“The Phanteks Enthoo
EVOLV
Is a little bit different to most other chassis
But it ticks all the right boxes for those planning a high-e

While sporting a beefy price tag, the Enthoo Evolv gives you a lot of case for the money, allowing pretty much any configuration possible in a M-ATX System achievable...
At this point the Evolv is looking fairly good on many points. All the features that make the entire Enthoo series desirable are present in this case. This is great news for fans of this series. Phanteks has indeed made a quality product by using screws ...
Dust filters on all intakes, Innovative design allows multiple build options, Space for four drives, water cooling, and large graphics cards, Easy to build in
Power supply mounting space tight for ATX supplies, Minimal documentation, Somewhat plain external appearance
Phanteks' nomenclature notwithstanding, this is a mini-ITX case; there is no such thing as an “ITX case”. That said, the Enthoo Evolv ITX is an impressive effort in the field. I've noticed as mini-ITX systems become more popular, cases are “evolving”, bec...

Light weight, Great build quality, Exceptional features for an ITX case, Easy installation and cable management, Mod Friendly, Price
None
While it would have been nice to see this case done in aluminum, you would never see such a case at this price. And one could argue that a single fan might be a bit light and why not include the HDD and pump bracket? I see these as being exclusions that a...
Solid Construction, Good Looks, Good Ventilation, Support Full Water Cooling with Dual Radiators, Easy to Work with, Unique Slide Out Upper Fan Mount
Power Supply Length May Limit GPU Options
The Phanteks Enthoo EVOLV ITX has me a bit taken back. This is my first opportunity working with a Phanteks case and I know see what all the buzz is about. Not a single detail seems to have been overlooked. In fact, it seems as Phanteks went out of their ...
Excellent construction quality, Excellent compatibility, Can hold CPU coolers of up to 192 mm in height, Long GPUs and PSUs will easily fit, You may install up to two radiators into the chassis, Two retail quality fans included, High-quality PCB used for
Second SSD Bracket not included, No way to secure the case so others cannot access the interior, Rather heavy at 9kg
The Phanteks Evolv sells for just below 110 euro (incl. taxes) or 135 US dollars (excl. taxes). Excellent construction quality Excellent compatibility Can hold CPU coolers of up to 192 mm in height Long GPUs and PSUs will easily fit You may install up to...
All in all our time with the Phanteks Enthoo EVOLV was a positive experience with a number of bumps along the way. Thermal performance was less than stellar, and there seemed to be some additional noise from the fans when running them full tilt, but he...
Great Aesthetic Appeal, Clean and solid all steel construction, Great Cable Management.
Lack of a second 2.5" HDD/SSD Tray
The Phanteks Enthoo Evolv offers a very versatile layout with many options for both air cooling and water cooling PC builders. It also includes great aesthetics with a modern appeal....
If you are building a mATX / mini-ITX system, and you can overlook the size of this chassis, you can't find a better built case. The cooling performance is top notch, the support for a wide variety of water cooling components is a huge plus and the qualit...
