Any Phantek EVOLV ATX owners out there?

Go to solution Solved by Acquire,

According to my measurements it's approximately 12.75 inches. I'd go 12.5 inches to be safe.

Good Day,

 

I'm in the process of building a new PC and through my search of components, I'm torn between cases.

The EVOLV seems like a solid fit for my needs but the deal breaker for me is whether or not I will be able to fit my pump and res inside the case.

 

I was wondering if anyone out there with an EVOLV ATX could lend a fellow modder a hand and provide a measurement for the area shown below:

Any help would be greatly appreciated. :D

The Define S seems to be better for watercooling :)

You are correct.

However, I'm not fond of the modular top panel which has no real filter for my fans/rad.

I also like the EVOLVs PSU cover and "basement" area, which can house a pump and my HDDs, but also how it has some functionality like providing a mount for the pump and vent holes for the PSU.

As far as the window is concerned, I think the EVOLVS window is just perfect, which only displays the "bling" on the case.

Not to mention the plentifull amount of space for cable management.

Thrive on change. Embrace volatility.

Been using the EVOLV ATX for the last two weeks... I love it!

 

The distance between radiator-slide and bottom of the main compartment is roughly 32.7 cm +/- 1mm

AWESOME!!!

You guys are life savers! This is just the information I need.

 

It looks like my Res/Pump can barely make it in, but it seems like I'll need to get a slimmer radiator to accomodate (which I have no problem in doing.)
