The
Phanteks Enthoo Evolv ATX Midi-Tower in the
Flow Edition is a technically upgraded version of the
Enthoo Evolv ATX with
tempered glass which is
exclusively available at Overclockers UK. The honeycomb pattern of the
top and front panels have supplementary air intakes which makes this case unique. These additions optimise this very popular case series by Phanteks even further. The
Flow Edition still has the same stylish side panels made of tempered glass which allow an unhindered view into its interior from both sides of the case. The
PWM fan hub and the
three pre-installed 140 mm fans, as well as the dust filters for the front and the PSU cover are also included. There is room for more fans or radiators that can be up to 360 mm long. The case fits motherboards up to the
form factor E-ATX,
five 3.5" and four 2.5" drives. Two of the 3.5" drives can be substituted with smaller 2.5" SSDs.

- Includes a PWM fan hub, three 140 mm fans, and two dust filters
- Hidden I/O panel with two USB 3.0 ports and HD audio connectors
- Room for five 3.5" and four 2.5" drives, two 3.5" drives can be substituted with 2.5" drives

Timelessly Elegant Design & Large Glass Side Panels
The body of the case is made of gun metal lacquered steel. The detachable front panel and the top consist of
3 mm thick gun metal anodised aluminium with small inlets in a honeycomb pattern to improve the airflow. The left and the right side panels are made of huge sheets of
tinted tempered glass that are attached to the case by four screws. The glass panels open the view to the interior and the installed hardware.
Phanteks has placed a
thin strip of lights at the bottom of the front panel that are illuminated when the computer is turned on. Its colour can be changed by replacing the LEDs by other ones included with the case. Supplementary air intakes have been placed between the top an front aluminium panels as well as in the panels themselves. The minimalist I/O panel is hidden under a lid in the front panel. It provides
two USB 3.0 ports and HD audio connectors.
Cooling & Drive Bays
Behind the front panel
two pre-installed 140 mm fans and a third 140 mm fan at the rear of the case provide the cooling airflow through the case. There is room for two more 140 mm fans in the top of the case. Alternatively the two 140 mm fans in the front and the top can be substituted by three 120 mm fans. As far as radiator mountings go, they can be mounted in the front or top instead of the fans. There is a special bracket for radiators at the top that can be removed to ease assembly. The fan at the rear can be substituted by a radiator as well. Overall the case provides abundant cooling possibilities, rounded off by
removable dust filters in the front panel and the PSU shroud.
The PSU is mounted at the bottom of the case and hidden from view by a gun metal cover which holds two brackets for 2.5" or 3.5" drives. Phanteks includes an
anti-vibration pump mount which can be attached there instead. The PSU shroud gives the rest of the interior an tidy look. Part of the shroud can be detached to make room for a reservoir or a big radiator at the front of the case. Three trays for mounting hard drives or SSDs are also included. They can be placed near the front panel and mounted to the motherboard tray with screws. Two more drives can be placed here with the help of two more trays which need to be acquired separately.
Plenty of Room for Cables
The gap between the rear of the motherboard tray is
35 mm wide, leaving plenty of room for cables. Phanteks has placed the
PWM hub here that can be used to control up to eight 3-pin fans over just one 4 pin PWM connection. There is also room for three more 2.5" drives, two of which can be attached by brackets with a
"Drop-n-Lock" mechanism, while a third can be mounted on the side of the PSU shroud.
