Details of the Phoenix
Taking a closer look at the Phoenix, a blind man will be able to recognize the attention to detail. First we're taking a look at the front bezel. Constructed from aluminum, it is actually a three piece design. One piece is the bezel itself; additional pieces are the hair brushed, diamond cut aluminum blades. Oddly enough the entire bezel is not aluminum -- it's actually firmly secured to a plastic bezel underneath. You would never know it though.
Enermax has designed a fan duct in the front of the chassis. The edges of the bezel have been diamond cut and show a silver ring around the front of the chassis. One of the other features I noticed was the integrated stealth optical drive covers, very different from some chassis I've had that did not have an adjustable piece to hit the button on the drive. This is another small detail that is easily overlooked.
Of course I have to mention the fan. If you don't know what fan I'm talking about you must be blind. It's huge. Enermax installed a massive 250mm fan on the side panel. The fan has a custom grill and control switch which can make the fan ventilate, exhaust, or turn it off. It also has a very long power connector to get to hidden Molex connectors. The attention to detail just continues throughout the chassis.
