Phanteks Enthoo Pro M Tempered Glass Chassis Review

Complete System
Building a system inside the Pro M is a setup easy task, certainly forgiving for first-time system builders, but still offering extensive customisation options for the enthusiast system builders out there. Cable management is as good as it gets and is given a little extra touch of professionalism thanks to the cable grommet on the PSU cover, allowing the GPU cables to travel upwards cleanly to the GPU.
We moved the 2.5″ tray from behind the motherboard, putting it up front where all can see it; looks pretty cool!
The cutaway on the side of the PSU cover allows us to see the PSU design, although how good that looks will obviously depend on the PSU you’re using.
The chassis is nice and wide, so those wanting larger enthusiast CPU air coolers won’t be left wanting for space, and there’s easily enough room left over for a thick radiator in the rear, or slimmer radiators in the top of the chassis for water cooling enthusiasts.
Of course, not forgetting the comprehensive radiator support in the front, and there’s more than enough room for thicker radiators even with a large GPU installed. Just remember that the maximum radiator sizes may require you to remove the 5.25″ drive bay and the small panel on the PSU cover.
With the side panel back in place, that extremely tidy cable routing pays off big time, as the chassis has nothing to hide through the clear window. If you really want to show off your hardware, there’s no better way that a glass panel like this and without a doubt it looks rather impressive.
While we didn’t have any built-in to this chassis, you can see there’s a lot of potential here to show off your hardware, just throw in some custom loop cooling and a bit of LED lighting, and you’ve got quite the display case here.
Overall, a well made, durable, and very neat and tidy looking chassis that’s sure to compliment any kind of system build.
