Bitfenix Enso Mesh ATX Chassis review - Product Showcase (3)

Looking in from the side again, we can see the full suite of 7 PCIe slots, allowing for as many GPUs and expansion cards as you have space for, or your platform will support. Feasibly, 2x GPUs of dual-slot design and a further 2 single slot expansion cards are perfectly within the capabilities of this chassis. This is by no means an exclusive feature (it's an ATX standard, after all), but knowing you have the potential to upgrade your expansion options in the future is comforting for the individual who can't stop adding bits and pieces to his or her PC. As previously mentioned, without a front mounted radiator, graphics cards of up to 340mm can be used. Note, you'll need to reduce this by about 40mm if you are using a radiator in the front, naturally.

The glass has a relatively heavy tint. Those of you who have read my review of the Fractal Design Meshify Mini C (linked here will know that I tend to prefer TG with a darker tint. I feel as though it adds to the 'mystery' of whatever is inside your PC, though of course, it can be overdone. You can also get a good idea here of how a front mounted radiator would fit. In a word, well. The case is short enough that even shorter hosed units should be able to fix it without a hitch. If your unit has longer hoses, there is enough room 'up top' for them to bend upward and out of the way. I, sadly, do not have an AIO on hand to install in this case, so will be using Noctua's venerable but solid NH-U12S 120mm cooler instead.

Going around to the front, and we see that mesh in all its perforated glory. Bitfenix claims over 10k holes in the panel, and... you know what? I'll believe them. You can also see the outline of the two light bars that adorn the edges of the front panel. Those who read my reviews know of my love/hate relationship with anything RGB. If it's done well, I tend to like it, even if I do usually just use a single or double color breathing mode. If done badly, though, I run a mile. I guess we'll see how she looks later?

The case IO is on top of the chassis, and that is (if possible) the only place for it, in my eye. As per the norm, it's a fairly standard IO, sure, but it lacks nothing and for this price point I cannot really mark anything against Bitfenix at all. It's functional and features what you need it to. To recap, it's 2x USB 3.0, a headphone jack, a microphone jack, HDD activity light, power button, and a reset switch. If I were to really point fingers, a USB-C connector would have been great to see, as it is becoming more and more standard as well advance through toward 2020.
