Is indeed a very tall and heavy case. I think the luxe is going to be a very interesting model. Less use of plastic parts than the pro and smaller/lighter than the primo.
 
Enthoo Primo it is a great case, but it is big. It is 650mm tall. As it gets quite heavy when built, many of us use castor bases to ease movement. The lowest I've made uses 30mm castors and raises Primo 40mm, and my system stands 693mm tall. I wouldn't want to try rolling it into a space without at least 695-700mm.

Enthoo Pro is 535mm tall .. 115mm shorter. Even with a 30mm casters it would only be 575mm tall .. still 75mm shorter than Enthoo Primo without casters.
shorter than Primo.

Enthoo Luxe is 560mm tall .. 25mm taller than Enthoo Pro because the top of case is different, as is front. It also comes with a 2nd 140mm fan; has filters on top, front and bottom; and lighting in 6 selectable colours.

Enthoo Primo and Enthoo Pro are available now. Enthoo Luxe has no release date but is available in China now from Taodao. This leads me to believe it will be available other places in the next month or so. Sure hope so.

Hopefully the Luxe won't be much longer then. It's just that I've seen the primo on offer and is very tempting. #decisions

If you can get the primo a bit cheaper mate, and it fits on or below your desk. I'd go for it. Loads of space and well built. I can see me keeping this case for quite a long time. Excellent for watercooling should you go that route in the future.

I wouldn't have an issue fitting under my desk as it would sit along side my desk. It is tempting but I think I should hold out for the Luxe. Water cooling is something I'm looking into for my next build. :)
 
I was going to get the Luxe but it was/has been delayed so long. I actually think it's a bit nicer looking than the primo and i like the light module on it. Easier to manhandle about too likely.:)
 
If the Primo is too big for your needs and you don't like the looks what about the Pro? The Enthoo Pro is same basic size and design as Enthoo Luxe.

I think for the little extra your paying, you've made the best choice,

For £137.99 I think he has made an excellent choice! :D

I paid £188 for mine and its worth every penny. By far the most awesome case I have had the pleasure of building in.
 
Hi there guys,

After reading around and looking at video's etc I have to say I am quite interested in the Phanteks Enthoo Primo. Looks a very good case for the money. I always had the intention of getting a 900D but I prefer the Primo now.

Currently I have a 800D with a i920 and a pair of 7970's watercooled with a 360 rad.

I've always said that when I upgrade it will be to something worth upgrading to (X99) and better cooling with 480 rads being popular now. If I was to get the Primo I would like to have dual 480 rads in there but also I have 3 HD's that I would like to use (along with my SSD) so as I can tell I could use the top HD module and lose the bottom one to make way for the 480 rad on the bottom. I've seen mentioned on here that there is a size limit in terms of width for the bottom 480 so I was wondering what 480 is suitable without modification? (I presume the 480 in the top has no issues)

I'd appreciate some help!

Cheers

:)

You'll have no probs fitting your drives in the top HDD cage.

But you are limited to a 125mm wide rad in the bottom
