Phanteks Evolv X2 Black

A nice case but if you're going to run the best tech inside it, expect high temperatures and lots of noise. I have 6 fans, liquid cooling/radiator on CPU and to keep down to around 86 degrees I need to remove a side panel, which actualy reduces noise as the fans don't have to work as hard (but not ideal for dust, accidental damage and aesthetics etc). I am very pleased with the look and feel and the build was easy with plenty of cable management options. It has the wow factor and is fine for everyday work and light gaming but start to run any graphics demanding game (Cyberpunk, Arc Raiders, Borderlands 4) and it becomes rather warm and rather noisy.

The top bracket is unnecessary and inconvenient especially when using an AIO the room for cable management is non existent. There are no pre installed fans for your above average price point the only good thing about the case is the design but honestly not really worth it

I’ve owned a lot of cases from big-name and small-name case makers alike. This is the best case yet! I don’t install a lot of lighting in my builds, so this case is excellent as the windows on 3 sides lets a lot of external light in. Best cable management I have seen yet with ample, well laid out ties and plenty of space for cables. The chimney-effect cooling layout is superior. Build quality and component sturdiness are top notch. Only criticism is the radiator space on top should be about 1cm deeper to allow thicker radiators. My Arctic Liquid Freezer III does not fit. I will be 3D printing spacers to accommodate.
