Phanteks Enthoo Evolv ITX Mini-ITX housing - Black / Red Window

It therefore followed the favorable Enthoo offshoot called Luxe and Pro in mid-tower format. By Enthoo Evolv Phanteks presented the first housing in a compact format before and was so many Small Form Factor fans the opportunity to finally known Phanteks-quality and unique aesthetics with the currently popular trend towards smaller systems based on micro ATX or Mini-ITX Motherboards match. The Phanteks Enthoo Evolv came to be as good in the community that Phanteks ado decided to bring out an even smaller offshoots that addressed exclusively to system builders with Mini-ITX board as its centerpiece: The Phanteks Enthoo Evolv ITX was born and is available in four versions, in which case the black and red variant is presented with side windows in the left panel.

As for the classic and timeless, yet sophisticated design, is at first glance clear that the Enthoo Evolv has stood for the Evolv ITX Pate, the dimensions were only changed minimally, so that Enthoo Evolv ITX although as wide (23 cm) and almost as deep (39.5 cm) as the great, little brother goes down, but due to the invalid compatibility for Micro-ATX form factor 75 mm less high (37.5 cm). The body inside is as well as the side panels in black painted steel, which glisten in this copy motherboard tray, intermediate plate, the drive cage and power supply cover through the viewing window in the side part in high-contrast red. The detachable front panel is made of plastic, but carries a big powder-coated decorative plate made of steel. Below sits a narrow strip of light, which glows red when switched on. Air intakes for cooling have been discreetly integrated into the black areas, so as not to disturb the minimalist look.

It is waiting behind the front panel, a factory installed 200-mm fan on the use and on the rear is an additional optional 140s or 120s mountable. Front and PSU slot in the base are equipped with removable dust filters. Further fans in 140 or 120 mm can come under the cover of Evolv. Alternatively, also a 280-mm or 240-mm heat exchanger with 54 mm (140s-width) and 74 mm (120-width) are fitted space for motherboard tray (please RAM height!), Which can be installed on a side pull-out bracket. This can lead to no clashes with the inserted RAM modules when installing a Radis. In waiving the 200-fan in the front there is a 240-radiator is also possible.

Fortunately waived Phanteks not even the small Enthoo Evolv ITX on the known watercooling features of large Enthoo spending. So is located directly above the hidden HDD cage for two 3.5-inch hard drives (or small SSDs) with a multifunctional bracket Phanteks lettering. While up long to 33cm graphics cards possibly disappear behind, on top of the bracket several options are possible: Either you attached here the supplied universal Tube Reservoir holder or placing here of optional accessories such as SSD mounting frame for 1 or 2 additional 2.5-inch drives (GEPH-009 or GEPH-010), an HDD bracket (GEPH-018) or the Phanteks-pump bracket (GEPH-008).

On the back of the Mini-ITX trays where stately 28 mm space for ordinary cable laying invite is also space for the available PWM fan hub (LULs-239) of Phanteks that the automatically controlled operation of up to eight 3- allows pin fans via a single 4-pin PWM connector of mITX motherboards. Front up a 2.5-inch bracket with Drop-n-Lock mechanism for a small 2.5-inch Drive already exists at the factory. The entire lower part of Evolv ITX is an up to 21.2 cm long ATX power supply as well as the double-HDD Cage reserved. The can, incidentally, soft also the optional pump bracket (GEPH-008), the customer can thus at the same time the enclosed Terms of attachment on the multifunction bracket and the additional pump bracket in front soil use, provided that it only a single silent SSD with a correspondingly high capacity required as a system drive.
