** PHANTEKS ENTHOO PRIMO - THE ULTIMATE WATERCOOLING CHASSIS **

I'm still using air cooling so can only give you second had opinions.
Answer is yes. Enthoo Primo is a great H2O case. Haven't heard anyone complaining about the Primo not being a great H2O case for the money.
Have you read all of this thread?
Have you read any other Enthoo Primo threads?
 
Getting one for £150 was a once in a lifetime deal.
There is a a guy is Boston Mass saying he's changing his for a CaseLabs ST10 with a starting price of $439.95.. way more money.
 
I have to admit this is my first water cooled build, but I have to admit the case is a joy to work in. It's huge. And comes with a bunch of fans, an led hub and a fan hub as well as having a variety of locations to put your hdds and ssd's. The only thing that stops this case being a straight tenbout of ten is the front side panel wiyh the logo should be removable without cutting and the front grill is aabit obstructive to the airflow. But I can't think of a case that givesbyou so much for that price.
 
Can't expect everything to be exactly what you/me want. We all have different likes and dislikes. I'm looking forward to the next edition. Will be interesting to see what they do to improve on near perfection. ;)
 
Ouch!

In other news I'm now up and running!

Well after a big scare. Wouldn't switch on, motherboard didn't even get power. When it did switch on it lost my overclock.
Some instability from initialisation of the pwm hub? I have 10 fans connected, so maybe it overloaded the fan header before taking secondary power from the molex?

I've also noticed that from the way my computer boots up, the fans/pump switch on, off, then back on again in a short period of time... Don't know if it is normal behaviour before I started using the hub.

quick question can you get a 480 and a 360 rad in here without moding ? I have been looking at the pictures but I can't work out if you can get a 360 in the bottom without having to hack anything out.

I am assuming the 480 sits in the roof, but are you limited to how thick a rad will go in there, e.g wouldn't expect to fit a monsta in there, but also wouldn't want to have to get one of those high FPI think BI stealth rads either.
 
I've got a 480 Monsta in my roof, with the fans underneath it rather than above the rad and under the grill. It does obstruct the mobo power and LED display though, and restricts the thickness of fan you can have at the top rear.
I'm running an Maximus VI Formula with Team Group ram btw

Click to expand...

Spec for the case says you can fit a 480 up to 125mm wide in the bottom without modding. So you can, but be careful which you pick, since it'll be tight.
 
Very nice! I'm tempted to steal that idea (though I'd use a plain carbon weave rather than gold for my build).

Currently got my case sitting open in my room, terrifying my poor CM690. Have fitted my new PSU, but waiting for new tubing and a couple of fittings to arrive before I rip the CM690 build apart and swap everything over.

Can't afford new rads/pump/res yet though, so it's going to look really empty in there for a while! Will take some pics as I tear down and assemble, likely over the weekend.
 
I'm only testing ideas also, getting mixed responses. I maybe should have tried black also, I had gold only also but its very bling !

Here's how its looking atm...
