I have been reading that the internal construction is rather thin and flimsy steel, anyone confirm this.
I still cannot decide on what I want in a case, two SSD, two HDD, possible optic, two GPU, a 280mm AIO, and future water cooling with two 240/280 rads.
But it has to be mico ATX compatable and air cool my current GPU's, two MSI Twin Frozr 7950. With a window that does not get scratched when I pass wind.

To be honest, it's no worse than any other case I've had. With all the exterior panels off there is a degree of flex to the steel when you push on it but I wouldn't call it flimsy.
Mounting an optical drive will restrict your cooling option in the top of the case though.

I wouldn't recommend crossfire in a matx case unless you have reference coolers, it's gonna get too hot in there!!
The problem with non reference cards and mATX is the top card is starved of air because you can not space the cards out.
The evolv has enough airflow to support non ref cards, its the mATX spacing that cripples it. Water cooled has no issues.
I'll post a pic tonight, I just finished a WC build in one of these and its a very good case to work with.
ps I kept the 200mm in the front and added a 120mm above it too. Some overlap but works fine as they are at different depths.

Cheers!
I saw that EK have 180mm radiator, did you use one of these for the loop? A 200mm would be mint!
ooo....nice idea! I've got a 240m with some fittings but no gotten round to fitting any WC gear yet.
What are the temps like?
About 50 on my GPU and about 65 on my cpu after a couple of hours of gaming, not great but good enough. That's with my CPU @ 4.5 too.
That's the way the case is set up, i.e. push in air from the from the front and take it out the back and top. You could add a 240 on the front too, but you are just pushing warm air in the case then.
