CONCLUSION

   The Enthoo Luxe Tempered Glass Edition Full Tower is one of the best looking PC cases to reach our lab lately not only thanks to its tempered glass left side panel but also because of its 4 RGB LED strips placed on both sides. For good or bad it’s not as large as some other full towers (some even made by Phanteks themselves) but it still has room for E-ATX mainboards, up to eight 2.5/3.5” drives (10 with two extra brackets), three 5.25" drives, 7 fans and/or three radiators, 347mm long graphics cards, 193mm tall CPU coolers and 318mm long power supply units. The hinges on which the tempered glass is secured and the 6-way fan hub are two nice features but I wasn’t expecting the lack of a speed control knob or button. Having four 140mm fans pre-installed right from the factory is also something we don’t see a lot and although some people may end up replacing them I think the majority out there will keep them especially since they are not what I’d call loud even at full speed. Also with a total of 4 air-filters (front/top/bottom) chances are you will never have to clean the interior of the Enthoo Luxe Tempered Glass Edition. I still don’t know why Phanteks placed 4 vertical 2.5” SSD mounts but only two brackets but my honest opinion is that they should had bundled two more.

   As I type these lines the Enthoo Luxe Tempered Glass Edition full tower by Phanteks retails for USD179.99 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and for 193.50Euros inside the EU (Amazon.de) a price tag which is quite balanced for what this chassis offers. Of course there are many similar offerings at that exact price tag including the quite excellent 509 ROG Edition by IN WIN so in the end it all comes down to what you like more. Still there’s no denying that the Enthoo Luxe Tempered Glass Edition is one of the best full towers in the market today and that’s why it gets our Golden Award.
