Overall we are very impressed with the Phanteks Enthoo Primo.  Phanteks have already earned a much-vaunted reputation in the cooling sector and this case is sure to cement their status as a company capable of creating some of the finest enthusiast grade products available today.

We are very impressed with the appearance and build quality of the Enthoo Primo and it presents a formidable challenge to competing flagship chassis designs.

The brushed aluminium finish looks marvellous and ensures the case will satisfy the high end enthusiast audience. It looks very expensive in the flesh, which is always a bonus.

The interior design of the case is quite unusual and has been suitably geared towards supporting water-cooling configurations. There is room for a vast array of different radiator combinations in various locations, for example you could fit two 480 mm radiators in this case.  There are also pre-drilled holes for mounting a water-cooling reservoir … sure to appeal to water-cooling enthusiasts.

The Phanteks Enthoo Primo will be priced at around £200 when it launches in September. We feel this is priced fairly competitively and will make a great alternative to the likes of the Corsair Obsidian 900D, which is significantly more expensive.

Pros

• Impressive water-cooling options.
• Interesting design.
• Innovative interior layout.
• Good value.

Cons

• Some users may want more than 6 hard drives.
• Reservoir bracket doesn't support long graphics cards.

KitGuru says: An excellent case for water-cooling which looks great and is built to the highest standards.
