5 out of 5 eggsGreat Sexy Compact Case

This review is from: Phanteks Enthoo Evolv iTX Black Steel / Plastic Mini-ITX Tower Computer Case PH-ES215PC_BK

Pros: - Very good looking sleek, minimalist, mature looking case
- Provides excellent cable management opportunities
- Very decent Price
- Its like a cave inside, you can fit anything including but not limited to:
1. 13inch top of the line cards like the 980ti
2. CPU cooling solution like the corsair h100
3. Even another single radiator liquid cooling solution (for the GPU)
4. up to 3 HDDs and 2 SSDs
5. Plenty space for extra fans (also comes with a big one)

Cons: - [Top Ventilation Insufficient] My only gripe is that the top of the case is not removable and has very small tiny vents on the top edges and I think it doesn't provide enough ventilation space for a cpu liquid cooling system like h100 which is placed right under.
I have had to resort to liquid cooling my gpu because of lack of ventilation (but it can fit it so no problem!).

- [Front Ventilation Insufficient] Even though the front of the case has a huge 200mm fan, it simply cannot do it's job well because the front of the case is blocked by the plastic panel. And the fan has the suck in air through small slits on the front. If you are doing hardcore gaming, you probably need to take off the panel for the duration and maybe even install two 140mm fans.

Other Thoughts: My saddest mistake is that I bought the "no window" version. What a dumb thing to do. Trust me when I say you want the windowed one!
I wish I could pay separate for a window side panel, I would definitely pay for it if it was sold separately.

4 out of 5 eggsI really like the case.... but I received it with damage. *updated

This review is from: Phanteks Enthoo Evolv iTX Black Steel / Plastic Mini-ITX Tower Computer Case PH-ES215PC_BK

Pros: I opened the box and started looking at the case, and I really love the layout / design.
Pretty well vented, the entire front of the case is an air inlet, with the cool air flowing in around the edges of the front panel.
Plenty of room for a liquid cooling setup, and just about any Air cooled setup.
Fits a full size graphics card with ease.
Pretty roomy for an ITX case.

Cons: Received this product with damage to the upper right corner of the front panel.
Also had a partially crushed front panel USB port.
*Update -- I contacted PhanteksUSA support. Got them a picture and a copy of my invoice, and the next day they had a replacement panel in the mail. GREAT customer support! Updated to four stars from two, to reflect the quality of the company!

Other Thoughts: I would recommend this to anyone wanting to build a gaming ITX system.
I would buy this again, given the same budget.
I would like to have received an "un-damaged" product, but the company did a great job with customer support.

3 out of 5 eggsIt's good....

This review is from: Phanteks Enthoo Evolv iTX Black Steel / Plastic Mini-ITX Tower Computer Case PH-ES215PC_BK

Pros: * Supports Water-cooling
* Roomy inside for large CPU air cooler
* Great design for Mini ITX build.
* Nice looks
* good price point

Cons: * Only 1 fan on Front- No rear case fan provided.
* Front case fan seems a little loud to me.. Subjective of course...
* Was difficult to fit a larger sized power supply, (based upon my personal experience)

Other Thoughts: Was difficult for me to fit in an EVGA G2 750 Watt power supply. I had to work hard to get this PSU to fit- tight fit with the cables pressed up against the drive cage...... It is a Mini ITX case after all, but just be aware. Overall, pretty good case.... but If i would have known, I would have purchased a more compact PSU instead. Overall, I would consider to purchase Phantek products again in the future.

3 out of 5 eggsGood case in general, minor quality issue.

This review is from: Phanteks Enthoo Evolv iTX Black Steel / Plastic Mini-ITX Tower Computer Case PH-ES215PC_BK

Pros: Good design, easy to build, plenty space for cable management.

Cons: The back panel is a little thin. One major quality issue in my case is that the mounting panel for graphic card is not fit. The screw holes are somehow missed by 1mm, which make it very difficult to tighten the graphic card.

