Enermax SpineRex Full Tower Case Review

We have mixed feelings about the Enermax SpineRex as it has both positive and negative aspects.  We love the simple design and jazzy looking Apollish Vegas which are integrated into the front of the case.  We also like the flexible drive bay configurations that are available, even if it is a little difficult to remove the hard drive caddies.

The provision for cable routing is pretty poor to be honest.  Even though there are a series of holes cut into the motherboard for routing cables, there really isn’t enough room for thick cables behind the tray.  Other cases at this price point offer much better cable routing support like the Corsair Graphite 600T.

We also question Enermax’s decision not to include any roof or rear exhaust fans in the case.  With a case at this price we would really expect at least one of these locations to be populated with some kind of fan.

At a price of £120 at Scan, we don’t feel that the SpineRex offers very good value for money as other cases like the Corsair Graphite 600T and Obsidian 650D offer much more for a similar amount of money.  Corsair make much better provision for cable routing than Enermax and their cases just seem much better designed generally.
