Phanteks Enthoo Primo

Got this on a whim from the clearance section. My old case was just too small to fit the AIO's in properly. I got them in but it was a massive bodge.

Well. I know it's a "B" grade item but wasn't impressed to see this when putting it together.

Front panel - all clips broken off. Was held on by sellotape!

Top fan cover - Dunno how to describe this? Sat on? Kicked?

Got there in the end though. Amazing what you can do with a little patience and some superglue

I would say it's not normally this messy. But I'd be lying

The front panel clips are a very well known issue on this case. Phanteks will send out spares if you need them. Some users have modified the front panel to use small magnets to hold it in place.

It's all good now. Now that the PC is built I won't be taking them off again for quite some time.

You buy them off the bay if you cant wait,i think the card coolers would look better on the bottom side buy side i have the same case and I may be putting mine on one or the rear bottom fan hole.

Any other issues, if you drop rma'at'phanteks'dot'com an email they will issue spares usually.

my top panel lugs broke off when I removed it... they sent another one out.. good support.. I'm not overly convinced on the quality of the case, your getting quantity here

No. It's all fine after a touch of superglue. Thanks

I wonder if you had the top card radiator placed where the bottom one is currently sitting, then took the bottom card radiator and fitted that to the empty fan spot at the bottom rear (removing one or both of those fans in the floor) then moving the H100/110 across a bit to see more of that.

That was how I'd planned to do it. I can't remember now why I changed it. I don't think I could get the radiator from the bottom Titan to fit down there?

You've got me questioning myself now though :confused:

Might have another look at it tonight after work.
