The EVOLV ATX was the worst case that I've bought. The temperatures with the front panel on are horrible, my gpu and cpu temps dropped by 8-10 degrees when I removed it, now I havent had it on for past 6months, so temps are fine but case looks ugly now. From now on I'll avoid "solid front" panel design on all cases

Yes, I know that original EVOLV had issues with the airflow. I had some worries about it before doing the review of X. But in final result - it was fine 🙂 As for the "solid front" cases, it's a trend now for almost all of the manufacturers...

I bought and then returned the case. I was going to build in it but then I come to realize I still like my NZXT Phantom 820 with a cool custom full window mod, built in lighting-controller, RGB fans just about everywhere-top bottom-front-back and an integrated fan controller, still current somewhat with USB 2.0-3.0 ports.

I have the non x one and i can't say i have bad temps, i mean not that bad as to complain. Cpu doesn't reach 70 with a 4.8 ghz oc, only gpu gpu reaches 75 max, but its also overclocked. Cpu is on a custom loop and dellided with liquid metal, but even when i had a nh15 it would still be reasonable temp wise, max 82 if i remember correctly on a 4.7 ghz oc. I can see it being problematic on all air cooling though. Love phanteks cases but my next case i want to be at least full tower, unfortunately the elite is too expensive for me.

I wish they'd offer this case $15 cheaper without RGB. I was really enjoying the review until i got to page 9 and i had that reaction when you get a whiff of a skunk... and threw up in my mouth just a little. I can't wait till this fad comes to an end.

I wouldn't count on it, that's the trend with RGB and probably won't change ever... But in fact, you can disable the lights, right?

Apparently this case raises all performance in games by at least 15%.
You can always buy 30 USD chassis and get a better cpu/gpu. It's good to have a choice, nobody is forcing to buy the more expensive one, correct?
