Review on Phanteks PH-ES314ETG_GS EVOLV MATX Tempered Glass Edition Aluminum Exterior RGB LED Illumination Micro Tower Case Silver Galaxy Silver by Jose Cruz

Okay, first off, one problem with this case is that with glass on the sides and a front panel, it's not the best breathable case in the world. I put on two fans and upgraded the front fan to compensate. If something goes wrong I can hack the door, but I only did that during load testing. This is the only reason for 4 stars instead of 5. Ok, good thing. OK, that looks great. It's all aluminum and REALLY easy to work with. The doors come off easily after a while, I wish they had shifted the length of the hinges so you could attach one and then the other instead of both. The finishes are very nice inside and out. Putting the logo on the PSU cover is easy and discreet, a nice touch. Cable management is very easy, although velcro straps are quite cheap, I broke one. never mind There is a front light on the body that has its own RGB control, it would be nice if it could be integrated into the machine software. RGB (maybe a fun and pointless mod). I don't use my base RGB in unicorn barf mode, so I just set the color to match the current scheme. Under the front panel are a pair of USB 3 and audio connectors. There is no reset button. Interesting. Under the lid is a drive activity LED that blinks with a seizure-inducing brightness. It is also an RGB control button. I would flash the front RGB LED when there is activity (also a possible mod). If the disc light wasn't closed I would have to close it or turn it off, it's REALLY annoying. My only criticism of the design is that the front of the PSU is a bit cramped and you have to take the PSU out if you want to do anything. like a SATA cable, since this doesn't happen often, it's fine. It would be nice if they had a power adapter mount on the back. Overall good construction and design, only issues. The only problem with cable routing is directly behind the power supply. Disturbing flashing light. Not the best airflow.
