I just ordered an older Phanteks case (the windowless version of the OG Enthoo Pro.

Based on reviews an dpictures it looked high quality, sturdy and like it would be a good case for my office testbench machine, replacing my old NZXT Source 210 case I bought over a decade ago which has been a real trooper and an amazing bang for the buck at only $39.99 in early 2011
I find it promising that this, their newer model reviews well. Hopefully that will preduct that I will have a good experience with the older Enthoo Pro.

One thing I really like that Phanteks did with both the case under review and my Enthoo Pro I just received is how they ship the screws in a nice "tackle box".

One very nice touch about the Enthoo Pro is that it came with a "reservoir bracket" presumably intended to make mounting a water cooling reservoir easier.

Mine build in this case is essentially a pedestal server /workstation testbench, so bi water cooling, but this is something I really would have liked in my previous Corsair cases I have built water loops in.

Did the p600s have a bracket like this?

Did the p600s have a bracket like this?

Had to double-check the manual, as that was a few reviews ago: P600s Manual

From what I can tell, they didn't include a pump bracket - they do sell one on their retail site for US$6.99, which isn't terrible. May just be how rare folks use these brackets, many tend to go for integrated pump/reservoir setups that mount to a 120mm fan mount or directly to a fan, or go with some form of distribution plate.

Just moved my main system into this case without the side window panel, just the steel panel. Very nice case with great air flow. I switched the back fan to the front to give it three 140mm fans on intake, and then put two Noctua NF-P14's as exhaust (one at the top and one at the back).
