Please vote above. I’m looking for a case that is aesthetically pleasing but still has good functionality for my build. Here are the specs of the system I will put in it:

 

i7 8700k

NZXT Kraken X62

ASUS ROG Strix z370-e atx 

ASUS STRIX 1080ti OC edition

G.Skill Trident Z RGB 16GB

EVGA B1 750 watt

NZXT Hue+

Samsung 850 evo 1tb ssd 

 

HERE ARE THE CASES:

The case you listed isn't an "Enthoo TG" - Enthoo is a lineup of cases, not one. That case is the Evolv ATX Glass.

The evolv atx glass is fantastic, I used it in my latest build. The only issues I had was that radiator clearance isn't the best - if your using triple intake fans or a 280mm radiator, you can't use the hard drive cages. If you put a radiator at the top, it covers quite a lot of the motherboard up. Other then that, it's great.


H700i sucks. It's pretty much just an S340 elite with a pointless "machine learning" fan controller that seems to always die on arrival, like everything else NZXT sells. It's overpriced and mediocre.

Meshiify C is okay. Not really much to say because it's nothing special.

I'd go for evolv atx glass.

Don't come to the Cases and PSU forum with the EVGA 700B. :P There are many better options, and that wattage is unnecessary for those specs.

The Evolv has pretty bad airflow.

All the cases are fine. Given their pricing, I would take the Meshify C or Evolv.

I would go for Fractal Meshify C because the inside is really spacious as Hardware Canucks Reviewed it

-Frequencies DON'T represent everything and in many cases that is true (referring to Individual CPU Clocks).

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

The Evolv's airflow is a joke. Get the Meshify for sure and safe yourself over $100.

My account is almost entirely dormant. Hope you all are having a grand time. Many years of fun were had here.

Evolv TG is a beautiful case but the airflow is awful. Like he said above, get the Meshify
