Hey everyone,
I’m currently using a Phanteks Enthoo Pro II, which has been reliable in terms of space and airflow. Still, I want a more premium, showcase build with tempered glass and RGB aesthetics that lasts at least 5+ years.
Here’s the updated shortlist of cases I’m considering, with approximate Indian prices:
Phanteks Enthoo Pro II (current) — Reliable airflow and space, but lacks visual flair
• Phanteks Evolv X2 ₹30,000–32,000 Mid-tower with vertical airflow and tempered glass
• Hyte Y70 Touch Infinite ₹42,000–44,000 Dual-chamber mid-tower with 14.5" touchscreen; sleek design
• Cooler Master HAF 700 EVO ₹44,700–45,000 Full-tower airflow champion, spacious interior
• ASUS ROG Hyperion GR701 ₹40,500–46,500 Premium ROG styling, dual-chamber, ARGB hub
What I’m Looking For:
-
Tempered glass side panel for showcase gaming look
-
Strong airflow for high-end components and future GPU upgrades
-
Premium build quality for long-term use
-
Aesthetic flair (RGB, sleek design)
Questions for the Community:
1. For a long-term gaming showcase build, which case provides the best balance of aesthetics and airflow?
2. Is the Evolv X2 worth it for its price, or does a more expensive case like Hyperion or HAF 700 EVO justify the extra cost?
3. Does the HAF 700 EVO feel dated compared to newer designs?
4. Ultimately, should I stick with Enthoo Pro II, given its strong performance, or upgrade for aesthetics and premium feel?
Would love to hear your personal experiences with these cases—especially regarding thermals, ease of building, and overall value. Thanks in advance!
