I'm working on a new build and I'm working on figuring out what case to use, I'm liking the Phanteks Enthoo Pro as it looks like a good quality case with lots of room at a decent price. I'm just wondering if anybody here has used it and could give me some general info on the quality of the case, and if there's any issues with it I should be aware of before buying it. Also I know the internal structure is metal but I haven't been able to find out conclusively if the outside of the case itself is metal or plastic, so info on that would be great too.

Thanks for all the help.

I was thinking of an enthoo but decided my cat would claw the hell out of it.
I ended up getting a phanteks 600s which I really like. Front and top panel are magnetic so you can easily remove them if needed.
Per research removing them doesn’t help cool that much more but overall I really like this case. Hard drive mounts in the back, hinged door, easy cable routing.

Gamers Nexus gave the P400A the best case of the year award, and they should be pretty much in the same ballpark both in price and in looks and functionality.

If I needed a new case for a build right now, that one would likely be at the top of my list. I first saw it when watching a HardwareCanucks' review on it.

It has a lot of similar features my Be Quiet case has, but costs less and doesn't have a front door. The airflow is really good even with the panel in place, and I love how a person can simply tilt it if more airflow is needed.

The 600 looks nice, but I'm looking for a Full Tower case which is why I was asking about the Enthoo Pro.

Why would your cat claw the case?

It's an older case (one that I considered many years ago), with many hands-on video reviews on hardware sites and YouTube. They should be able to give you all the info you need concerning if it's a good case or not for your requirements/needs.

It’s nearly the same size, within 1.5 inches

His Majesty (my cat) likes to claw at anything fiber or soft plastic. I know he’s go after the filter.
