Seems as though this case was release june 2026?
I just simply stumbled upon it. Perhaps this may interest some of you.
I did give the forum a boo to see if someone has posted about it. Did not find anything.

I was looking at the Enthoo Pro II Server Edition recently because it has 11 PCIe slots, I’m building up an ebay 3000 series Threadripper with an extended ATX motherboard. It needs an 8 slot case to just use a single slot GPU or PCIe card in the last PCIe slot because the 4 double spaced slots are all shifted down due to the VRM layout.
Big advantage over something like a Silverstone Alta T1 case is you can buy 8-10 cases for the cost of one Silverstone case. Same for the new Antec 900 if you only need 8 PCIe slots and don’t mind the glass side panel, sure you won’t get the same quality or features for less money, but it’s good enough.

I have an Enthoo and while I can’t speak to the Elite Server, I can say the build quality is solid and their case design didn’t hinder a clean install. So, whatever that’s worth!

Yep, but it’s flown below the radar because most people want to build RGB fishbowls. From a Reddit convo I had about it, it seems to be lower cost (in terms of BOM) version of its predecessor, which also happens to be my current case. I wouldn’t necessarily ding Phanteks for this as they’re a Dutch company and most premium EU brands have had to cut costs somewhere to remain competitive in the face of US tariffs.
I own that case. It has a surprising limitation: the upper intake bracket does not support 420 mm radiators, and if you use the front bracket for your 420, it blocks the main chamber HDD tray mount points. So basically the case forces you choose between max cooling and storage if you’re using AIOs. Things could be better for custom loops but I have no experience there. The other big problem is there isn’t a whole lot of grab points for picking up the case, which gets problematic as you load it up with HDDs and whatnot.
Fortunately you can kinda get around this by using Mountain Mods’ 120 mm and/or 140 mm fan position HDD brackets.
On the good side, there’s plenty of internal space for motherboard, PSU, GPU, and any single cooler you can think of. It also has both right and left panel fan mounts as well as easy intake pullouts (even for the PSU fan).
As you said, the build quality is excellent. Zero complaints there.
FWIW I also own the Fractal Define 7 XL (albeit still in the box, long story). I think it’s a better case overall than the Enthoo Pro II Server Edition as it can do 23 drives + a 420 mm AIO and so you don’t have to choose between 2 use cases.
I also own a Fractal Define7XL as well as a Meshify 2XL Love the cases. I know I want to built a AI Server station. this may fit the bill. Crazy I know. 
Pretty soon Gonna need to call a favour from a commercial electrician to wire up another 3000 wattts of power (two 15 amp and a 20 amp. just for my rig.
who is making that board?
