Phanteks(PH-ES217A_BK02) Evolv Shift 2 Air Mini-ITX case, Fabric Side Panels, Aluminum Panels, D-RGB, Black

Aunque es un gabinete más alto de lo que buscaba, esto ayudo a acomodar todos los componentes aún cuando la tarjeta de video es una de alta gama y muy grande. Recomiendo al 100%.

Love the look and the build quality. The front and back aluminum panels are very thick and solid. The fit of components on the inside was a big challenge because there just isn’t enough room (especially for cable management). My advice is google all dimensions of your gpu and your cpu cooler etc before buying and make sure they will fit. (pcpartspicker might help) The PCIE GPU extension cable they provide ONLY RUNS AT PCIE 3.0 !!! If you connect an RTX card all you’re gonna get is a black screen. You need to go to BIOS and manually switch the PCIE from auto to PCIE 3.0. So I would not recommend this case for gaming unless you’re content running your gpu on a slower connection. Also there aren’t that many options for cooling, there are only three 120/140 slots for fans, one of which might be used for a CPU AIO cooler but that’s it. I would give it a 5/10 overall but 10/10 for looks.

pros: great cable management, great space for 2 slot gpus, amazing build quality, click-in topcons: top space for fans does not have much space for wide fans, a little difficult to place fans in, but it works.I could go on and on about how much GPU space this has or how nice the materials are, how cool RGB looks in it when powered on, and how good the cable management and concealing is on this case. but you've probably seen other reviews, so I'll tell you my experience with it to aide in pushing you to buy this awesome case. I got this to build a computer for a friend who wanted a pc to fit in a relatively small place, horizontally speaking. Built a rig with a 5700G, gtx 1080 rog strix, 16 gb ddr4, an nvme and 4x 2.5 inch drives (yeah it can do that if you buy a second double drive bracket). It was not only easy to manage my cables, but they include this cable concealing metal plate that's magnetic and has phanteks pressed on it, really nice. overall I'd rate this case a 9/10.

Diseño brutal, pero muy dificil de montar un PC con muchos c omponentes (incluso en determinados casos, imposible).Está pensado para PC + Tarjeta grafica, ninguna tarjeta adicional.De diseño me recuerda mucho a la XBOX series X, que está muy chulo, pero no me sirvió.

Having worked from home since March 2020 due to COVID I got a standing desk and changed my office space around. I was using a PC built with a Corsair Carbide 270R, not the biggest case but still takes up a fair bit of room. Now with a standing desk space was reduce a bit and it was just a pain having it there under my feet and nowhere else for it to go.So I read about the Phanteks Evolv Shift 2 Air and its very small form factor, mesh sides and apparently good cooling I decided to give it a go. The plan was to put it on a small unit next to my new desk. Many of the components I moved from the old system. All I purchased was the Cooler, Motherboard and PSU.Overall I was pleasantly surprised at just how easy it was to build with this case. Phanteks provide a clear, illustrated manual giving you the build order. You could do it differently but access would then be an issue and you will just be screaming at it.I decided not to go with an AIO 120mm cooler, with mesh sides I just felt it would work fine with a fairly standard fan.Overall I am pretty impressed with it. I would not purchase the case with glass sides, heat build-up would be too much in such a small enclosure. Under to pop up top cover, there is plenty of room to plug all your cables in without any issues.With the GPU blowing straight out through the mesh on one side, the CPU blowing straight through the mesh on the other side it is a good setup, with far less reliance on case fans having to remove all the circulating hot air.There is room for a 120 or 140mm case fan on the bottom pulling and two 120 or 140mm fans on the rear pushing.On idle I am seeing the CPU at 40-47C and the GPU around 42C. Pretty reasonable. Under load, the CPU hits 70C max and the GPU is never higher than 70-75C. At idle the GPU fans are never on, they were often running in the old case even idling.It would probably have been better to go with a 120mm AIO for CPU cooling, I may change it at some point.Overall, a very nice case with a small footprint and good cooling. A really nice set-up if you are looking as I was to minimise the overall space taken up and increase the options on where it could be placed.
