The Phanteks Enthoo Evolv mATX Tempered Glass is a near-perfect mATX chassis. Some may consider it a bit expensive for a case of that size, but once you look at the materials used, consisting of thick aluminum slabs and glass panels, you will quickly reconsider. On top of that, Phanteks has taken all the great elements of the Enthoo Evolv and removed the 5.25" bay to utilized the space for much better liquid-cooling compatibility.
By techPowerUp! onWhen we first reviewed this case almost 3 years ago we were blow away and 3 years later we are still impressed. The design of the Enthoo Evolv mATX is just amazing, three years later and it still looks sexy as hell sitting on your desk. Of course since...
By ThinkComputers onThe Evolv Series from Phanteks is one of our favorite case series in the current era of cases. They just have the sleek and elegant look, are easy to build in, and are made with quality materials. Added tempered glass just makes these cases better. This case is selling for $179.99 at our favorite online retailer, which is a bit expensive, but we feel it is worth it.
By ThinkComputers onHowever, the issues with the sticker residue, weak magnets, and stiff hinges leave something of a sour taste, especially when they're a key part of the cost and appeal of the case. This, as well as the loss of the PWM fan hub, holds the Envoo Evolv MATX Tempered Glass back from our top award, but they're not deal-breakers, and it would certainly make a lovely home for a premium micro-ATX system, especially if you're keen on water-cooling and RGB lighting.
By Bit-Tech onOverall we were very impressed by the Evolv ATX Tempered Glass Edition and think it is well worth the asking price. The only down side, apart from the need to build a tidy PC, is that it really doesn’t make sense to use an All in One liquid cooler in this case. Switch to a custom loop on your CPU and GPU and the pieces all fall into place.
By KitGuru onDespite the negatives (which are very minor), I would recommend this case to anyone looking to build an HTPC or mATX gaming PC with a single GPU. The TG Edition has some serious cooling options and is wide enough to handle most fan load-outs of mid tower ATX chassis while keeping a bit smaller of a foot print on your desk.
By BenchmarkReviews onThe EVOLV MATX is the culmination of the latest of trends and Phanteks listening to their customers! From every angle this chassis is stellar to look at, it is as solid as can be, and is ready for whatever water cooling you want. We cannot find any reason why the Evolv MATX should be passed over.
By TweakTown onSo does the Evolv have any major faults? Not really, and to be honest we're struggling to find any minor ones. This case has impressed us, and we mean seriously impressed us. Put quite simply there's little else on the market that is able to offer what the Enthoo Evolv does in terms of build quality, performance and capability, and at just £80 if the “Price” graph went that high we’d be winding it up to 11.
By Overclock3D onHet is een feit dat de kostprijs van glazen panelen niet zo hoog is maar de meeste fabrikanten zien we toch een pittige meerprijs vragen terwijl Phanteks dat wederom niet doet, ook wanneer het hier om twee glazen panelen gaat, iets wat m.i. toch gewoon mooier is dan een enkel paneel zoals bij de slechts iets goedkopere concurrentie.
By Tweakers onOn prend l'ancien modèle EVOLV MATX, on l'améliore, on met du verre trempé, on ajoute le RGB, on améliore la compatibilité et on obtient le EVOLV MATX 2.0 que nous avons testé ce jour. Et clairement, pour 129 €, ce dernier est un Must Have pour qui veut...
