Long overdue is our review of the Phanteks Enthoo Primo! This case is a behemoth.


If you have a big case fetish, this case is for you. It's ample without being huge for no reason. If you are looking for a full tower that isn't unwieldy or a tower case that can easily support a no-compromises open loop liquid cooling setup, then this case is the one you've been looking for.


There are also a ton of gnarly and wicked case builds all around the internet with this case. Overclock.net has a ton of interesting builds. Check it out:

Nice to see that you are getting around to taking a look at Phanteks' gear. I wish I had Primo and could post my build log but if you ever do a review of the Enthoo Pro/Luxe I'll be sure to show off my log then

you guys really should take a look at the matx enthoo evolv. I have one and am interested to hear teksyndicate's opinion.

I don't have a big case fetish, but i do have a fetish for cases with exceedingly great build quality that have dust filters everywhere and are properly dust-proof. Cases that also manage to have a very functional interior that's been well thought out.
If i had more dosh to dish out on a particularly higher budget build, this would be my first and only choice.
Alas, for the time being i am going for the H440.

Great video Wendell, I used this case for my first custom loop build, it was really nice to work with and allowed me to use a 45mm thick 420mm raidiator in the top and a 60mm thick 280 in the bottom with no problems. Since taking the picture below I've managed to make up a graphics card support using one of the spare expansion slot covers so it now sits perfectly straight.

Yep. Just found my next case...

This is a great build. Do you have a build log or more extensive set of pictures? Can you post a link?

Different case Wendell but it is a Phanteks case. I really love the Phanteks cases now when I got mine. Love how the whole case can be stripped since it is held together by screws rather then rivets.

Thanks! I've not got a build log but I'm sure I could get some better pics of it and send you a link.

Hello All here in my last build.... not done yet still making the cables. Alway use Corsaire till I gave this Phanteks case a try.... Its well built with endless ways to build in it and it's very mod friendly seeing how a lot of the case is put together with screws....

Not as tidy as some of the others, and I ran out of white tubing when I moved my reservoir (it's on order), but I'm still fairly happy with it, for now.
