[UNhooked]

Excited getting it tomorrow

I'm expecting mine tomorrow, too. I've been drooling over this case since June and I can't wait to get my hands on it.

 

[UNhooked]

Been eyeing this case for sometime. I bought it used however to save on some $$$ like majority of my hardware.

Time to sell the NZXT

No pics, no links, nothing.. you suck OP

Case in question:

I actually really like that case (minus the side window). I still can't find a half rack for sale around my area... I might end up just buying a case. I will definitely check this one out compared to the 900D.

Only see the case on FrozenCPU and it's not out until the 28th, ARGH I'd order it today if I'd probably order it today if I could find it

They are selling them directly from their website. I just googled Phanteks Enthoo Primo and clicked the where to buy link.

this case would be perfect if it didnt have all of those damn optical bay slots! Seriously, how many people use more than 1 DVD drive, 2 tops maybe! How about making a case like this one but with 1 ODD drive and 3 or 4 intake fans in front instead? It's the best way to get cold air to the cpu HSF!

I still think that the industry needs to redo the whole ATX layout, it's about 10 years overdue.

All bitching aside, I do like the case, especially the PSU layout. This case would be ideal for multi-gpu setup

If you only have air cooling, you're looking at the wrong case.

The 5.25" bays are NOT for optical drives or other memory storage devices, they're for fan/pump controllers AND bay reservoirs. Basically looking at optical drive, fan controller, pump controller, dual bay res. That's all five slots.

While the included fan controller thing is a nice extra, I haven't seen how much power it can put out per fan connector. I'm estimating about 20 fans total for a full push/pull water build.

per the manual it says you can have 11 eleven fans total on that controller. I am planning to use 14 - 15 fans in the system. 8 for push pull on a 480mm rad 3-4 on a 480/360mm rad 2 intakes and one exhaust. I could go all out and install another 240mm rad along with the second 360mm rad. Might just do that since that would mean I wouldn't have to buy any more rads

Should be a nice build.

I was just about to submit the order when I read the specs, the AT review says it supports iTX MB's. All the rest don't mention it. Would have had to get a new MB on top of the case.

Not sure what you mean

Not sure what you mean

I have an iTX MB, if a company doesn't list iTX on the MB compatibility chart, there's a good chance the mounting holes won't line up. They do list mATX, but the holes on mATX & iTX are slightly off.

I guess an iTX board in a case this damn big is retarded any ways lol. Now I gotta go look at MB's.

The case has arrived!! Now to wait and get 1 more GTX 780

Are you sure it's off? I am pretty sure ITX uses 4 of the 9 ATX mounting hole and mATX 6 of those same holes. But if it doesn't it would make sense for a company to advertise that they have mounting points for ITX. Just useless on a case this massive.

Anyways Quebert, its obviously a full size ATX case. That is a Full size ATX mobo (ITX is only 1 slot). So It can certainly fit a normal ATX or mATX mobo. Now if ITX doesn't use use the the 4 mounting points of ATX then it just means that it also has post points for ITX. So don't worry about it.

that case sort of reminds me of the old school CM pretorian style cases.
