered glass side panel, pretty excited! I think it's an amazing deal for the price for sure.
word of warning: those small openings on the side of the front panel do not have any dust filters, so unless you cover them with something your case will be full of dust in no time.
Thank you for this video, i am building a plex server and the thermaltake case i got was the cheapest case i've ever seen! Upgraded to this one for my massive hard drive array. Thank you!
So few reviews for this case, I have been looking for a good case that can house optical drives, and yes, it is useful for someone who still have blu-ray discs. There is no case like this nowadays. The version of this case has lost the drive bays. And luckily, this case is still available, but has become a bit more expensive for some reason. But still, a great and detail review. Thanks so much!!
hello Joanne :3 I think will be a great idea to have a regular ATX board and a video card example inside the case so people can see how all blends and work together < "sorry that might be too much right? > lol but will help visually (visualmente)"Spanish" to take a decision later on, great video by the way
This video convinced me that Phantek model is the best choice for a big tower , much more interesting than the Corsair ones . I also like its simple design . Thank you .
Thank you to HECK for removing the top cover, I was debating between the other phantek cases because I thought this one foolishly didn't have a top dust filter, as my previous had a magnetic one, no other video I watched on this case showed the filter in the top cover!
Just looking at this case for a brand new build when rtx 4000 and brand new cpus arrive later this year and thank you honestly thank you for this video! I think it was very informative :) 👍🏽
I am buying this case. Thanks for the thorough review so I can envision how it is structured before I get delivery. Your video was very professionally shot, and you are a captivating host. Best regards. P.S. I will marry you if you want to move to Toronto, Canada. I will buy you a Lexus if you come. Haha
Case looks nice. Great features. Not sure if the CPU header is used for the hub on the back of the motherboard and how the CPU fan connector will reach back there. Most newer boards have a 4-pin PWM header and a CPU 4-pin PWM header next to each other so maybe they are suggesting to plug the hub into the alternate 4-pin PWM header, not the CPU? Nice tie downs, cables, grommets and space. The included fans are also 4-pin which is a must with today's newer boards. Nice of Joanne to show it off and describe it's details of course.
How is the case? I'm thinking of also buying this case for my first build in about 2 weeks because I'll be buying it for black friday, have you had any problems with the acrylic panel?
Kyle Kenzitt I live outside the US, so all the computer pieces are still being shipped by sea... still gotta wait for it. You'll probably have it built before me
What a review!!!!! Man, I wish I had watched this video first before buying a case. Would have saved me tons of time trying to make up my mind. So thorough! I don't think I've ever seen such a quality and complete review!
Very informative review.It could have been shorter though. I would love to see a you do a build on the case.I'd get the non window version and just use my own materials for a window
First video I seen anywhere where someone uses a spinning thingie to shocase instead of like the other guys stumbling around all over, lol. She's so smart!
It would help a little if you showed users like what a motherboard looks like in there or something. Helps us Visualize what the case might be like. I have it, and I filled it with watercooling, and it looks wonderful.
I just ordered mine yesterday coming from a Cooler Master haf xb.... I got tired of my current case needing to occupy space alongside my PC desk which is only 4 ft by basically 24 ft and I need to condense things in the room and get rid of a pointless wobbly stand that my PC case is still sitting on. I was torn but among this case, the fractal design Focus G and I think the thermaltake Versa H25 and maybe one other PC case. How are you liking you're phanteks Enthoo pro?
@@motoryzen The PC cases you mentioned are very attractive. Those are all old fashion traditional PC cases. Which are similar to mine, Phanteks Enthoo Pro. No inside partitions. Have 5.25" bays. I personally prefer to put the case down from the desk to the floor. Which will remove small potential vibration. Because I am still an old fashion guy, who is still using HDDs alongside with PCIE SDD.
@thunderbird2495 I have multiple Blu-ray burners in which I'm still adding movies to my massive movie collection comma because I refuse to deal with Netflix or Prime or Disney plus or any other Media or TV shows vendor in which they can decide They can remove shows that I like that I've already paid the monthly subscription just to watch Given that my desk is a raising desk made by flexi spot Comma often I am trying to make a point to change the height of my desk from sitting for me To standing sometimes back to sitting And given the height Difference Of certain parts of the desk and I want to make sure I have maximum room underneath the disc Comma I'll have to put mine on top of my desk right beside my monitor which is not a problem. Otherwise I definitely agree with putting the big PC tower on the floor to make reaching things such as the the io on the front and the Indianola Blu-ray burner drives
+Joanne Tech Lover same here with me. only watched this coz i had it on my part list on pcpartpicker so thanks sooo much for the review even if it was like a year ago
I sure do! What I ended up doing is connecting the PWM Hub to a regular Chassis Fan header (Which also supported PWM) on the MoBo, and plugged the CPU Fan in the CPU_FAN header. Everything works fine like this.
Could u do a pc build video? That would be nice! But ya thanks for the review now I figured out what case I'm going to buy for my new build I'm working on!
Joanne - Thanks for posting this. I've about the acrylic window being sensitive to scratching. Has this issue been fixed by Phanteks as of today......October 3rd, 2015?
Here in 2018. Just bought a variant of this case, and have perhaps a newbie question (although I've been assembling systems for more than 10 yrs). If you plug the fan hub into the cpu header, should you just plug your cpu fan(s) into the hub? Thanks to anyone in advance for your help!
since you got this Case, what is Max GPU size with this case does it fit the Asus GTX 1070 Strix Triple Fan also the Asus GTX 1080 and is this case large enough compared to the Antec Twelve hundred V 3 Gaming Case
Im using gigabyte extreme and there is still free space so even bigger gpu would work . i think my gpu is about same size as strix so you wont have any problems with space. If you get this case I would recommend you to change 200mm fan to 2x 140mm . I dont about Antex case but it looks about same size as this one.
is there any way to fit a 3.5 hard drive with the 2 hard dirve cages removed ( like put one on top where the 5.25 drive bay for example ) can we ? i wanna to do this for much better airflow !
Joanne Tech Lover I know NCIX has it in one of their packages at least, they had one video on it. It's a small cheap case, but looks very good, many colors, and was nice to build in :) Here is a link to the ones they have: search.ncix.com/search/?qcatid=0&q=aerocool+ds+cube I chose the red one due to the ROG motherboard and graphics card I have. Will water cool later :P
Hey Joanne what is the exact distance from back fan to optic/hdd bay? Edit #1 Thank you for info about window quality,didn't hear anyone mention it. I will order lexan sheet.What is the thickness of window on case?
Excellent review Joanne , its a shame that newegg seems to have dropped the ball on case overviews since you left, hardly any at all. In fact product overviews are few and far between.
Got here randomly searching for a review about that case, cute, funny girl doing a good (almost) complete review, nice ! Got a lot of info on the case I couldn't get elsewhere, except how a configuration would really look like in there (also about a 2x120 rad at the top, which is the thing i'm looking for)
holy crap when i first saw this case i thought it was going to be 2 120mm fans or maybe 2 140mm i the front but that fan is stupid big, hell it looks like it can fan my entire room
Its a really nice case, definitely has a lot of water cooling potential. You should check out the Enthoo Luxe, has some improvements over the Pro. "OMG ITS AMAZING!" was my reaction too when I first saw it. great review, and good note on that PWM hub, haven't seen anyone mention that before in any other review.
7 years later and I'm watching Joanne and her very informative review of this case. It will be here in 2 days and I have just learned everything about it.

