Phanteks PH-ES515ETG_BK - PC casing

Absolutely love this case. The materials and build quality are both two reasons why this case looks and feels impeccable. It comes with pre-installed with ATX standoffs, making ATX motherboard mounting a breeze. The simple drop and lock cages for the SSD's are both convenient and an aesthetically pleasing solution. Plenty of well placed grooves and tie down points for cable management. The case also comes with a convenient box with all the screws sorted into individual compartments. Beyond the practical inside, it cannot be overstated how wonderful this case looks once you finish your build. The aluminum front and top gives the case a premium feel. So does the tempered glass side panels which highlight the components beautifully. I got 2x 1m Phanteks Multicolor rgb led strips which are simply perfect for this case. I never thought a computer case could look this great. Phanteks proved me wrong.

Wanted a new case ti reduce size from full tower, but wanted a case that would also suit RGB lighting. Case is really good.Only issues for me are;1) placement for a Hue+ due to limitations of cable length.2) very tight fit for larger boards which overlap across the grommets making cabling more difficult, especially the board ATX cable3) no bays for CD drives / blue raysHighlights were;1) shroud for power supply makes for cleaner build, though if you have a power suppy that lights up at all this will cover it2) Cabling in general is really easy with plenty of tie off areas and Velcro straps that help make a really tidy build, a must considering the back panel is tempered glass3) the system for the top radiator cooler is really useful meaning you can just stide it out of the case to replace fans or the radiator itself, larger radiators may cause issues with clearance over the motherboard, especially if you have high profile RAMComes with 3 140mm Fans of good quality (2 front 1 rear)4) Good air flow as front and top even though they are metal have vents to allow air to flowI choose this over Be Quiet, InWin and NZXT options available.

So pleased with the PC case. My first Phanteks case. looks gorgeous and great to build in.A word of warning though. Great cooling with a CPU air cooler, but if you are installing a custom loop or AIO cooler, then there are cooling issues in terms of the radiator being starved of air. So my advice is to go for the new and improved Evolv X if you are water cooling.

This is a very beautiful computer case, excellent for a standard PC build, but not appropriate for systems with high thermal dissipation and water cooling.The case features beautiful front and top panels, made of solid pieces of aluminum. Unfortunately, both panels leave very little space for the air to enter and come out of the case, accordingly, rendering the primary intake and exhaust sections very inefficient. The top cover in particular allows air to flow though very small holes on the sides, as well as from thin gaps in the front and in the back of the case. The front cover has better allowances for the air intake, but when the front fans increase their rotational speed, I can hear the noise caused by the air being sucked from both sides of the front panel before I can hear the (silent Noctua) fans.I am hoping Phanteks will further develop the basic concept of this case into a new, more efficient product, with more, hidden gaps for air intake and exhaust. Ideally, I would like to be able to fit a radiator in the upper section, as well as 4 GPUs, i.e. have access to an 8th PCIe slot, at the size of the Phanteks Luxe Tempered Glass.Having said that, I don't regret buying this case, which is why I have given it 4 stars. Even if I replace this case to fit a 4th GPU and water cooling (for high performance computing applications), I will keep this case and reuse it for another desktop build. It is a premium quality case, very much worth considering.

This case is amazing. If you are even thinking about getting it, just do it. You won't have any regrets. It looks fantastic and was an absolute breeze to build in. Has a lot of option for how you want to set it up with barely any limitations and tons of room for future upgrades or watercooling.

I've been having this case for 2 years the design is incredible the glass is durable and the lighting is also aesthetically pleasing.Phanteks did make a very good job on this one.The drawback of this nice design is that practicality takes a hit in case you want to switch storage drives or mess with the insides on a frequent base. I believe it's one of the nicest cases for it's money and certainly would recommend it.

What an amazing case, no complaints at all apart from maybe having to get the window cleaner out but definitely worth the trade off! Cable management in this case is excellent with plenty of anchoring points and included velcro ties. Case comes with 3 x 140mm fans (2 intake 1 exhaust) and a PWM->Voltage fan controller allowing you to control your 3 pin voltage regulated fans with a single PWM header from your motherboard, this allowed me to use custom fan curves for all of my case fans! Although a bit expensive I would definitely recommend as I will be using it for more than one build.

Stunning case, roomy and easy to build in.... However! Be ready for cable management otherwise this case has potential to look like a server box.
