[@misterstif]

Really appreciate attention to detail in this review. Especially showcasing covers removal and how the case looks without them. That's exactly what I wanted to see, thank you!

[@urgatorb8]

I've been considering this case for an upcoming build and this is only the second informative video about this case I've found. Excellent job for walking through this case in a practical real-world way. Much appreciated! God bless.

[@mlpschwein5032]

Great review, wtched some from bigger channels, but this stood really out to me. Everithing regarding building in this case was adressed. What fans were used in this dual system build, they look really stunning.

[@ProSimRacing]

I'm really liking this case a lot, this just might be the case for my new build. Very informative video my friend, keep up the great work.

[@tradewinds2008]

I want one. Great build. Thanks for all that you do.

[@10jinroh]

Excellent review I must say, you have a new subscriber!!!

[@OlofsFavoriter]

Thanks man! This review mad eme decide to buy this!

[@bs11100010]

my next case. Perfect.

[@ironwoof9113]

This case is actually amazing!

[@van11041]

I Just preorder one today, can't wait

[@arkratos3727]

I was totally expecting this case to break 200, easily 250, the fact they managed to get this under 200 is really amazing, well done phanteks, and thanks GGF for a great video!

[@dachopup8495]

I luv phanteks cases I got the p 400s awesome case for the money but I think I'll be upgrading to this one beautiful case

[@tristanday3128]

How has your experience with the case been, if you upgraded. I'm considering buying this for a build and would like to hear from someone who is using the case

[@steverl22]

Couldn't wait for it. Went with a View 71 RGB.....maybe for my next build in a couple of years

[@chrishexx3360]

That's the first case i've seen in ages that pretty much ticks all boxes for my dual radiator loop. When I upgrade soon, I think this will be on my list.

[@bubchamp9864]

Another incredible pc rview. Keep up thoes cool cinimatics

[@sharedito]

Me: How many SSDs can a person need? This dude: As many as the Evolve X can fit

[@randyhemp]

That's beautiful

[@JayzBeerz]

this is my next case thanks mate

[@control4050]

Damn , never have i been so impressed by a pc case. This case is insane.

[@MrEliwankenobi]

Beautiful Case!!

[@sadezsubba1942]

awesome detailed review

[@willy.campos]

That tower is a dream! 🤩

[@Aska808]

Cant wait for the Timelaps

[@saedaslam2620]

Thank God I saw this video. I was considering buying an evolv x, but I didn't know that it was so huge. It would be great if they decide to manufacture the case in the mid tower format

[@sadikahmed7398]

cool build i really like your builds

[@fongvang935]

3+ years later and still loving it

[@user-sn4dr1vi6q]

I just got my Evolv last year,then the new one coming!! XnX

[@paulferenc]

Got mine today : phanteks enthoo evolv x satin black . Now the case of my dreams has come true ! I think the price was ok for what it offers .

[@conraddevera]

damn, top notch features. if it wasn't hard to ship, I would snatch one of this (never tried shipping a big case to the other side of the world)

[@KelvinKMS]

This case is much better than previous version !!!

[@user-vj4ih9pp9z]

I almost got this, but then I saw View 71 from tt, I bought it right away. Looks good with 9 riing plus fans and rog cpu cooler

[@Adam-rt7lp]

Looks fantastic. Finally something that can challenge my 4 year old Define S

[@issaciams]

Really great review dude. I love Phanteks cases. They are the beez nees. 😁

[@Dota-kx7ud]

Amazing build 😀😀😀😀

[@voluntarism335]

i have the original phantek evolv atx and i want this case even more

[@uki648]

waiting for the time lapse build video :)

[@Giuseppetm99]

Damn. I love this case.

[@__dudewitagun__4607]

I'm not so sure about the lack of rubber grommets but i love this case! I also liek the h500p mesh

[@abdolkarimmehrparvar6583]

Passionate, like always

[@Earthserpent89]

my next case. ATX gaming system + ITX linux server. Perfect!

[@yvanmorquecho8449]

i love this case 😍

[@Yo-Man]

_splendid_ review.

[@berrydex]

I would really like to see some size comparisons with for example the PC-011 Dynamic. Yes you can look up the specs but it's hard to get a good picture of size. I have the Be Quiet dark base 900 pro for a while now but it's too large for my taste.

