Dmitry all i can say is that I WAS BLOWN AWAY by the lighting idea behind the framing at 2:08... I mean HOLY CRAP i literally just paused it and stared at that for a few minutes. The door with the light there and the lamp at the desk reflecting from that Tempered Glass panel is just mind blowing and I hope you won't mind as i'll keep that idea in mind for one of my future videos. PURE VISUAL DELIGHT. THANK YOU!

[@HardwareCanucks]

Glad you enjoyed it :) playing with reflection was fun, highly encourage you do so too!

[@gymweeb9229]

MrHollow i bet you that that is the toilet!

[@jonidefer313]

i was gonna comment the same thing, very nice and intuitive

[@HardwareCanucks]

Total was the toilet BTW! :D

[@MrHollow]

Well now we know where all great ideas come from :D

[@monstercatsilk]

HWC, so nice of you to give support to our "Shadows' and "Untold" singles, as the official soundtrack of this review. Truly grateful.

[@markcharest]

Great review as always! Glad to see Phanteks has listened to their customers and re-implemented the swivel hinge on the new TG variant.

[@fitzayyy]

Man you could make a pile of shit look mint with your camera and lighting skills

[@MrtinVarela]

It's safe to say he can make actual shit look like chocolate ice cream. I'm not even joking.

[@HardwareCanucks]

challenge... accepted? lol picking up my GH5 this week WOOO -D.

[@HarrowedDreams]

What room is there for a regular "ATX"? i.e. a "MSI z270 M5 enthusiast motherboard that is 12"x9.6" ? Does this fit seeing the size of this "micro" is not so "micro"?

[@shazzy04]

msi m5 is atx. this is Matx, Atx doesnt fit matx cases. but matx does fit atx cases.

[@expatxperience]

The cinematography in your videos is insane, I often find myself appreciating the awesome shots more than the actual products! Keep it up. I might actually buy this one :D

[@kurikuri22]

Simply love the cinematography of your videos and this one is no exception. Please keep reviewing more mATX cases. They're my next case form factor of choice.

[@aristotlewilde]

Amazing visuals as always. I wasn't even in the market for a new case, but you make this look so darn good.

[@RussellKasem]

Just picked up the Evolv TG ATX per your recommendation in your earlier video. Its such an awesome case.

[@Kiki099]

Thanks for finally posting the review. I've been waiting 4 months since you teased this case back in January at the event. :)

[@djc2874]

so excited for all these matx cases

[@Beesem]

Happy to see all these great mATX cases coming out this year!

[@raphael9307]

FINALLY YES !! I think this is the best case on the market : reasonable size, awesome quality of materials and finish, tempered glass on hinges, great for watercooling...

[@bloogaming8827]

+one two Wait are you saying that throwing water on your computer is bad if you have this case? Oh no! Who would have guessed drenching your electronics would damage them!

[@invertMASA]

I love all your case reviews. You have helped me out with my new case selection so much! Keep it up man!

[@Dashrendar2507]

Dmitry, thank you so much because you finally found my next case ! I found nothing that really impressed me in the months I was looking; I was going to get the Evolv ATX TG. I actually never cared about mATX but seeing how they improved on the Evolv ATX's flaws (restricted airflow, tempered glass screws, etc) , I just fell in love with it. Now all that's left is finding a enthusiast-grade X370 mATX mobo and waiting to see how Vega performs...

[@airman_85uk]

I've been waiting for this for ages!! Can't wait to get my hands on it :)

[@MartinLawlietProioxix]

Fantastic case, definitely on my radar when I move out of the Air 240. Beautifully shot as always.

[@2sheification]

You were the only person who mentioned the mATX version getting tempered glass after that show and I am glad trusted and waited so long.

[@Thomas-by1oh]

your reviews are the best out there, and your camera shots are simply incredible

[@timberlock9857]

I've been waiting for this TG edition!

[@davmomo88]

I'm glad I found Your channel! Thanks for the infos man. Keep up the good work. Bigup

[@havoc010101]

That ITX case was sweet, I will have get one for my next build! Great video!

[@WafoeGaming]

I'm using the non TG version of this and it's awesome really... Very cool that they made this!

