Ive had m-itx for quite a few years now and fancy moving back to m-atx on my next socket upgrade.

After watching linus review the Evolv I thought it was perfect. I dont want any drives visible in the front and I only run a single SSD so is there any reasons im missing on why I should look elsewhere?

Other case that caught my eye is the corsair 240 cube but looks think the Phantek looks better built.
 
Yea bad review but didnt know about it till then as hes the only reviewer I really watch. Since then watched more in depth ones.

Any pics of the gunmetal?

I have a prodigy and it seems not much bigger hight and depth and narrower in the width.

Edit. Went with the white. Thanks.

I think the case surprised him with how good it was so yea was a shame it was used for the old school review. Ive seen the gun metal version now and still personally prefer the white.

Ive had a break for a few years from watercooling but im thinking of having another go at it.

Only thing im unsure about is space for rads. Do you know if a 280mm rad will fit in both the front and roof at the same time or is it 1x 280mm and 1x 240mm?
 
That's what I can see being the biggest headache. I would like to have the res kinda on show so as you say maybe mount it to the front rad. Do you know if there is any restrictions on thickness of rad in the roof? Would a thicker style rad with fans fit without contact with the top of the motherboard?

Edit just read site. 68mm room in roof.

Its hard to say without having the case in front of me how it would work but there are brackets like these that attach to fans to allow mounting of pumps and res's.

The 68mm in roof was total space so radiator and fans. Looks like max rad thickness is 40mm if you want to use fans so the thinner style rads seem only option.

What are you planning to cool in your loop?

Colour scheme I haven't really thought too much into it but I really like the hard clear tubing with the mayhems fluid that reflects with light. Tbh I will probably everything nickel or white. Im waiting for Intels skylake before changing my itx board to matx so I dont want to pick a colour that might clash with a new motherboard.
 
Just looked through his builds. Very nice builds and photography. Do you now what thickness of rad is ok for the front?

I guess it will ultimately effect video card length.