[@michaeltouch8882]

Its a lot taller. I ordered the pc-011 but returned it because it couldnt fit my noctua dh15 cooler because of it being split compartment

[@kairiclairehayakawa4484]

Would be nice if you have a build montage for this case

[@DJJEZ]

Building my first ever PC and this will be the case

[@ethan_99705]

Good video bro

[@l0unny]

Nice review, the horizontal mount for the GPU looks like at will hold 2 water cooled GPU, please let me know if this is correct. thank you again lov this case

[@SirMoDeNa]

Very nice build and incredible look&feel with that brass tube. What about temperatures and fans rpm at full load?

[@onimashou8705]

That InWin Tou 2.0 in the background stole the show, eye candy

[@trembledust6819]

It is PC Porn no question but I don't like the placement of the front usb ports. Other then that its crack.

[@nickyjeanty4351]

I don't think I could handle this much POWER

[@VistaPanoramicabyLello]

Thanks for the video. Do you have the link for the vertical gpu mount that fits this case? Thanks again and best regards from Brazil.

[@Dshmokiez]

I want this!

[@uncledamfee2347]

holy smokes the RAM alone cost more than my whole build lmao

[@boshir123]

Lol

[@laylen245]

I'm still trying to figure out where i put my DVD drive

[@VanilloBumbleboo1981]

It's March 2024 and in my eyes, it's still the most beautiful and worthiest PC case on the market. I got it in anthracite, silver and white. The black one is still missing...

[@TheMrwright1]

691 likes and ZERO dislikes.... I'm proud of you internet! Great review mate!

[@jojococostudio]

Woohoo!

[@Minecraft2Xtreme]

How are you gonna mod a perfect case like this?

[@mynameisozymandias811]

jojococo studio Is there anything left for you to mod in this case? I really want you to mod this case and make it more awesome then it is now =) I loved your Phanteks Enthoo Evolv ATX mod and custom water cooling. Best Evolv mod

[@matacachorro4090]

The perfect case.

[@msgeen]

My next case :)

[@salkhan123]

When would they restock this? I wish I knew about this before!

[@severintofte4828]

Damn! Sleek case!

[@michigantoga]

Yes!

[@trembledust6819]

Questions: Does the case support push pull configs at the top? Does the case come with a pump bracket as past Phanteks cases have and if so have they moved the area or expanded upon where a pump can be mounted?

[@haurjie]

Hey there, now in April 2019, have you gotten any word from Phanteks about the revised version? Where they used wider feet regarding the tilting issue when you open the case doors?

[@jensharbers6702]

I have that Case. Well, when it is Empty it will tilt when you open one of the Glass Panels and the other is Removed. Specially when you remove the (Front Looking) Left side Glass and open the Back side Glass Fully. I don't see it as an Issue, because when you Building it I've removed both Panels and the Top, after that Reinstalled all of them and put one Thumbscrew in the Backside Panel. With Stuff in it it won't tilt at all (Depends on what you've got in there). It's a nice case, It is clean looking and everything is nicely accessible. ^^

[@supersloth1667]

I love this case, and want it but it seems way too large for my system. My current case is a corsair 200r and Im not sure I could get used to how much larger this one is, but it sure is pretty and packed with features, what case would be similar in looks but not as large? The original is still a bit large for my liking but who knows, still may order it.

I really wish there would be a mix between this case and the Lian Li O11 Dynamic.

[@xKILLERxCREZx5]

it is the case of my dreams, it is, it is!

[@saman5986]

I just wish that there was a reset button in the front like the P600S. But not a huge big deal I guess!

[@jcny08]

it would of been nice if it would of have a small cover for the cut out on the psu shroud to give u a option to have it open or not.

[@khmergodhobbies]

did you like building in this case or the lian li o11 dynamic more?

[@Q8Police777]

Damn I wish you showed how to use the fill/drain ports which i think is a big part of the watercooling in the case.

[@LunchBXcrue]

Where do you get those metal tubes? I assume they are pre-bent? I'm planning on swapping my soft tube out for rigid tubing but I love the look of the dark chrome metal tubing. Where can I buy it??