5 out of 5 eggsamazingly quiet case

This review is from: Phanteks Enthoo Evolv iTX Black Steel / Plastic Mini-ITX Tower Computer Case PH-ES215PC_BK

Pros: Moves a deceivingly large amount of air in the configuration I have mine in, which includes the front mounted 200mm intake fan, 2x 120mm ceiling rack mounted fans, and a rear 120mm exhaust fan. And even with all those fans running and the stock processor cooler's fan winding up, it's QUIET. I don't even notice it on unless I check to make sure the power LED is on.

Cons: Tight in some places for cable management

Other Thoughts: The case has a surprising amount of space inside it for any builds that require a lot of cooling tools, but like anything Mini-itx requires a lot of planning to make everything clean and 'just right'

1 out of 5 eggsSerious quality issue & no airflow

This review is from: Phanteks Enthoo Evolv iTX Black Steel / Plastic Mini-ITX Tower Computer Case PH-ES215PC_BK

Pros: Price - This is an obvious one. Super bang for the buck.
Rad support - Yes it does support 280.
PSU shroud - for hiding the ugliness of cables

Cons: Okay, bought this case after reading reviews and users comments(even though I assume most don't have the case). Anyway I gave in to that because I needed an ITX. Hardware Cunucks(sponsored by Phanteks btw) mentioned no airflow issue. WRONG, this case is severely suffocated. There's practically no ventilation in the front nor on the top. I can see they made this case for WC(with the Rad supports) but a good case got to have "decent" airflow at least. This has none. A 200 in front will not cut if if there's no air for it to breeze. And seriously, no rear fan.....Minus 1 or 2 eggs.

Moving on, this is where it gets me. This case is RIGGED with paint issues. A ton of areas(especially at corners) are unpainted. SSD trays unpainted spots, front panel bottom unpainted spots, internal unpainted areas. I can go on and go on. Also the front panel steel is razer thin, I can use my pinky to flex it. It's like a paper cardboard. Minus 3 eggs.

Other Thoughts: I know this case is inexpensive, but that doesn't mean the quality needs to be THAT bad. Quality is on top of my list. It's about how much the manufacturer care or doesn't care about their products.

5 out of 5 eggsMy new Waifu <3

This review is from: Phanteks Enthoo Evolv iTX Black Steel / Plastic Mini-ITX Tower Computer Case PH-ES215PC_BK

Pros: I don't know where to start.

4 years since I built my own personal desktop, its time for a nice upgrade. Wanted a smaller and sleeker design than my last case but didn't need all the extra unused slots and stuff for that showcase look. Of course I had to give up an optical drive but it was worth it. Use it with Corsair's Link controller and a few LEDs it became more of a showcase item. Ordered mines black with the window and overall, im impressed with the design. Extra hardware and preinstalled standoffs for your motherboard. Easy installation of its celling fan rack thing is AMAZING. Cables were very minimal and clean which made my build so much cleaner. Bravo, you made a new fan. Now I must accessorize with your other products for my case YOU designed.

-Plenty of interior space for installation
-Plenty of customizations for EVERYTHING
-No ***ing bright blue LED preinstalled
-Room for a full sized Pwrsupply (Corsair RM750)
-Looks nice with my EVGA Stinger Motherboard
-Looks better with my 2 sticks of Corsair Dominators (2x8GB)
-Room for my Corsair i100 CPU cooler
-Plenty of room for multiple HDDs and SSDs even my motherboard cant handle it.
-FRONT PANEL LIGHT IS FINALLY DIM DOWN! Helps the theme with the smoked grey side window for a little discreet design. I was getting tired having a bright night light on.
-Fits a full sized GPU like the EVGA's GTX970FTW
-I like the tinted window it has on the side
-Room for a rear 140mm fan
-Comes with a 200mm Fan preinstalled in front

And finally, the price was really good for what it is. Heck the thing is made of steel, not aluminum!

10/10 for design, versatility, and construction.
11/10 for its price. Im hooked.

Cons: -Little larger than I thought it would be.
-Its too sexy for my desk, I have to put it on a pedestal next to it, it literally doesn't belong on the floor :]
-I don't know where to put my badges on this thing. Looks good w/o the stickers!

Other Thoughts: Almost the same size as my last matx case, Vulcan by NZXT but a little wider...
