Performance Analysis

Talking about air-cooling performance in a case such as this is kind of pointless since you'd be nuts to buy it and install anything less than a multi-radiator water-cooling system. This is especially so given that there are no fans included as standard, so we're essentially testing an open test-bench in terms airflow and cooling. The CPU delta T of 55°C was precisely in the middle of the graph and adding fans is only going to improve things.

Overall, the Enyo performed similarly to the Cooler Master Cosmos C700M on its minimum speed setting and the GPU delta T of 50°C was slightly above average; the lack of an enclosed space certainly helping things here, but of course at the expense of noise and dust.

Conclusion

Kitted out with RGB lighting and extensive water-cooling, the Enyo will no doubt turn heads, but we have concerns over several aspects of the design and even the manual, which certainly lacked polish and clarity. It's clear that the case will be water-cooled, but following the manual from start to finish will see you having to dismantle some sections to fit cooling hardware. You'll also need to vacuum your components regularly to deal with dust, but that's the same for all show cases - the key reason they're not ideal as an everyday home for your PC. If you're aware of its shortcomings and need a show case that can house a monstrous amount of hardware, both it and the likes of the Thermaltake Core P90 Tempered Glass Edition are clearly shortlist contenders while the Raijintek case is certainly a little less garish than Thermaltake's giant. However, that's also £100 less expensive. For the rest of us, though, there are certainly more than enough issues not to recommend it as an everyday case.
