Conclusion and Verdict
The Enthoo Pro is a beast of a chassis and a solid offering that blends the best of working and functional features, sleek looks, and solid construction. Just about everything we could ask for (and more) in a mid-range chassis is present in the Enthoo Pro. Phanteks has hit the nail dead-on with regards to the majority of the finer details.
There are an abundant amount of options whether you prefer air cooling or liquid cooling. From the start of this review to the end, the familiarity of the flagship Enthoo Primo was present and the features translate very well to the smaller size, much to my surprise! The possibilities for different configurations leave much of the customization in the user’s hands and that in and of itself deserves a ton of praise. Phanteks really did their homework for their first entry into the chassis fray and boy did they deliver! The sub-$100 bracket just got extremely interesting.
That said, there are some things that could be improved upon in future iterations such as implementing a completely tool-less feature for SSDs as well as a vented version of the power supply hiding bracket.
I am very excited for future chassis from Phanteks as they have a clear winner here in the Enthoo Pro. Phanteks continues to school the competition when it comes to the price/feature ratio.
The Phanteks Enthoo Pro chassis can be found online at various e-tailers for $99.99 USD.
