Phanteks Enthoo Primo big tower case is out

Phanteks enters the case market with the Enthoo Primo, a big tower case that shoots straight for the top segment of the market. Measuring 250mm x 650mm x 600mm (W x H x D), this full-tower case is made from steel and uses aluminum frontplates. It weighs a whopping 17.9kg and supports ATX, EATX, mATX, and SSI EEB motherboards. Inside is room for eight expansion cards, two power supply, five external 5.25" devices, six 3.5" HDDs (2x 3 HDD cages), and a total of 12 SSD mounting slots.

There's room for up to ten 140mm fans (or sixteen 120mm fans!) and Phanteks includes five PH-F140SP fans by default. Besides air cooling, the case also has plenty of room for watercooling, there's room for up to five watercooling radiators.

Shipments will start in September for 229.90EUR (incl. VAT).

In some sense Phanteks already accustomed us to release highend quality products Their cpu coolers beats in comparision tests any other brands from air cooling. Now after several years of hard working, Phanteks presents today a new work of art called Enthoo Primo. When you look at the pictures and specification, what we get is perhaps beyond all expectations, even with this brand. At some level it can be said that this model sets new standards in quality and functions in computer chassis industry. Enthoo fits in Full Tower type of sizes and on the left side panel you can find a window through which its easy to see the equipment. Elegant front and top are made from high quality brushed aluminum, painted in black.

Behind the front door which opens to the left, there is hidden five 5.25” bays, where you can mount your Blu-Ray drives, temperature controllers, fan regulators or even a large reservoir for water cooling. Inside you will find a place on six 3.5” hard drives and six 2.5” drives or if you are a fan of SSD, then you can install together twelve such discs.

For water cooling maniacs Phanteks Enthoo Primo will be a real treat – you can fit there five big radiators, including two of maximum size 480mm. In addition manufacturer found a place to mount two reservoirs – one in the middle and the other one near expansion slots. As if all this were not enough, behind mainboard tray there is a bracket to mount a real pump.

For those who prefer air cooling, producer installed five highend fans, which works at 19 dBA and together form an air flow rate of almost 700 m3/h. If for someone this is not enough, there could be mounted maximally 16 (really sixteen) fans inside the case. Its not everything about cooling - the maximum CPU cooler height which fits inside the Enthoo is 207mm, so even really huge radiators would fit without any problems.

Phanteks Enthoo has two strips of LEDs illuminated in blue – one at the front and the other one at the top. Together with two preinstalled fans at the front which glare in Blue, the image of computer in evenings or during nights will be knockdown. However for people who does not like any lighting, the case has option to turn all of them off.

This is not the end – due to common fact that new processors and graphic cards require more and more power, the Enthoo allow to mount not one, but two full ATX power supplies and one of them has separate wind tunnel, so the hot air would not appear near our motherboard.
