Because the market simply doesn't support spending $150+ on a computer case is why.

Yeah, yeah I guess.

I do tho.

Spent 220$ on my computer case

Yeah, you are in a very small market segment. Small market segments = not much money.  Thats why Corsairs cases are so popular and successfull, they cater to mainstream, lower cost products for the budget oriented masses.

 

 

Speaking of which, has Mark been found dead or burnt down Frozencpu yet?

Just the ITX one is steel/plastic to make some low price point since they assume all ITX builders want cheap $70 cases. The ATX version of the enthoo evolv should be aluminum but I don't know when it's coming out.

 

Yah, the Enthoo EVOLV ITX version is plastic and steel. Just got mine few days ago and decided to paint it... :D

I think you meant mATX. There are no miniITX X99 motherboards.

EVGA makes a mini itx x99 mobo.

Spwath votes ft05, but he is a Silverstone fan.

I don't like how some of the new evolv's are plastic/steel and not aluminum.

Yeah, I'm still leaning towards the FT05. Windowless and silver. Hey spwath, I don't have any stores by me that have the 05 on display, can you tell me if the side panels are also aluminum, or just the front? Can't seem to find a good answer online.

JJJust confirmed, they are steel, as magnets stick to them.

 

 

For any more questions, you can ask me,

or silverstone, as i found their customer service promt, and informative (other than when they told me their dac "could drive any headphones")

You might know, can you mount fans above the top bracket or not? It looks like you cant so the fans have to push air through a radiator (AIO cooler) instead of a pull config.

 

Il be buying this case when its released, though I might pre-order it, any idea on the release date or when there will be some in stock (UK) ?

I would love the ATX case in black but at $180 it's too damn expensive. Buy one for me LOL. I just can't quite bond with the micro-ATX version even though it's my favorite form factor. I'm on the fence with that one. I kinda dig it in gray but $130 is a lot too. If it had the same design styling and internal layout of the mini-ITX version scaled up then I would have fallen in love with it even at that price. I dooooo love the sexy mini-ITX one though. I'm planning on getting it in black to build my Z97 system in it. She will become my Midnight Mistress! I just have to make sure the GTX 980 Ti that I select is only 2 slots wide or else I will have to do the gray micro-ATX one regardless. Anyway that's how I feel about the Enthoo Evolv trio line-up.

I'm not to sure either however it doesn't look like it would have enough room. 

Pre-order ETA: on overclockersuk is 06/07/15, link can be found below
