Bitfenix Reveals Enso Case and Alchemy 3.0 Addressable RGB Magnetic LED Strips
BitFenix presented Aurora, Shogun and Alchemy 2.0 RGB Magnetic LED Strips co-developing AURA SYNC technology with Asus bringing in the comprehensive neat RGB LED concept for PC build. Today BitFenix present the BitFenix ENSO and the Alchemy 3.0 Addressable RGB Magnetic LED
Strips, again co-developing with Asus, supporting the latest ASUS AURA SYNC 3-pin technology for addressable RGB illumination.
Sleek Design With Metallic Front & Enhanced AURA SYNC 3 Pin Addressable RGB illumination
With the ENSO, BitFenix is launching the long awaited case shown at Taipei's Computex 2017, available in black and white. The clean design concept is well balanced between a perfectly organized interior structure and a sleek exterior design. It is complemented by a 4mm see-through-tinted tempered glass panel on the side and addressable RGB illumination surrounding the metallic front. It comes with a pre-installed controller, compatible to both, BitFenix Alchemy 2.0, static, and BitFenix 3.0, addressable, RGB products.Users can choose to control addressable RGB LED illumination on Enso and Alchemy 3.0 addressable RGB LED strips by Asus motherboards equipped with AURA SYNC 3 pin technology or just use the pre-installed controller on Enso case to control the RGB effect on metallic front and Alchemy 3.0 addressable RGB LED strips if non AURA SYNC 3 pin motherboards are used.
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.
Thermal Capability
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.
Easy Clean With Side-way Removable Dust Filter
To keep the interior of the ENSO dust-free, multiple filters are placed around the case. The top filter is attached via magnets and can be easily slid off to clean it.
The ENSO also features BitFenix' new sideway-removable filters in the front and the bottom, thus enabling users to remove the front and PSU filter easily without lifting or moving the case.
Light up your components
The Alchemy 3.0 Addressable RGB Strips are upgraded from the Alchemy 2.0 Magnetic RGB LED Strips, thus featuring the TriBright LED Technology for increase brightness and color saturation. The LED strips can be easily attached to cases via the implemented magnets, but also feature a 3M adhesive strip to attach the strip to any surface. Just like the ENSO's RGB illumination, each LED can display a different color simultaneously, thus allowing preprogrammed rainbow modes. It can be powered through the optional controller or attached to one of ASUS' 3-pin ASUS AURA SYNC motherboards.

Otherwise yeah it's a fairly nice case.

ENSO also supports up to 160mm high CPU air cooler." Did you mean abomination? It doesn't look bad to me until you need to plug things into it, that's similar to my front panel on my BeQuiet Dark Base Pro.
I didn't ask where's the airflow for nothing. Case industry in 2017 became a nightmare for hardware.
This is how horrible it gets. This is a huge deal even for new hardware. It really is this bad, this case cooks hardware and re-circulate hot air back inside
One way to make the case 'work' is with a blower cooled video card with the rear fan as intake and top fans as exhaust. Probably wouldn't be bad at all with that although most machines would probably be alright. I don't run any hard drives in my machines to keep heat down too...so there's those ideas.
