What we do know is that Phanteks sent over the MSRP along with other literature to be sure we had all of the information at out fingertips. Phanteks has been good in the past for making certain their cases are ready to go when they release to the public. We are uncertain of what sort of availability will be out in the wild by the time you read this, but we would assume that stick should be available soon after the release. The last things we see are that this chassis can be searched by the PH-ES314ETG model number to ensure you find the right chassis and that when empty, this case weighs in at nearly twenty pounds. As for the PSU, with the HDD cage inside of the chassis, space is limited to 216mm including the cables, but you can remove the HDD cage to gain room for longer PSUs, as well as then to use the extra space for a reservoir and pump using the multi-functional plate included in the hardware. CPU coolers can be 192mm tall, which encompasses most options on the market. With just fans placed in the front of the chassis, the video cards can be up to 319mm in length, but as you add water cooling to the front of the chassis, this number decreases. Phanteks also lists the restrictions found in this chassis. The top of the chassis will take on a 240mm or 280mm radiator, and the back of the case is left to single 120mm or 140mm radiator options. The front of the chassis can house up to a 360mm radiator or a 280mm radiator. Water cooling is also entirely possible inside of this case. The rear of the chassis comes with a 140mm fan in place, but it can also accept a 120mm fan as well. However, the Evolv MATX offers room for three 120mm or two 140mm fans on the front, while the top loses room for the third 120mm fan, but can house a pair of either 120mm or 140mm fans. Cooling is handled by a pair of premium 140mm fans, one in the front, shifted down to the bottom of the bezel, and another at the back. Inside of the Evolv MATX, there are four expansion slots at the back of the case, a drive cage which holds a pair of 3.5" HDDs, and a pair of trays which can hold only 2.5" drives. Much of the layout has stayed the same inside and out, but we can tell you that this is a chassis which adheres to the latest trends in case design, yet Phanteks is still able to outdo themselves, bringing forth a new angle of attack with the Evolve MATX. The I/O panel has been moved, and this time was hidden, Phanteks added RGB control and an option to add RGB LED strips. While Phanteks is still using thick aluminum covers on the outside of this chassis, they opted to move to tempered glass sides this time around. Aesthetically it may appear much like the Enthoo Evolv Micro-Tower chassis, but it does not take long to start to see what has gone on in the last couple of years. Phanteks has sent along the Evolv MATX Chassis. Some obvious, some not so much so, but what we do know, is that this new chassis is well worth the time it takes to check it out. While this may be another highly stylized Evolv chassis, Phanteks has done a lot to change what we were used to seeing in this series. However, there is no mistaking the bloodline, and since smaller more compact cases are all the rage right now, it is a perfect time to refresh what were already superior designs.

Notice we left out the Enthoo Series name this time because nowhere on the packaging or literature is Enthoo ever mentioned. We mention all of the above cases for good reason, is it is the Evolve cases that have us back again.
