PHANTEKS PH-ES518XTG_DAG01 Enthoo Evolv X Midi-Tower Tempered Glass - Black / Grey

For 200 pounds this case has a lot going for it, the build quality is brilliant, beats any other case on the market, the RGB is perfectly done, the space is used well. The tampered glass the way it's darken is so perfect, The antisag bracket is a lovely touch. The Downsides to this case is the ssd mounts on the back u have to buy them why couldn't phanteks include 3 and remove 3 of the HDD bays they included, seems like give me more money method really, unless u hide them behind the cable covers. Which in return causes the cables to bend, the cable management is a tad poor, the fans for stock are decent not noctua level but decent does the job no need to replace they silent and push a lot of air through. The second system installation is just a gimmick I rather not use it, it's there if u want it but I rather just stick a full rad in the place instead. Overall great case.

This revised version of the Evolv really brings the goods. The build process is a joy as there is plenty of space inside the case for a standard ATX motherboard. You can easily fit a 360mm radiator up top (obviously check radiator thickness compared to your motherboard VRM heatsink height for compatability) or front. The case provides really good cable management at the back with ample Velcro ties and all your cables are neatly tucked away behind a door which has 2 latches to hold it in place.Air circulation is sufficient. The case comes with 3 140mm fans (2 at the front and 1 at the back) which max out at 1200RPM and are all PWM controlled. There is a fan hub at the back of the case so you can minimise connections going to your motherboard but, I would suggest that you connect your AIO fans to the motherboard directly so that you have individual control of them separate from the case fans. The front cut outs for air intakes are larger in this revised model, same for the top of the case.Although Phanteks provides built in vertical gpu PCI-E brackets in the case and part of the vertical mount kit (the bottom holder but, no PCI-E cable) I would suggest using a 3rd party solution like CableMod or Cooler Master. The built in solution locates your gpu very close to the tempered glass panel and starves your gpu of air if you are not going with a custom water cooling solution.This is a great case for the price, gives a very premium feel, the amount of accessories you get with it is really good ( a full toolbox with ample additional screws, 6 HDD mounts). I would highly recommend this to anyone who is looking for a case in the £200 range.

It is certainly expensive but this is one hell of a case. The layout is great and cable routing is a breeze. The RGB lighting is not too in your face and the strip down the side really sets the case off. With both sides being glass it is quite a heavy case which may put a few people off this case if attending lans regularly. There has been a lot of thought gone into this case by phanteks and it really does show. I have owned many cases in my time and built many PCs, this one I think is the best looking and best laid out I have ever done. The case fans, whilst being very quiet will however be replaced with some noctuas, not because of any heat issues but because they are the best fans you can buy.All in all, a fantastic case that really looks the part and is a dream to build with.

The Phantek marketing team have done a great job showing off it's form online but it's even better up close!Looks aside building in it is easy - the layout, space and attention to detail for customiability is equally impressive.The attention to detail follows through in the packaging and accessories box which are less important but do highlight the company ethos and create a seamless experience for the buyer.My only caution is that customers should be aware the amount of customisability that allows for a large amount of variation and lead to incompatibility issues - this is of course user error. Read thhe manual.Hardware Cannucks did a great review of the Evolv X.

Amazing case and it’s huge! The build quality, the space, the looks and the airflow is fantastic, will be starting a water cooling loop in the next few months!
