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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The most beautiful case

Appearance: one of the most beautiful cases: tempered glass door, brushed aluminum case, RGB lighting, hidden fan vents, everything screams "premium case". There's a good reason for that: it's a high-end PC enthusiast case. It also comes at a premium price. Build Quality: Everything is reliable. There are simply no untreated surfaces, neither outside nor inside. Everything is smooth, polished, polished. The case, despite being mATX, is quite heavy due to the metal and glass construction. I have built PCs from multiple brands on many occasions and this is by far the highest quality. Ease of use: Pretty roomy inside for a mATX form factor, so it wasn't too bad. The cable management hooks and attachment points were well placed and I was able to hide almost everything. All cable routing points near the motherboard have good grommets to prevent fraying/damaging the cables. The PSU basement is also a nice feature as everything is neatly hidden. I found it pretty good for embedding. Cost: Well, it's not cheap. It's premium and you're definitely paying for it. I wouldn't call it worth it. I probably wouldn't recommend this case for most users as most people just want something to hold the inside of their setup. impress It's a really well built, easy to assemble, beautiful body.
