You combined two cases!. That's insane or dedication for you!
Looks fantastic and seems like airflow is top notch.
Very tempting.

Yup, thought sod it lol. I had the black one already, so I stripped that down first to see how easy it was, then got the white one.

Would have likeed to have swapped out the mobo tray also, but that's riveted in place.

It was a simple process to do, and I love the look of it.

Love mine,

Bought both a white and black to create a franken case lol.

The black with silver looks crap, so my son is having it

That is a really nice build, love the black and white combination!

P.S Did you win on the scratchcards?

Looking at swapping out my NZXT H9 for one of these, does anyone know what the cooling is like? I know it's likely to be worse than my H9 but I'm happy to lose some cooling for a improved looks.

Be aware of AIO compatibility, for what I heard, too. The new Lancool 4 should look great, not sure when it will be available.
Personally looking for the Hyte X50. The almost all metal construction is appealing.

The Lancool 4 looks awful to me personally. The fans mounted in the glass just doesn't do it for me. Also not really keen on that Hyte X50 either.

Im fairly sure my EK AIO would fit in the Evolv X2 fine.

I reckon this will be my next case too when I build a new system later this year. Currently got a Phanteks Enthoo Evolv mATX and have really liked it, only downside has been that airflow isn't great.

That's my only worry, I know it's not the best case in the world for airflow but want to know just how not good it is.

I'd assume with a 360mm AIO and the three bottom fans it'll cool a 7600X and 9070XT ok but I'm not sure.

Interesting case and Phanteks high quality appears to be still present.

Phanteks case segmentation is somewhat confusing.
You now have the Enthoo and Evolv X lines, but neither are a continuation of the Enthoo Evolv/Evolv X line of cases which were some of the coolest and very well built cases of the time.

My only really criticism of the Enthoo Evolv X is the all the extra space at the top for the second mITX pc that I doubt many ever used, making the case a fair bit bigger than it needed to be.
