Phanteks Enthoo Luxe

Phanteks is now an extremely popular chassis manufacturer after the huge popularity of the Enthoo Pro which is a phenomenal case. They have been continuing to dominate the feature to price ratio. Today, we are going to be talking about the Enthoo Luxe, an enthusiast grade chassis from Phanteks. 

The Enthoo Luxe comes in two colors: Black and white with LED strips. The black one costs about $139 where as the white version costs 10 dollars more. In accordance to the name, the Luxe brings a lot of luxurious features and adds it to the massively popular Enthoo Pro. The case looks gorgeous and elegant from the outside. The aluminium exterior panels have a sandy textured surface which makes the case both look and feel great. Unlike aluminium ,the case doesn't attract finger marks which is a bonus.

The side panel comes with a dual windowed design similar to the ones seen on the Enthoo Pro. One large side panel window reveals the hardware inside and another small angular window reveals the Phanteks logo on the hard drive area. At the front, there are three optical drive slots. On the front IO, there are two USB 3 ports, two USB 2 ports along with two audio jacks, reset button and LED control button. The power button is located on the top of the case. The power button remains illuminated while the system is turned on. The Enthoo Luxe comes with Ambient multi color LED system which looks absolutely fantastic. The LED lighting strips run along each side of the front and the top panel of the case. It is an awesome inclusion and it also helps to match your case LED color with your internal hardware color scheme. There is a removable dust filter on the front panel.The wire for the LED strips are attached to the front panel which can be detached as well. A 200 mm. fan is included at the front with dual 140 and dual 120 mm. fan support as well.

At the rear, there is an included 120 mm. fan with height adjustable mounting strips along with 8 PCI slots below the rear fan. The whole case stands on big and sturdy rubberized feet. Two removable dust filters cover the bottom of the case. The top is also covered by a huge dust filter which can be removed by pressing at the rear end of the dust filter. On the top, there is an included 140 mm. fan. On top, 360 and 420 mm. radiators are also supported which is pretty impressive. Fans can also be installed above the frame for more internal clearance or for push and pull configurations. 

The side panels swivel to open which is a neat feature that I personally like. Inside the case, everything is top notch. There are many cable routing holes inside the case. The cable routing holes come with quality grommets which helps you manage and conceal all the cables. So, cable management is easy in this case. An optional power supply bracket is also included with a single rubber grommet cut out on the PSU bracket. The power supply bracket can be installed using thumb screws from the other side. The hard drive cages are modular and they are accessed from the rear. The hard drive caddies are great , easy to install and intuitive. The Enthoo Luxe has tons of water cooling capabilities. So, water cooling is no problem for this case. A reservoir bracket is also included with the case which can be mounted on the hard drive cage wall for water cooling. The included reservoir bracket has multiple mounting holes for different sized reservoirs. The case also comes with a water cooling pump bracket. So, water cooling inside this case should be utterly seamless. The hard drive cages also support 120 mm. fans. The interior of the case is very spacious with more than enough amount of room for long GPUs. The case has about 13 inches of clearance for GPUs with the top hard drive cage installed. Behind, there is ample amount of room for cable management and the included  cable management strips make it even easier to manage your cables. A fan hub is located at the back which can be slightly re-positioned. The fan HUB has support for six fans. Two SSD mounting positions are also available on the back with an included SSD mounting bracket. The accessory box of the Enthoo Luxe and almost every other Phanteks case is great with all the screws differentiated. The finished build should look fantastic with nearly no cables visible. Assembly inside the case is hassle free and very easy. So, the Enthoo Luxe is an outstanding case for enthusiasts,gamers and modders as well considering the tons features that come with it and the not too high price tag. It is indeed one of the best enthusiast grade cases available on the market.
