Features

Dual system

The Enthoo Mini XL DS be equipped with two systems, while there is space for one mATX and mini-ITX motherboard. There is also space for two power supplies (ATX and SFX) and there is even space for two fully grown graphics cards. In fact this enclosure offers more than enough space to mount two systems. The possibility to drive two systems in one tower allows for a lot of flexibility. Therefore it's possible to run a file server and a gaming system in one case. Apart from that also for streamers such a case is a great choice.
 

 

Dust filters

There are washable dust filters covering all big openings of the Phanteks Enthoo Mini XL DS. Thanks to a quick release system they are very easy and convenient to remove.
 
 

Well-thought cable managment

On the Enthoo Mini XL DS, Phanteks used rubber grommets through which cables can be routed from one side to the other. The grommets fit very tight and they don't come off easily, like it's the case with so many other enclosures. Also in the delivery there are velcro straps featuring Phanteks imprint.
 
 

Multi-color LED light strip

Straight out of the box Phanteks illuminates a small bar, which has been integrated into the top part of the case. If you'd like to add more light and color, Phanteks recommends adding their LED strips, which go by the name LED PH-CB_RGB4P. These strips are very easy to install thanks to magnets. Apart from that those strips are compatible with the new onboard RGB headers you can find on the latest motherboards, which will allow you to control them easily. Apart from that there are also the so called PH-LEDKT LED strips optionally available, which can be connected to and controlled by the integrated fan controller.
 
 

Watercooling ready

The Phanteks Enthoo Mini XL DS is also ready for watercooling gear. If you wish to install a custom loop, there is the possibility to equip this case with up to three radiators. Two of them can measure 360mm or 280mm in lenght and the third one could be a 280mm model. The fact that two 360mm radiators can be installed gives a lot of opportunities towards custom watercooled builds.
