Phanteks Enthoo Primo Review

👤by David Mitchelson Comments 📅18-09-13
Conclusion

Phanteks Enthoo Primo can be summed up in just one word: monolith.

For a first-time product, Phanteks really need to be commended for such a valiant effort. We have been really impressed by what we have seen in this new computer chassis and we can certainly recommend it.

From a build quality point of view, Primo oozes excellence. It’s been a while since we have seen such good quality engineering and thoughtful design work. It’s quite clear Phanteks have spent a lot of time carefully planning this project, implementing some brilliant features whilst maintaining generous amounts of clearance for an assortment of hardware.

After just an initial observation it’s quite obvious this chassis is touted as being equipped for water-cooling support. Inside, there are numerous sizes and orientations available for avid cooling enthusiasts to plan out a new system build. In this particular aspect, Primo has extensive coverage which other cases on the market can only dream of offering.



The only complaint we have about Primo is the lack of XL-ATX support – which we really expect from a case of this stature.

Priced at £200 (GBP) / $250 (USD) many of you, (as we were) will be surprised what is on offer for this sum of money. Other cases in the same price-range do not offer the same quality and features – Primo is simply in another league.
