The Evolv ATX does great in terms of performance. Because of the three pre-installed 140mm fans at the front and rear of the case and the lack of HDD and ODD cages, air can simply flow into the case to cool the internal components without restriction. The...

We opened the introduction of this review by telling you how much the Phanteks Enthoo Evolv costs. A fairly unusual move. However, if you've read the whole review you'll understand just why we did it. If you haven't read the whole review, by now you'll...

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

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...

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 ...
