The packaging for Luxe shows the interior of the case and showcases a number of features including cable management, ambient LED lighting and the removable dust filters.

Inside the case you'll find the usual pack of accessories. Usual, that is, for a Phanteks case, but rather more extensive than the accessories that you get with many other brands of case.

It is interesting to see that Phanteks includes a bag of cable ties however most people won't need them as the integrated cable management straps do a fine job. The Toolbox contains the various screws that you need, all neatly arranged in the compartments of a plastic case.

Phanteks distinguishes itself by including two pieces of hardware that you do not usually see in the shape of a water pump bracket and a reservoir bracket. If you are using air cooling or a closed loop water cooler these parts are irrelevant but anyone building a custom liquid cooler will welcome their inclusion.

In addition to the standard accessory pack I also received a number of accessories from a new product range that Phanteks has produced for the whole Enthoo Series.

Here's the list of seven accessories along with their UK prices:

• PWM hub for 11 fans PH-PWHUB: £12.99
• Y-splitter cable PH-CB-Y3P: £2.99
• Pump bracket PH-PUMBKT_01: £5.99
• Single slot SSD bracket PH-SDBKT_01: £4.99
• Double slot SSD bracket PH-SDBKT_02: £5.99
• 1 metre LED kit PH-LEDKT_M1: £13.99
• 2 metre LED kit PH-LEDKT_M2: £16.99

The curious thing is that you actually receive a number of these accessories with your Enthoo case. As mentioned the Luxe comes with the pump bracket and there are two single bay SSD brackets on the back of the motherboard tray. You also get a PWM hub that has connections for six fans, so if you hook up some Y cables you can install a truly massive number of fans.

Two accessories jump off the list and they are the one metre and two metre LED lighting strips that you can use to enhance the LEDs that are built in to the Luxe.