Same here, I love it!

This is one of the best reviews I have seen for a case. Bravo!
Ordering the slightly updated version for my new build.
I bought one for my first build, secondary computer. The price can't be beat for its versatility and ease of installation.

I'm glad the power supply shroud is removable. Hooking up power cables in a case with non-removable shroud is a huge PITA.
Awesome video 6+ years later and i was able to use this to install n4 new fans in my case. thanks!

Just found one of the cases ex display for £60
Your review sold it to me! You have a new subscriber 😍
9 years later and I just ordered this case.
Honestly the absolute best case review i have ever seen! Great job!
word of warning: those small openings on the side of the front panel do not have any dust filters, so unless you cover them with something your case will be full of dust in no time.
You made this case look even better in this review. Lighting maybe?
I've never seen anyone review a case with this much detail before. Ever.
How could I not subscribe to this channel now! :D

Sexy case, a bit unfortunate with the front filter, but I guess you can always replace it with a demciflex filter.
Very sexy!
What is a demciflex filter?

Love the review, thank you for the extra information
Thank you Joanne! Very informative.
Hello, I have one question. If you insert the PWM Hub on the CPU_FAN header, then where do you insert the CPU Cooler fan cable into?
It was a year ago but did you ever get an answer for this?
I sure do! What I ended up doing is connecting the PWM Hub to a regular Chassis Fan header (Which also supported PWM) on the MoBo, and plugged the CPU Fan in the CPU_FAN header. Everything works fine like this.
@@PlasmaBlade02 And in this case the hub controls directly the CPU fan or all the fans altogether?