[@Joeheadred]

This case is beautiful. This guys from phanteks know how to develop and make a case. And you Dimitri, you know how to make us want to buy. I bought the ATX a year ago. It is just gorgeous.

[@MrCatLady]

I feel like I've been waiting for this for years, finally time to build my rig 😌

[@milesbarrineau1584]

Happy to say that I got this case and just finished the build using a 1700 and 1080 (sadly couldn't swing a 1080ti) and I couldn't be happier with the visuals alone. Currently waiting a couple months before I do the custom loop I have planned but for the time I couldn't be happier.

[@mhein5589]

IT'S FINALLY HERE!! BEAUTIFUL

[@WarriorsPhoto]

That is a beautiful case for a mATX set up. Good review as well Dmitry.

[@DhagGames]

Yes! I don't like gigantic cases like full atx cases but I've been in love with phantex enthoo evolv for quite a long time, this one is a total win for me

[@andrei3720]

cant wait for you guys to pass 1 million. You trully deserve it!

[@alexandruhanganu4294]

I really enjoy your videos. You really are a talented content creator with awesome cinematics skills. Keep up the good work!

[@BowlingCraft]

I'm Suprised that Chris Pratt can review computer cases... LOL

[@Tkourtog]

Love it! The best mini TG case out there. Phantex is one step fw from the competition

[@RidzuanK13]

"Turbulence rebound". 10 points for that Dmitry. People can easily miss that one out when it comes to picking a case.

[@johnlouisvaldez3074]

Whooo I've been waiting for this! Thanks Phanteks!

[@PlayStefan_misc]

Finally a mATX version of this without the IO on the ride side, perfect! Nice video with cool and great looking shots... as always!👍🏻

[@GuillaumeMoisan]

Hey Dimitri ! Loved that video. Keep doing what you're doing, you honestly have one of the best tech youtube channel this is. Awesome quality, great reviews and I love how original your ads are ;) ! Keep it up (Y) !

[@MSK-cn8gm]

Interesting Dmitry past 3 videos u r style of review has changed a lot.Gudluck...

[@carlunaden]

*Sobs* FINALLY, mATX GETTING LOVE! Now please include ITX cases on this hype too!

[@fotingomaster]

Freakin love Phanteks cases. Great layout and looks and features.

[@MrMaymes]

This is a beautiful case. I have the larger one and I have to say it's the best case I have ever built with and it just looks amazing - the side windows.

[@rickc2222]

Just got mine delivered today...it was slightly warped causing the glass panels to not close completely - gave the top of frame a little twist to correct and got it perfectly square. I'm happy with it but it was sooooo easy to bend the frame i would say i wish it were built a little thicker/heavier/stronger... other than that no complaints - beautiful case I'm quite sure i'll be happy with it.

[@ThePlushNinja]

You make the best case reviews Dmitry!

[@NIVIN94]

Gorgeous case. Thanks for the review

[@thecooncartman1304]

No doubt this is the best looking case out there. Great video dmitry

[@nastyboy9785]

Hi Dmitry , Im glad that Phanteks went with aluminum not plastic & all them extra upgrades makes a premium case . keep up the awesome work Phanteks & Dmitry :-)

[@MarcBehar]

Great vid! I just got this case and can say it's really nice to build in. The only thing to watch out for is length of your PSU, cause there's not much space (my cables have to run where the drive bays would be).

[@shiftingstates]

I sold my h440 to buy the phanteks p400s with tempered glass because of you, no regrets(altough I miss some premium content of the h440) Love your vids man, Regards from Portugal.

[@sceancrottynesi1638]

Really love how the glass is matching with the aluminum... it reminds me of Metal Gear MkII ! GORGEOUS

[@rzrbladez]

Awesome, looks like I've finally found my next case!!

[@mushi_k]

Peeled my wallet right off. Darn it Dmitry!

[@HardwareCanucks]

lmao

[@MikeRudolph]

Sick b-roll as always!

[@JamesRussoMillas]

These Phanteks cases are the best looking ones out there, elegant yet functional.

[@StachelyPigglyBottom]

This will be my upgrade. I wanted an enthoo pro replacement option with TG and a front panel IO instead of being on the side. Perfect!

[@averageadam7313]

This is literally my dream case, since I have a micro atx motherboard!

