Best PC case on the market?

The reviewer returns to a personal rig update and selects the Phanteks Enthoo Evolv ATX TG as a case that matches a desire for a clean, angular aesthetic with tempered glass panels and high build quality. The video begins by outlining the design goals: an ATX motherboard fit, plenty of expansion slots, and a look that is clean yet visually striking, with tempered glass that the reviewer wants to showcase. The front façade is described as angular with an LED bar and an RGB color-changing button that cycles through ten colors, while the top features a power button and a vented, shaped design. The reviewer notes that the front panel is removable, and that access to a fan and radiators is possible, but with caveats about how radiator placement affects motherboard visibility and drive mounting options. A critical portion of the discussion focuses on the front I/O, where two USB 3.0 ports, a headphone jack, and a mic jack are provided, but the reviewer would prefer additional ports, including USB Type-C, to modernize the upfront interface. The tempered glass mounting system is praised for its protective foam buffers and thoughtful contact point design, though the reviewer laments that the new tempered-glass approach diverges from the screwless, swivel mounting used on non-tempered versions, impacting ease of service. Throughout the build exploration, the reviewer emphasizes the case’s premium titanium-like coating, the ease of handling during the assembly process, and the overall visual appeal when the system is powered on. He also notes practical constraints, such as the need to sacrifice some modular drive bays if top radiator configurations are chosen, and the desire for covers on exposed cable-management areas to improve aesthetics. The video ends with a balanced verdict: the Evolv ATX TG is aesthetically stunning and has a solid, well-thought-out build experience, but it requires careful cable management and acceptance of some design trade-offs, which the reviewer accepts as part of a premium build experience. The reviewer expresses intent to use the case for his own personal rig and hints at forthcoming internal updates to complete the build, inviting viewers to follow along for future milestones and a potential mineral oil rig update as a separate project.
