Flip a coin. You'll decide as it's in the air, or if you're disappointed with the outcome of the flip.

Come Bloody Angel

Break off your chains

And look what I've found in the dirt.

 

Pale battered body

Seems she was struggling

Something is wrong with this world.

 

Fierce Bloody Angel

The blood is on your hands

Why did you come to this world?

 

Everybody turns to dust.

 

Everybody turns to dust.

 

The blood is on your hands.

 

The blood is on your hands!

 

Pyo.

Phanteks needs more love. They're way more consistent but so much less popular. :/

I always find "Case 1 v Case 2" to be a user subjective thing, other people can't really help you decide on that one.

 

IMO though the phanteks evolve looks sexy as hell.

Which one has better airflow because thats another concern after watching J2C and him saying stuff about airflow with certain newer cases

Tomshardware mentioned in a review that the Evolv is actually too small to fit EATX.

 

I would go with the Phanteks Evolv, from the reviews I've read it's got good airflow and it looks great.

I think corsair products have dipped in quality so i choose phanteks

Mention me if you want to summon me sooner or later

My head on 2019 :

Note 10, S10, Samsung becomes Apple, Zen 2, 3700X, Renegade X lol

Yeah, from the Tom's Hardware review:

 

Quote

Phanteks leans pretty hard on the Enthoo name for case branding, and the Evolv name invokes a style that the company has spread across the spectrum from Mini ITX to full ATX. Phanteks even lists EATX capability for its Evolv ATX, though actual motherboard depth is limited to 10.4". The case would need another 0.3" to make it fit the plethora of 10.6" to 10.7" extreme-enthusiast motherboards that have been misnamed EATX by their manufacturers

Full Review

 

Unless you plan on going 3 way SLI or something in the future I wouldn't worry about it.

I love my Evolv. I got it a few weeks before the TG version but was able to buy the window kit for $60. Airflow isn't the best I've seen in a case but it works. Idle on water about 31C

I had the 360 rad on top and front at one time. Fits nicely. The case can even fit the fat radiators from EK. I have something odd going on with my cooling. Max gpu temp I get at 100% load is 55C but my Cpu has been peaking at 75 for some reason. 

 

I'm likely going to switch to the new CoolerMaster HAF case this September.