[@luggialbert]

Very nice and detailed video, every time nice to watch (same with you're other videos). Like the EVOLVE mATX TG approach for the SSD-Mounts. BTW, like you're small plant ;) Greetings from Germany

[@GeorgePapageorgakis]

I want the exact same case in m-ITX. Outstanding case!

[@Aikuchi.]

Another great review, HardwareCanucks is by far my favorite place to watch case reviews. And I have recommended you to others, you are appreciated. I have been wondering if I should get a mATX ryzen b350 board or wait for them a mITX to come out. Phanteks does make a pretty and well built case.

[@AgentHeX_0007]

A much better implementation of the TG panel fitment. I wish they had done this on the ATX version.

[@HardwareCanucks]

I think they will... it's a simple slide in upgrade for them.

[@AgentHeX_0007]

I hope they offer a kit to convert the ATX. I bought a gunmetal Evolv ATX after watching your review of it and love it. 3 things i didn't like are the TG panel screws, no quick release for the top of the case and i also found it had limited fitment for x99 E-ATX due to the angled grommeted cable entry panel. I know its an ATX case but i did manage to squeeze my msi x99 titanium into it by adding small washers under the rear motherboard posts.

[@codibrad]

Optionally sold separately as an upgrade option maybe?

[@LRRPEXILE]

Marc Weale I Would like to see that because I really love the case, but my Mobo is also Extended.

[@HarrowedDreams]

What room is there for a regular "ATX"? i.e. a "MSI z270 M5 enthusiast motherboard that is 12"x9.6" ? Does this fit seeing the size of this "micro" is not so "micro"?

[@frej8712]

I feel like matx is the "sweetspot" of case/mobo sizes but there is so few matx mobos and cases......

[@maddawgzzzz]

Almost ALL matx fit full size atx boards. Micro is the length of the front eliminated where CD drives and HDDs used to mount.

[@davidashley211]

You think I could fit a full atx in this case even with power supply! That's what I'm looking to do.

[@VanilloBumbleboo1981]

To my very eyes, there's no competition to the EVOLV series, really! I own two EVOLV ATX Tempered Glass Edition cases and I'm going to get the third one this year - the satin black one. I always feel happy when I get into my living room and look at this beauty of a PC case! Phanteks got it right with this one!

[@japhethmiller]

which color do you like the best? i'm leaning towards silver but the black is my favorite. I jus think the silver contrast might scream quality more than black-out

[@SharrodVisuals]

Do you have any cooling issues? I have heard there is problems with the evolv range. not including the new evolv X.

[@andreacocchini6747]

I've just unboxed my evolv mATX... i think i've never seen something so beautiful. thanks to your fantastic review and all your other videos i chose the perfect case for me. I think you could really sell water to fishes man ahah(thats what we say about a good sellsman in Italy). Greetings from Florence

[@danieldc8841]

Damn it - this fixes all of the problems I have with my enthoo evolv matx. That tempered glass is beautiful.

[@DoomWalker42]

I'm starting to like this case brand more and more. I will probably get this case when I return to atx after itx.

Phanteks should apply this combo to the ITX variant. The swiveling panels are awesome and the almost fully blacked out right panel looks gorgeous. Please Phanteks show the ITX EVOLV some love !!!!

[@excalibruh6751]

Just as I was looking for a new mATX chassis and the original Evolv was not cutting it. YES!

[@Wistbacka]

Just epic beauty! It's like Phanteks has been reading my complaints about the EVOLV TG and Corsair 570X, where I literally suggested to both manufacturers to start making smoked/dimmed glass panels, so we could get the shineyness of the glass but still get to hide our cable mess. And that is exactly what they did. Bravo! All though, that "hole" for the SSDs really screams for nothing but Samsung EVO/PRO disks with their black color. I only wish Phantexs would release an S-variant (Silent) as they've done with their Eclipse-series (P400S). This case with some sound dampening materials would be perfect in my world I do also agree that the proportions of this case would have been better if they skipped the top-mount radiator support. Question is now... should I go Z270 now, or X370... The Z270G Strix is the perfect mATX-mobo, but Ryzen is the future... But is yet to show some decent x370 mATX Mobos... Great Review as usual, Dimitri!

