Over the last few years Phanteks & the Enthoo Evolv ITX cases have made quite a name for themselves thanks to their unique blend of quality & unique aesthetics The arrival of the new Enthoo Evolv ITX Mini-ITX case represents a fresh spin on current trends with a side-panel constructed entirely of premium tempered glass Doing justice to the commensurately high-end hardware has in this case meant the welcome addition of RGB lighting as well as integrated lighting controls THE FEATURES OF THE PHANTEKS ENTHOO EVOLV ITX MINI-ITX CASE AT A GLANCETimeless classic design with a unique aesthetic Premium tempered-glass side panel Impressive RGB lighting & integrated controls 2x USB (Universal Serial Bus) 30 ports behind the front panel Space for 280 mm radiators & pumps Space for CPU coolers up to 20 cm in height & graphics cards up to 33 cm in length Clean & sleek interior with exceptional manufacturing quality THE UNIQUE AESTHETIC OF A REFINED CASEThe moment you set eyes upon this sleek & timeless case it&s clear that Phanteks has stayed true to the roots of the Enthoo Evolv series Its measurements remain the same meaning that the Enthoo Evolv ITX with tempered-glass is just as wide (23 cm) deep (395 cm) & high (375 cm) as its popular predecessors The interior of the case like the right side of the case consists of painted black steel the removable front panel is made from plastic but comes adorned with a large powder-coated steel panel The large tempered-glass side panel on the left side makes this case somewhat unique At the bottom of the case towards the front is located a narrow light strip which when the system is switched on glows & can be controlled via the RGB button of the case or via RGB LED adapter cable from the motherboard Air-inlets for cooling have been integrated into the black surfaces so as to not impinge upon the minimalist aspirations of the case PLENTY OF SPACE FOR AIR- & WATERCOOLINGLocated towards the rear is a pre-installed 140 mm fan & two additional (optional) 140- or 120 mm fans can be installed behind the front panel The front of the case & the space beneath the PSU both come with removable dust filters Two further 140- or 120 mm fans can be installed in the roof of the Evolv Alternatively a 280 mm or 240 mm heat exchanger with a width of 54 mm (140 mm wide) or 74 mm (120 mm wide) can be installed to the motherboard tray (please check RAM module clearances!) via a bracket that pulls out sideways This should prevent radiators from colliding with installed RAM modules A 240 mm radiator can also be installed in the front Fortunately Phanteks has not elected to cut any of their famed water-cooling features originating from the larger siblings of the Enthoo series in this smaller Enthoo Evolv ITX To this end a multifunctional bracket with the " Phanteks" logo is located directly above the discrete HDD cage which offers compatibility with two 35" hard drives (or small SSDs) Although the case allows graphics cards up to 33 cm in length to be discretely tucked away the bracket allows several additional options One can either install the bundled universal tube reservoir bracket or you can install optionally available accessories like SSD mounting bays for 1 or 2 additional 25" drives (CA-010-PT or CA-011-PT) an HDD bracket (CA-023-PT) or even the Phanteks pump bracket (CA-008-PT) The reverse of the Mini-ITX tray where a spacious 28 mm area is reserved for cable management also saves space for the PWM fan hub (CA-009-PT) from Phanteks This allows the automatically regulated operation of up to eight 3-pin fans via a single 4-pin PWM port on an m ITX motherboard In the upper front of the case comes a factory-installed 25" bracket complete with a "drop-n-lock" mechanism for a small 25" drive The whole lower section of the Evolv ITX is reserved for an ATX power supply up to 212 cm in length as well as a double HDD cage in addition an optional Phanteks pump bracket allows users to attach the reservoir to the multifunctional bracket & use the additional pump bracket in the lower section of the front as long as the system only requires a single large & quiet SSD as a boot drive Technical Details Dimensions 230 x 375 x 395 mm (W x H x D) Weight approx 6kg Material Steel (body right side panel covering on front panel) plastic (front panel) tempered glass (left side panel) Colour Black Form-Factor Mini-ITXTotal Possible Fans 2x 140120 mm (Front)1x 140120 mm (Rear)2x 140120 mm (Roof) Pre-Installed Fans 1x 140 mm (Rear; PH-140SP max 1200 RPM 19 d B (A)) Radiator Mountings (partly dependent upon HDD- andor fan slots)1x max 240 mm (Front)1x max 140120 mm (Rear)1x max 280240 mm (Roof) Distance to motherboard tray in 120 mm format 54 mm Distance to motherboard tray in 140 mm format 74 mm Please check maximum height of RAM to prevent incompatibility!
