Both my cases have no cooling issues ....but to each his own.

It didn't meet my needs in replacing the HAF X and that's my point

And BTW the HAF X, as well as the Cooler Master H5005 are far better suited for air cooling than the Enthoo Luxe. The one major flaw is the limited air flow from the front fan due to the front panel blocking said fan. A flaw Steve Burke (Gamer's Nexus) complains about in many a case design.

But yeah, it didn't meet my needs in replacing my HAF X so you're right... to each his own

My old Haf-X is still used by my friend, that is a legendary case. That being said I do not miss full towers.

I still have my HAF-X somewhere. It was a great case. Yes, the Luxe gets a lot of complaints about the air flow, but all Phanteks cases are not the same setup. The Enthoo Primo is a fantastic case and gets plenty of air flow as does the Pro and Pro-M. I have/have owned all of them except the Luxe, which I didn't buy because of the air flow issue.

Nothing fancy as it's still a Dell. But the RTX 2060 looks so good in there.

Nice little budget machine right there. That's actually a fairly well designed OEM.

The Enthoo Luxe is my first and only Phanteks case. I now have two Cooler Master cases - the HAF X which will house a third build I'm planning (an old i7-6700K build) and my H500M as seem in my system specs.

I'm not quite sure why I bought the Luxe other than I needed a case to replace my aging Antec P182 which housed my backup system. The original plan though was to move the HAF X to the backup and use the Luxe for the main system. Instead the Luxe houses the backup, and the H500M ultimately replaced the HAX F, which is currently unused.

In terms best case owned - the HAF X edges the 500M because it supports hot-swapping and optical drives; though the cable management and looks of the H500M is magical. The Luxe is also a good case with some nice features. To be honest, were I doing custom water cooling, I'd of never bought the H500M being I already had the Luxe

Most of the Phanteks cases were made with Custom Water Cooling in mind, but MOST will do Air or AIO too.

True, as are most cases today including the Cooler Master H500M. However, cases like the H500M are also built for air cooling as well. With cases like the H500M you get the best of both worlds in cooling options.



Air build...

I didn't think there was any love for non-rgb builds in here.
