Will take another couple weeks for containers to reach us here. Shipments left China within a few days of each other. 14-18 days from China to California. 28-36 days from China to UK/Western Europe.
 
How is the main compartment cramped? Not saying it might not be depending on components but seems big enough... guess I'll find out. :D
 
It's just the way it looks in pictures to me.
It's probably just the way that the front drive bay section is blocked off, which makes the visible section smaller looking and the way they've crammed it with triple gpu's etc...

I'm not saying it has no space in there. It's a large case and can fit a lot of raddage, so...

Oh, and also bear in mind that I have a huge window mod on my case, so it's more the perception of space (or lack of it) rather than the actual amount available if that makes sense :)
 
Is here a riddle in there somewhere. :D

GPU clearance is pretty impressive
257mm (reservoir bracket installed)
277mm (reservoir bracket installed w/o cover)
350mm (no reservoir bracket)
390mm (HDD cages in front position)

CPU clearance
207mm

30mm behind motherboard for cable management.

And the HDD cover panel can be removed too. ;)
 
pfft, but there's always the option for Doyll to. I would be interested to see his first WC build when he does do one :)
Petey about the inside of the case looking small in comparison to the whole case, aye I would agree, then I realised I could put my old case with it's box inside the the Enthoo.. Once you remove all those extra mounts and plates there's a large open, uncluttered space to work with dude..nudge nudge..
2 monstas can be fitted inside... 2!!!!!!

I know mate, it was just an optical illusion due to the drive bay cover which I've always disliked in every other case.
The case isn't far off the size of a 900D, so there has to be plenty of room in there, plus I've since seen some excellent pics that show it off a lot better.

You gonna be grabbing another 480 beast then?
Me? I wouldn't mind having a play with the enthoo, but if I had the cash I'd still do the custom parvum thing along with a few upgrades.

I'd love to see doyll do a WC build too :)

lol, what you going to do with all the spare casters, put all the furniture on it?

I always seem to have at least one set of casters waiting to be used. Having hardwood floors means most things are on casters. Makes it much easier to clean under and re-arrange things.. and you know how SWMBO can be about re-arranging things. :D

I've made a base of 32mm x 9mm strips that measures the same as bottom of case. Looks kinda like a picture frame with 15.5mm x 52mm open center for bottom vent airflow. I plan to put 6x 40mm casters on it. Should end up raising case about 57mm with a 48mm space between base and floor. Base and castors are black so will match case.