[@acidrobot777]

Finally an upgrade to this case size! *drools*

[@PainandPerish]

That peeling off sound is so satisfying

[@xXAngelmlXx]

Nice lovely peal off

[@spicywaffles4820]

I've been anxiously waiting for the release of this case but sadly it is not what I expected. Phanteks made the case too tall, leaving behind a benefit of having a mATX PC, a smaller footprint. I also dislike what they did with the back sidepanel. I really liked that you can show off your cable management with the Evolv ATX TG.

[@bansky3237]

SpicyWaffles Thats the thing that I dont like about the case. if the other Panel would just be Metal it would be perfect imo.

[@Jordan_Jetter]

If they made it any shorter two things would have happened, 1. It would be hard to fit in an AIO with the limited frontal space, 2. It would be the same size as the Evolv ITX. The Evolv cases run large, just look at the ATX version it is 25-35% larger than other ATX mid towers. They are built to have the space for radiators not just to cram the motherboard inside, I would much rather have this than the INWIN 301.

[@cos824]

Wow! Sure looking good! 👍

[@ColinBlountPhotography]

FINALLY. Thank you Phanteks

[@FuadShaqiri]

Your cinematography skills are over 9000

[@Greger88]

I really hope we get these updates to the "regular" Evolv ATX TG, the hinges should have been there from the start and I really like the back side having just a small window for the ssd tray.

[@ShutUp-ss5hf]

Holy Crap.... Beautiful.

[@OTechnology]

I NEED THIS!

[@technocoh]

this case looks so awesome, futuristic!!! :O

[@HassanAli-tp9jq]

Amazing case wish to see the swivel tempered glass approach in all upcoming ATX cases

[@Kenji1685]

Awesome!! I was hoping they'd make a mATX with tempered glass. :-) You make beautiful presentations Demetri. :-)

[@IamPako]

Dude I listen too your voice every times before I go to bed. ( you should start a podcast)

[@YoKhoe]

Yay on the swivel glass door. Anyone know if this means a refresh for the ATX version of this case?

[@TruthxAR]

WHEN is this case coming out? Noone has seemed to answer this

[@mmxr]

The mATX cases are making a comeback!!!

[@4IN14094]

The airflow problem on top can greatly improve by just tape out the gaps left after installing fans and/or 240 radiator.

[@Mutio86]

Nice review as always! Do you think we'll see those new extras like the swivel doors with an updated Evolv ATX TG soon?

[@WolF-if9ys]

what a nice case!

[@genericasian]

Wow, that's a gorgeous case! I really want an ITX version of it, currently have an Evolv ITX but not very many good choices for TG in that size. :(

[@vareos9874]

dang this with custom watercooling is going to Be insane. imagine the beautiful sli systems in there. probably going to look gorgeous

[@CharlieMike25]

Massive like. Future buy for sure.

[@alexanderaronsson8001]

Sooo good looking! Going mATX after seeing this case!

[@captnmaico6776]

Wow looks incredible good for such a price

[@hamilpatel4025]

love the black out tg, looks super stealthy

[@PC-LAD]

Quality, vid and case

[@Psittac20]

Have the Evolv ATX TG and love it, I only have horizonal flow, actually only front intake on mine because the huge mmrs pump res combo goes from the power supply shroud to the top and I can't fit the bracket. Glass panels are off most of the time because I'm trying to figure out my cablemod pci-e cables but a full custom sleeved cable will let me show off the back too when it's done. I really like the hinges on this matx version though, looks nice.

[@ronan615]

If they brought some of the improvements such as increased front-intake, the blackout edges on the front panel and almost entirely blacked out back panel to the Evolve ATX I'd buy it in a heartbeat. The only thing I'd really like to see is some improvements with the rubber grommets and PCI covers, as well as having the top cover raised by 10mm so that you can fit standard 25mm (thick) fans in the top, allowing for more headroom to install a 360rad up top.

[@herrdoodlesmith511]

Omg when you peeled of the plastic I got goose bumps

[@Porgeot]

Big mini is just perfect! I want one

[@MiddleofKnowhere]

I hope evolve mid-tower . . . evolves to the swivel doors and such. This looks good.

[@neilbertram1922]

The glass doors are a work of art.

[@Loudini514]

I am using the Silverstone SG09. Still a really good and space efficient mATX case
