Phanteks showed off its Enthoo EVOLV line of cubical micro-ATX cases. Available in black and white, the cases let you build high-end micro-ATX gaming builds, complete with liquid cooling. They offer a high degree of cable management potential. The Enthoo EVOLV starts out as a 2-compartment chassis, except that the top one, which in cubical cases, features motherboard tray typically flat on the bottom (along the plane of the bottom); actually has a tower-like perpendicular motherboard tray. This tray has a massive 'crawl space' behind it, letting you tame not just your cable spaghetti, but also coolant tubing. There are no 5.25-inch drive bays, but two 3.5-inch internal trays, and two additional 2.5-inch ones behind the motherboard tray. Cooling system includes a massive 200 mm front intake, and a 120 mm rear exhaust.

Impressed by Phanteks. they have taken right direction when it comes to developing cases for water cooling enthusiasts. I would like to see some build photos of this mATX case just to see the capabilities it offers.

Disappointingly it appears to be negative pressure. Going by the video it looks like you can do two 140mm fans up front.

Second picture, rear of the case above the fan, is a 5.25" slot.

The item is to be corrected. Is written "There are no 5.25-inch drive bays" but in the picture it would seem not. Thank's

Did you bother to read comments or look at images/video

The article has errors and not fixed.
There is a 5.25" bay, it is in the rear. Also the rear fan is 140mm, not 120mm.

Sorry. I could not watch the video because youtube is blocked where I work. You're right. In fact it is present a possible removable ODD bracket. Thank you. Bye
