Lack of a second 2.5" HDD/SSD Tray
None

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...

Someone once said “Dynamite comes in small packages” and while the Enthoo Evolv isn't the smallest case on the market I believe the SFF builders can rejoice. There is enough room in this case to mount drives, reservoirs and water pumps in a few different...

Overall, I enjoyed my time with Phanteks' Enthoo-EVOLV. If I could use one word to describe the experience, it would be “premium.” There was just a sense of hefty, premiumness from every angle. I don't even care that premiumness isn't a word, it's the fir...
Let us recap my reasoning and scoring method before diving into my final words. First I look at what the company is saying it offers. For example, say the company states the case supports large / long graphics cards or ten quiet fans. In this example, I e...
A couple of things stayed to same from previous models such as the Evolv MATX, but that is down to the overall look and design on the outside, and the fact that they are offered in black, anthracite gray, and white variations. On the same token, many thin...

There is much good news when all things are considered, but there is also just a bit of bad news to go over, and we may as well get it out of the way. We are sort of splitting hairs about the name plate inside the chassis, but spending this amount of mon...