Gotta afford the parts at the moment >.<

Joanne - Thanks for posting this. I've about the acrylic window being sensitive to scratching. Has this issue been fixed by Phanteks as of today......October 3rd, 2015?
how is this 10 years old? looks like it was filmed yesterday.
Here in 2018. Just bought a variant of this case, and have perhaps a newbie question (although I've been assembling systems for more than 10 yrs). If you plug the fan hub into the cpu header, should you just plug your cpu fan(s) into the hub? Thanks to anyone in advance for your help!
got this , case is monster , its much wider than it looks like on videos and cooling is great just get 2 fans on top or aio
since you got this Case, what is Max GPU size with this case
does it fit the Asus GTX 1070 Strix Triple Fan also the Asus GTX 1080
and is this case large enough compared to the Antec Twelve hundred V 3 Gaming Case
Im using gigabyte extreme and there is still free space so even bigger gpu would work . i think my gpu is about same size as strix so you wont have any problems with space.
If you get this case I would recommend you to change 200mm fan to 2x 140mm .
I dont about Antex case but it looks about same size as this one.
Thanks heaps for the info.
is there any way to fit a 3.5 hard drive with the 2 hard dirve cages removed ( like put one on top where the 5.25 drive bay for example )
can we ?
i wanna to do this for much better airflow !
Adapter.
You can even take off the Phanteks logo on the hd shroud!
Have a look at the Aerocool DS Cube. A great small MicroATX case. Not enough about it on UA-cam.
Do you have a link to buy?
I'll see what my budget can afford :)
Joanne Tech Lover I know NCIX has it in one of their packages at least, they had one video on it. It's a small cheap case, but looks very good, many colors, and was nice to build in :) Here is a link to the ones they have: search.ncix.com/search/?qcatid=0&q=aerocool+ds+cube
I chose the red one due to the ROG motherboard and graphics card I have. Will water cool later :P
thankfully removing the hardrive shelves looks easy still sucks you have to remove them to install the 200mm
I would give a thumbs up just for the Amano art book behind
Cool video, super informative and helpful! Thank you!
Hey Joanne what is the exact distance from back fan to optic/hdd bay?
Edit #1
Thank you for info about window quality,didn't hear anyone mention it. I will order lexan sheet.What is the thickness of window on case?
Thanks for the GREAT review. I bought the case because of it.
No problem!
Glad you liked it, and happy to know this video was helpful to you :)
If i were to remove both of the drive cages, is there any other way to install a 3.5 hhd? Is the drive cages the only way to install them?
review on an audiophile headphone ? or a surround sound system to go with a gaming rig ?
Maybe in the future!
cool =)
Excellent review Joanne , its a shame that newegg seems to have dropped the ball on case overviews since you left, hardly any at all. In fact product overviews are few and far between.
Thank you!
Yeah, I wonder why they don't do many unboxings anymore.
Must be busy with interviews and event coverage!
Beautiful Case. Thank you Joanne ! :-)
Phanteks Enthoo Pro TG PH-ES614PTG_BK Integrated RGB Lighting Control Tempered Glass Side Panel ATX Full Tower Computer Case - 24y5m
Nice review, love the case
Thank you!
It's pretty cool :D
I like this case, is a good option in relation to Corsair. But Corsair have that special thing close to my heart.
Me too!
Lol, why do you love Corsair?
I like Corsair because of the agressive and clean lines.
Got here randomly searching for a review about that case, cute, funny girl doing a good (almost) complete review, nice !
Got a lot of info on the case I couldn't get elsewhere, except how a configuration would really look like in there (also about a 2x120 rad at the top, which is the thing i'm looking for)
holy crap when i first saw this case i thought it was going to be 2 120mm fans or maybe 2 140mm i the front but that fan is stupid big, hell it looks like it can fan my entire room
Lol, but with larger fans, you get more airflow with lower RPM :)
Its a really nice case, definitely has a lot of water cooling potential. You should check out the Enthoo Luxe, has some improvements over the Pro. "OMG ITS AMAZING!" was my reaction too when I first saw it. great review, and good note on that PWM hub, haven't seen anyone mention that before in any other review.
I think so too :D.
Enthoo Luxe sounds expensive lol.
I'm glad I was able to talk about something others did not cover :)
Great review! One question: Is it possible to mount only the top HDD case to free up extra space for a radiator at the bottom?
Yes it is
Thanks Martin.
Does this case support push/pull for the top radiator mounts?
