Do we know how many units you will be getting in? Went and looked on the phanteks shop website and they have sold out of all 3 case colours. I have been wanting to build a first time PC and I'm confident on buying this case, always looked at full tower cases eg: view 71 always been a fan but when computex announced this I had to look at reviews before I decided and have to have this case, people will look at the price and go WTF!! But this case is Defo worth the price, storage space is amazing gives me so much to think of what to do inside of this case

The usa by the looks of it sold out within hours of the pre order when it whent up from what I've read.
The main things I look in a case is good fan filters, cable management and build quality this case ticked all the box's.

Nowhere near enough, first batch is 80% sold. I'd order soon if you want one from the first stock.

For the Vertical GPU bracket, it says:

Chassis support: Chassis with open PCI slot design, 7 expansion slots

There can't be many cases that meet this requirement? :confused:

Modding is required I expect

That's what I was looking for clone, as I said was looking at the view 71 but this evolv X ticked all my boxes cable management covers to hide those nasty cables, massive amount of space for storage, basically this has the features of a full tower case which I love, would love to see this case as a full tower case, maybe have to post in forums and see what people think

Don't really see the appeal in this case, air intake looks quite restricted to me compared to other cases. :confused:

clone · 6 Sep 2018 at 21:56

You seen the gap on the front intake,plenty of air to get in.

Joshua Richardson · 7 Sep 2018 at 01:30

It's a 10x better version than the enthoo evolv, air flow much better

And you can install 3 140mm fans in front, should be plenty of air intake.

clone · 7 Sep 2018 at 12:15

I will be installing 2x140 mm in the front as the bottom one will not be needed as I'll be taking out the hard drive caddy .

Has the current pre-orders taken all the stock? .. if so what sort of time frame for the next stock arrival?

Joshua Richardson · 7 Sep 2018 at 21:10

You can have 2 140mm fans or 3 120mm fans as the front holds a 360mm radiator, you could mount a AIO on the top and have room to install your hard drive cages plus have the 3 120 or 2 140

I've had a fun afternoon. Email came in from our haulier explaining the container didn't arrive at port on the 10th as expected, but has only discharged this morning. (https://www.track-trace.com/container - YMLU8532024 if you want to check for yourselves) This meant that getting the container in for tomorrow is impossible due to the mandatory 24-36 hours needed to process customs. To add insult to injury, there's a considerable shortage of haulage vehicles out of Southampton port meaning the first available haulage was next Thursday, 20th September...

HERE COMES THE GOOD NEWS.

After some considerable searching by the haulier and complaining (by me

), we've managed to secure a slot for delivery of the container on Friday at around 1pm. This is by no means set in stone considering the two delays the container has already suffered, but lets hope third time lucky shall we? Unfortunately it does mean a Monday delivery for the majority of you, but it's considerably better than getting it on the 21st! I had to hassle our logistics manager too to get it in on Friday, so yeah, I've done as much as I can to minimise the delay.

@ChugNorris

Any idea on this mate?

ChugNorris · 12 Sep 2018 at 17:26

Still a little of each left from the first batch @Rensin

I asked to swap mine to grey from black and was told no stock, is it possible?

Possibly had a couple of cancellations so should be possible now.

MikeB · 12 Sep 2018 at 18:42

Cool, I'll drop a new note to CS

ChugNorris · 14 Sep 2018 at 14:38

PLEASE DON'T HATE ME.

The envitable has happened. TLDR, the container was moved off quay into the rail terminal at some point overnight, meaning it couldn't be collected for delivery this afternoon as planned. This is 100% our forwarders fault and has resulted in some very stern words and ultimately a business decision to look elsewhere for our future freight requirements. They have promised a delivery on Monday 17th at 10am, but honestly, I don't want to guarantee you that it'll be the case, because I have lost all trust in their ability to deliver on what they've promised. I am really sorry about this, and I'm completely gutted that people will not be getting their Evolv X as planned.

I am actually on holiday after today for two weeks, but I'll have a look on my emails before I fly on Monday to make sure the container has arrived and try and update you. If it's any consolation, the case is worth the wait, I can at least promise you that. Both Sam in sales and others are aware of the situation and will monitor it in my absence. If you've upgraded to Saturday delivery, you should be receiving an email to confirm we'll move you back to next day delivery to avoid any further delays. Hopefully they'll be a happy conclusion to this saga on Monday!
