Phanteks Enthoo Luxe, Pro, and Primo variations - CES 2014

This video from Linus Tech Tips covers Phanteks booth offerings at CES 2014, focusing on the Enthoo Luxe, Enthoo Pro, and Enthoo Primo variations. The presenter walks through the Luxe model's front panel, noting two USB 3.0 ports, two USB 2.0 ports, microphone and headphone jacks, and a reset button with a color-changing LED control. He highlights the case’s overall black aesthetic, the LED light bars that wash light onto the chassis rather than shining directly into eyes, and the top area capable of housing up to a 420 millimeter radiator with a removable, sturdy fan filter. The video then details internal modular features like a front-mounted reservoir on a dedicated bracket, multiple pump mounting options with rubber dampening, and a motherboard tray area designed for easy wiring and pump placement. He demonstrates the flexibility of the enclosure with options for mounting radiators, hard drive cages, and SSDs, either behind the motherboard tray or in fair-access locations, and explains how a basement power-supply adapter plate can be adapted or removed if needed. The discussion shifts to the Enthoo Primo line, describing its availability in white, and special editions in orange and red with a sandblasted aluminum aesthetic that reduces fingerprint marks. Finally, the Luxe, Pro, and Primo differences are summarized: the Luxe includes lighting features and a rear PWM splitter that supports up to 11 fans, the Pro trims down some features for a lower initial investment, and the Primo variants offer cost-down options with several features addable later. The host closes by noting the ongoing CES coverage and sponsor mentions, implying more reviews to come for the Primo and other Phanteks offerings at the event.
