Phanteks Enthoo Evolv ITX Special Edition Case Review

A Look Inside
To get inside all of you have to is remove the side panel. Inside you will find a red-painted interior that will match up with many different gaming motherboards and is perfect for people doing red-themed mods. The interior is separated into two sections, the top section is for your motherboard, graphics card and optional storage. The bottom section is for your power supply and more storage.

Towards the front of the case you will find the multi-function mid-plate. Here you can install 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch hard drives using the included drop-n-lock SSD bracket or the optional 3.5-inch bracket. The mid-plate can also be used for mount a watercooling reservoir or pump. While there is a 200 mm fan mounted on the front of the case if you remove it you can fit dual 120 / 140 mm fans or up to a 240 mm radiator.

Taking a closer look at the motherboard tray there are actually six cable routing holes, two of which have the rubber inserts installed. There is a very large CPU cutout and the four motherboard standoffs have been preinstalled.

One really cool thing about this case and many other Phanteks cases is the pull-out radiator bracket. It can be removed by taking out two screws on the front and two more on the back. It allows you to install fans or watercooling radiators outside of the case then easily slide it back it. This is great as working in such a small case can be a pain sometimes.

Taking the opposite side panel of the case off we can see how the rest of the case it set up. One thing I really like about this case is the included velcro cables ties on the back of the case. These will help you keep cables organized. The bottom of the case is pretty open as most of it will be taken up by your power supply. We can also see the lock-n-drop SSD tray, you can leave it here if you want or you can move it to the multi-function plate on the opposite side of the case.

There are two hard drive trays on the bottom of the case. These plastic trays each pull out and support both 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch hard drives.
