Endorfy Arx 700 Air Mid-Tower Case Review

Interior
The tempered glass panel is easily removed via two thumbscrews at the back of the case, giving you excellent amounts of access to get your hardware installed. The interior looks pretty amazing too, with large cable grommets above, to the right and below the motherboard, plus a large cut-out behind the motherboard to allow for easy CPU cooler bracket installations.
There’s a built-in PSU shroud, which comes packed with features, such as more cable routing grommets, ventilation, and mounts for SSDs that should help you achieve your build.
Plus, there’s a huge cut-away in the shroud towards the front of the case, allowing you to use the full height of the case for larger radiators and fan configurations. However, as you can see, it’s got a mesh end on it, so it’s still semi-enclosed on the shroud.
There is a bank of elongated screw mounts on the backplate too, allowing you to use it to mount liquid cooling hardware, drives, and more.
In the front of the case, you’ll find three pre-installed 140mm fans, giving the case a huge amount of cooling potential right out of the box. One feature I love is that you can remove the mesh on the front panel, and the fan/radiator bracket is removable as a single unit. This means you can take out all the fans at once to clean them, but it also makes installing cooling hardware easier as it can be done away from the case, and then just screwed back in once you’ve assembled it.
However, there are two more 140mm fans with one in the top and one in the back, giving you a total of five as standard. There’s a small PWM fan hub with room for the five included fans, I would have liked to see this expanded to support eight fans, so that if you used all the available fan mounts, it would control everything, but if you’re using an AIO that controls its fans, five mounts will be plenty, and you could always use a Y-splitter which cost next to nothing anyway.
