This Evolv ATX is pricey, but then you take a look at what’s included and the stunning build quality that’s been achieved, and you begin to appreciate what Phanteks has pulled off at this price. The case is made up of solid 3mm-thick aluminium panels situated on top of an all-steel chassis to give it a hefty, solid dependability. There’s little to no fl ex in any of the panels (including the windowed side panel), all of which have sounddampening foam on the joins, preventing any excess noise from vibration. The case is incredibly modular. Supporting up to seven 3.5-inch drives (fi ve with the included brackets) and four 2.5-inch drives (two included), it’s neatly partitioned into two separate compartments for your motherboard and power supply, with plenty of room for cable management, including some Velcro cable straps and a multitude of tie-down points as well. There’s even a sliding radiator bracket in the top that you can remove for easy installation of all-inones or radiators, hinged and removable side-panel doors, and support for water-cooling components. As far as negatives go, the front I/O consists of two USB 3.0 ports and a mic and headphone jack. It would’ve been nice to have seen an additional two USB ports here. Additionally, while the perforated fl oor separating the power supply from the motherboard allows for ample airfl ow, it would’ve looked a lot cleaner if the panel was solid. All in all, it’s defi nitely worth buying for those who want a premium case with plenty of room inside.