[@connylaurine745]

The tubing itself is just fucking insane.

[@pocpc1788]

Phanteks please make a smaller version, matx or itx, ill buy asap!

[@Zentrify]

They have a mini itx and micro atx version of the evolv but its the last model

[@coolbeans6148]

totally agree! I dont understand why they havent yet???

[@Minimalici0us]

I feel like 199€ for this level of quality and set of features is a steal 👀 Well done to the Phanteks, I’m very satisfied with this case 🤝

[@WillsB3]

Thanks for the video. This case looks great. Not sure I like the slidable cable cover things instead of grommets though. Seems over-engineered for little benefit? Personally I think one long grommeted slot would have been nicer but to each their own. One question, which colour version of the case are you showing in the video? Can’t tell if it’s the black or grey. Thanks!

[@KarmaKahn]

It looks very much like the anthracite grey option.

[@Robbinsffxi]

That is my next case, perriod.

[@mururoa7024]

12:20 Dude, the doors can easily be take off for a reason. Think! 😉

[@Agm1995gamer]

That moment when you order the define r6 and few days later all the evlove x hype videos get released.

[@kevinpetersen9090]

How did the reservoir get mounted? Looking to watercool in this case and don't see how you're supposed to do it.

[@BlueTheRage]

Will that vertical mount fit an Aorus 1080ti ? I mean it will because its triple slot, but I fear it will severely limit airflow to the card.

[@PediatricRAAM1]

Is there a video showing dual system on this case?

[@Keyvanizator]

The deal breaker for me was the clearance in the front of the psu shroud for the radiator+fan. I can't fit my reservoir there. :(

[@Dragonwar0]

Did phantek ever revised the feet of the case for the tilt issue? Also is this the black color? Hard to tell on amazon sample pics.

[@JonnyDL]

Is there a release date for this? I thought it was supposed to be coming out late August, and we're getting mighty close to the end of that. Great video by the way. I desperately want this case.

[@trembledust6819]

Preorders are suppose to be available at Phantek's site today Aug 28th but currently it is showing the status of the case as being sold out. If this is a placeholder, glitch etc not sure. I'd give it till mid day to tomorrow to see if this changes. Shipping of the case is said to be Sept 10th so assume brick and mortar and e-retailers to have the case for sale then.

[@Fahrenheit38]

How wide is cut out into the basement for the front rad? I like Hardwear Labs rads but they tend to be a bit wide and not fit into these cut outs like this case has.

[@49siao]

How does it compare to the Lianli 011 series in term of water cooling and trying to stuff as much hardware as possible?

[@jawnutssun2728]

Do you prefer this over the Lian-li pc o11 Dynamic? Can't seem to choose between the Evolv X and the Dynamic.

[@boldizsarjakab]

I love how you made the tube around the pcie cables

[@driesmp]

What about a 420 in front and 360 in top? I'd like to see the spacing of this particular configuration if possible.

[@KashHussain]

Dries Michiels not possible. I have 420 front and 280 in the top. Can’t fit 2 360’s either.

[@oakfig]

Is there enough room for a push pull config on the front radiator?

[@SilatGayongTiger]

could we add HDDs after installing radiator with fans in the front of the case?

[@eklipz2413]

when you said "it just works" i got nvidia stream flashbacks

[@ndwolfy7809]

Would it have enough space for a dual loop though 🤔

[@Kryojenix]

5:55 I find this case neat, but very understated in design (i.e. a bit boring for my flamboyant tastes) but that PSU cutout window to allow viewing of a potential future RoG Thor PSU's live power drain OLED display makes me consider it. And yeah, the RGB's do bring the understated design to greater flamboyance. Humm - thinking...

[@jfairplane8520]

Hi is there any mount hole for the reservoir and the pump ? thanks

[@myoldchannelelelel]

I love this case, however, since I am doing an air-cooled build I do miss a cable cover in the front of the case. Now all of my PSU cables are visible :(

[@peatiilol]

Still looking for evolv silenced edition

[@philpc92]

I need a TT view 71 vs evolv x comparison now

[@jcny08]

when will be released and for how much in the states?

[@dimmittrivyev147]

When having 2 motherboards onboard does it have separate switch buttons for each motherboard?
