The new Phanteks Enthoo Mini XL DS case beolongs to a rather small market, yet we're convinced quite a few people have been waiting for such a case. This particular case allows the installation of two complete systems based on a mATX and mini-ITX motherboards. Despite the exterior look is rather classic and similar to other cases of the Enthoo line, the internal has been completely transformed in order to offer enough space for two complete systems. The Enthoo Mini XL DS is a pretty large case, but despite the spacious interior overall this case is not bigger than a standard big tower. The front is clean and quite simple and there are no large openings while the upper area comes with mesh that allows for cooling systems such as fans and radiators to breathe. Given the fact that two systems can be fit into this case you're probably wondering where the I/O connectors are and also how many there can be found. One I/O panel is located on the 5.25" slot area, while the other has bee integrated into the top of the case. The control buttons and USB 3.0 ports (2 + 2) are well placed ensuring fast access and avoid unintentioned system shutdowns. The back shows a preview of the internal structure of the case. To keep everything simple, the mATX motherboard is placed in the center area while the mini-ITX motherboard is placed above it. In addition there are two slots for the power supplies, where one features SFX and the other ATX size. |
