Apart from price, what are the differences between the 2 cases?
Phanteks 719 vs Enthoo Pro2

Looks like only the panels changed - but based on same interior I think
Included accessories or front panel connectors are probably different (itx and vertical GPU mount maybe?) - and the 719 might have included a fancier fan controller maybe

yeah not much comparison out there, i tried to look in youtube and reviews. Seems more depth in 719 as well.

The Pro 2 has only just been released (yesterday I think) - people should start getting them soon I would think.

The main 4 differences I notice.
719 - solid front panel
Pro 2 - mesh front panel
719 - window on back panel to show SSDs
Pro 2 - no SSD window
719 - exterior and interior rgb case lighting
Pro 2 - interior rgb lighting only
719 - separate mic and headphone 3.5mm inputs
Pro 2- mic and headphone combined into one 3.5mm input, would need to use an audio splitter if using both connected to the front panel.

I'm wondering the same question.
I really want to but the Enthoo Pro 2 but it's out of stock everywhere. I just upgraded almost my entire system and I'm switching from air cooling to water-cooling. My current case doesn't fit the 2 AIOs I have.
The 719 looks so close to the Enthoo Pro 2 but the biggest difference looks like airflow. Which also happens to be the most important aspect.
Has anyone bought either case and could comment on their experience?
Thanks

I have the 719, and it's home to 2 480 radiators, I would have prefered to go with the pro 2 but at the time I didn't even know about the case.
My rads take to front and side position, and since I have a vertically mounted gpu I just run 3 fans top and at the bottom to deal with airflow for the gpu until a waterblock is released. the solid front on the 719 doesn't seem to restrict my temps to any meaningful amount, but I would have preferred the mesh front of the pro 2.
That said, the 719 is a sturdy case, and there's plenty of room for me to mix and match things up in the case
One thing I will point out, the 719 comes with a fan hub mounted on the panel side of the case just behind the motherboard and the pro 2 doesn't.

I found some YouTube vids comparing the 2 or at least mentioning the differences of the two cases before. as Hakanese mentioned, there is not much to it, I do seems to remember someone saying that Pro 2 seems to be less sturdier than 719 though.
@Hakanese interested in finding our which 480 RADs you used and how much clearance you had between the two? Got any pics for your setup?

I'm crap with linking pics, but I am running at present 2 ultra slim rads as the corner where they meet is too yight for anything else, if I was to use a thicker rad at the front, I would havce to mount the side rad behind the wall, and cut away part of the case to allow the fittings through.
Here's a link to a build log someone did https://builds.gg/builds/enthoo-luxe-2-enthoo-719-20645, hope it helps, I myself am probably going to remove the 2 slim rads, and figure out how to put in my 480mm Monsta in, or just mount it externally, because I'm bored

Thank you for the link and info. Beardom makes the best of projects
I was thinking of a 719 with a 480 Monsta in the front and a 240 Monsta bottom. Its a shame 719 doesnt have much top rad space. I think only a 30mm Rad would fit and when fans are connected that will cover the top part of the mobo.
