Phanteks Enthoo Elite case now up for pre-order, for £800

The Phanteks Enthoo Elite chassis that we've seen house some of the most exciting looking PCs over the past year at special events, is now available to the general public. It's an enormous chassis that is shipped out in its own padded flight case. You will have to pay through the nose for it though, as it costs a whopping £800.

Designed to be the enthusiast and case modder's dream, the Enthoo Elite has modular side panels and reconfigurable internals to let you truly customise the layout and purpose of your system. If you prefer silence, thicker side panels are an option, or you can remove much of them entirely to allow for greater airflow and cooling potential.

The sheer size of the Enthoo Elite lets users install up to two individual systems – one up to E-ATX, the oother mini-ITX – as well as more than 18 storage drives in various sizes and configurations. There's also support for vertical, as well as horizontal GPU mounting and additional covers to hide away cables to keep the system looking neat.

Water cooling mounts allow for up to five radiators, even taking up to 560mm designs in the front of the chassis. There are pre-fitted mounts for reservoirs too, making installation much easier than in standard cases.

The exterior is made of anodized aluminium and powdered coated steel, giving the Enthoo Elite a very clean look, while the tempered glass side panels means everyone can see what you've done with the interior. The Front I/O ports come with four USB 3.0 ports, a USB 3.1 Type-C port, twin reset switches, an HDMI 2.0 port and the usual headphone and microphone jacks.

The shipping case alone is rather impressive

Available to pre-order now at OCUK, the Phanteks Enthoo Elite will set you back £800 and will be incorporated in a number of upcoming 8Pack systems. It's expected to start shipping towards the end of February.

KitGuru Says: This is way more than I would ever personally spend on a case, but it is an amazing piece of kit. Any big system builders among you tempted by this monster?

  1. What is it about companies putting out massive pricing for just ‘nice’ stuff lately?? Not like it sucks you off or anything!!!

  2. Sorry but it looks boring, it doesn’t really add anything new that I can see the majority want. Bigger cases are pretty out of fashion generally as people look at MATX and ITX as most are doing nothing more than 2-way sli/xfire

    Products are already attaining cooling that is within the parameters and letting good OCing work and AIO are really starting to take the market well. Integrating the radiator side of things into the main panels and minimising wasted space should be priorities.

    Corsair. NZXT and others have both elements being produced under their brand so some proper integration where it can have built in reservoir, piping, rads with fans etc would be great to see.

    It was my dream case. It appeals for its spectacular water cooling support, and support for a secondary ITX build within. I was hoping it would be at most between £550 and £600 based on their original estimates, if not less, but I’ve sadly been priced out, and the flight case adds clutter.

  4. Honestly though there are other cases for less money that already do this (offer massive water cooling support).

    Also there really isn’t the need for super water cooling that a standard sized case can’t do these days, I get it’s an option and some just do it for the looks but the market is small and something along the lines of having an all-in-one case seems to me from spending time on forums something much more likely to sell and be wanted.

  5. If I would pay 800$ I will spend it on Case Labs cases

  6. I’ve earned $84 ,000 at this point sometime this year working on the internet and also I am only a full time college student . I’m benefiting from a web business opportunity I discovered and consequently I’ve made this kind of decent money . It is actually seriously simple to use and also I am just so thankful that I found out about it . The potential with this is limitless . Here’s everything I do, please have a look at my account for site name >>>

  7. Well proud owner of a Phanteks Elite and I’m confused about this discussion about the price on
    the Elite case.
    And if you go onto caselabs store and configure a case with some water cooling performance .
    Then we need to get some bacis fact cleared up today’s caselabs lets you configure ur options but they removed the old possibilities to modfiy the case setup and that was really good.
    Now they sell kits etc,coincidentally this ended of being a lot more expensive this very unfortunate
    Since Caselabs is mainstream branding today, in other words nothing special about a Caselabs today and 90% are fanboys of Caselabs .

    “Cost for exampel equal to the Elites prefitted watercooling option in same class”

    There are 2 cases in the Phanteks Elite cost .
    The SMA8 Magnum is the logical choice more or less and you will need to buy an pedestal to match the Elitet so i made a configuredshooping cart with prices and well above 1000dollar

    And what exactly makes caselabs a better choice then it way more expensive for exampel caselabs cases then they only 2 options left as I see logical is esthetic/Looks/design?
    And personal experience of they Phanteks;Elite well I have a magnum SMA8 with a pedestal since 4 years back and I own the Elite and my opinion comparing them in terms of quality design Phanteks will win hands down its complete with parts for wattercooling no extra costs etc
    The design of the Elite is the best looking case is most ppl will agree.
    And compare the design and versatility stock it cant be compared caselabs has gone mainstream with their products and everything more expensive .
    Design on the caselabs cases I’m betting my 6 years old daughter would do a lot better design the caselabs products probably, its looks like an old into stove more or less.

    And judgemtal statements I’d rather buy that case etc sure fine but don’t write that’s to expensive when you haven’t owned something and actually have ur on facts and values of the case, that’s not an intellectual way of getting new experience and being an overzealous and narrow minded fanboy is tragic .
    So it worth every dollar in my experience.
    My next case will be whatever brand delivers the best option i might be caselabs?

    There i a lot of need for exampel this case on the market first of sure ppl by smaller cases but it probably several 100.000 of thousands planing or owning a case in this category wattercooling is growling a lot everyday trends come and go like it’s supposed to so they have done extensive market analysis and strategy that’s guaranteed 100% .
