The BitFenix Enso is the classic wolf in sheep's clothing. It may look like an ordinary 70-80 USD chassis out there when turned off, but as soon as the addressable RGB lights turn on, it becomes apparent how much more the Enso offers while keeping the price enticingly low.

How could you even give it editors choice with 9.5 rating on this case?
Zero intake. Gamer Nexus has already proven this a garbage case.
 
Thanks for the hard work but i really differ from this case having a nice rating.

Still no standarized temperature (same mobo, ram, cpu, gpu, psu, hdd/ssd for all cases) test here. One of my biggest reason to choose a case is the airflow and temperature, I take mesh front panel over aesthetics any day.
 
This should not be called a review. It's nothing more than a glorified unboxing. Just like the majority of the so called reviews online.
Nowhere in the "review" has it been mentioned that the CPU reaches 90C under heavy load. And that the GPU throttles from 2000MHz to around 1750-1800.
If anyone wants a a proper case review go to Gamers Nexus.
Oh, and those 2 awards are a joke.
 
Yeah...definitely not a review or a paid for by Bitfenix, biased one. You can just look at the case and know it's not good. If you mod the F out of it sure it'll work but that's a lot more work and adds to the price tag.
 
Also appears to be some extra words in the conclusion before the awards. ;)

Also wondering how the first post was created in mid march yet was edited in february...
 
I'm in agreement with everyone else here - TPU, you do good content in other areas, but your case reviews are hot garbage. You never test thermals, and you never test noise. Most of the time your reviews don't even look at the design in relation to these areas to make a guess about how the case could perform.

Still, if I ever want to start a PC case manufacturing company, I know where to send review samples first - I'm guaranteed an award if TPU gets hold of my product - 411 case reviews in the database, and of those, 201 have scores above 9, and 364 have scores above 8! The worst reviewed case in TPU history was the Silverstone Temjin TJ08, in 2006, and even that got a 6.2!

Solidy more than half marks for a case the conclusion described as "Overall, the case is definitely not worth the price.".

If I were to grade TPU's case coverage at this point, I think I know what my comment would be - "Must try harder"
