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

I agree. 6 has a nice balanced look.
I did an 18x one. Looks like a centipede on roller skates.

 

[Hakanese]

o.O Only you dude.. but you have to post that up

 

[doyll]

You asked for it. I call in Mega Mover.

 

[Hakanese]

It's beautiful.. looks like something you move the space shuttle with

 

[doyll]

Ah.. so it goes from 10 casters "looks like a tank" to 18 casters "looks beautiful". LMAO

This base design will lift case about 60mm for a total height of 710mm Using 30mm casters is more expensive but can get the lift down to 46-55mm.

From pictures I've seen case bottom has 7 pads/feet. 4 on left and 3 on right. Left 4 are not evenly spaced.

 

[Hakanese]

MegaMover would get a replica model rocket attatched to the side. that's a lot of clearance off the ground dude, you planning on Offroading with it, or do you have an airflow design you're planning on executing with the bottom vents?

 

[doyll]

That's the caster & mount height on a 13mm thick base.

 

[Hakanese]

That's enough to get a set of fans on the outside of the case and underneath it.

 

[doyll]

No way to mount them with filters on bottom of case. The two slide out filters cover almost the entire bottom.

 

[Hakanese]

like you'd let a set of filters stop you

 

[doyll]

I wouldn't think of running a daily user without filters. And besides, there is plenty of room inside for push/pull on a thick radiator.

 

[Hakanese]

aye, I just wonder how your air setup will look. You're going to have so much more space to go crazy

Think more along these lines:

 

[doyll]

Case will definitely not be crowded. :;

Build will have:
* GA-X58A-UD5
* i7 980
* PH-TC14PE black
* Crucial Ballistix 3x4GB RAM
* Xonar D2X audio card
* ENGTX580 DirectCU II graphics card
* 400GB system drive
* 2x 1.5TB, 2x 2TB & 1x 3TB storage drives

Need:
* good SSD cheap

Been looking at SMD 5050 RGB 300 LED w/ 44 key remote for case lighting.


Hay Petey.. Got any good H2O laying around that would fill up my Primo?
I don't have any pink paint.

 

[Uncle Petey]

Dunno, what's H2P? Google can't help me...

Did I just fall in a trap?

 

[doyll]

Fat fingers! H2O

Like a 480 Monsta radiator, 360 for the top, pump, reservoir, fittings, tubing.

Could trade you a really nice Casta base for the above.

 

[Uncle Petey]

Erm, got a couple of metres of unused, black 7/16 xspc tubing if you want it?

 

[doyll]

I need all or nothing.

I could be tempted to H2O but to do the case justice would be at least twice what the case costs.. I have the best CPU air cooling on earth and the graphics card is great as it is stock.. as soon as I figure out how to slow the fans below 1170rpm Like to 700-800rpm at idle. I made a cardboard shroud with 2x TY-100 fans in it at 720rpm and GPU stayed at 30c with occassional spikes to 38c when loading something.. so know the fans will do the job at 700rpm.

Case has 5x 140mm fans stock, 2x are led in front.. and all are speed controlled by PWM to Phanteks' new fan hub.

This is such a simple build. The only things I can do are cables and mods.

 

[Uncle Petey]

Grab an Aquaero fan controller for fully automated goodness perhaps?
Don't suppose you'd fancy a bay mounted jobbie?

 

[doyll]

Enthoo Primo has a PWM controlled 3pin fan hub included. Can control up to 11 fans.

Aquaero would give more control.

Hopefully we will get a shipment soon.
Peps on the other side of pond will have their cases next week.
Phanteks USA received a container yesterday afternoon in California and posted their pre-orders.
