The Shogun
Right, let's first have a peek at the press release to see what the Enso is all about:
The ENSO presents BitFenix's simple beauty PC concept with the latest AURA SYNC 3 pin addressable RGB LED technology and tempered glass without compromise to thermal and silent performance. The core of the ENSO is its clean design, well balanced with a perfectly organized interior structure and the sleek exterior design. It is complemented by a tempered glass side panel and the latest in RGB illumination effects, highlighting the clean and discreet lines of the metallic front panel.
The BitFenix ENSO premieres BitFenix’ new RGB illumination. The addressable RGB lighting allows multiple LED colors in one zone instead of one static color at a time. It is powered by a built in controller (compatible to both, BitFenix Alchemy 2.0, static, and BitFenix 3.0, addressable, RGB products) offering single colors to match different system builds, but also featuring different rainbow modes.
AURA SYNC 3 Pin Addressable RGB Technology
The RGB illumination of the ENSO supports the latest ASUS AURA Sync 3 pin addressable RGB motherboards, currently found in high-end segment. It enables users to coordinate multiple color lighting on different devices, including the all new Alchemy 3.0 addressable RGB strip, all controlled and synchronized by the ASUS AURA software bundled with Asus AURA SYNC 3 pin motherboards
See-through-tinted 4mm Tempered Glass Side Panel
The ENSO comes with a high-quality tempered glass side panel with a strength of 4mm. The tempered glass panel is see-through-tinted, allowing a peak into the case showing off the now often RGB illuminated main components.
Clean Interior With 23mm Cable Management Space Behind Motherboard Tray
The ENSO comes with a PSU shroud hiding the PSU and up to two HDDs beneath it, while three SSDs can be attached to the back of the motherboard tray, showing only the motherboard, graphics cards and the cooling solution through the tempered glass panel. The 23mm cable management space behind motherboard tray makes it an easy job to manage the cables clean. With the drive-trays out of the way, the ENSO provides plenty of space for graphics cards with a length up to 340mm.
Thermal Capacity
To cool down the components, hidden air- vents are placed around the metal cover on the front panel to enhance smooth intake. ENSO supports up to two 140mm fans or a 280mm radiator in the front while a 120mm rear-fan or radiator at the rear and up to two 120mm fans in the top will push the hot air out. ENSO also supports up to 160mm high CPU air cooler.
Silence Engineering
Enso doesn’t compromise the comfort of silence level. The clean interior design creates no interference to the air flow blowing straight on GPU that helps not only to cool down the GPU also reduces the noise level of the air flow. The close and clean PSU shroud keeps the HDD silent beneath it. And the soft foams complemented with tempered glass lock the noise inside. Bundled with both mesh and solid top cover offers the flexibility to either air flow or silence preferred options
