All right, guys. Welcome to the Fantex suite where we're checking out the Enthu
Evolve ATX in anthraite gray. Anthroyes
apparently some coal thing. Anyways, thanks to MSI for bringing us here this
year. If you want to see all the stuff they're releasing at Computex, check their Bitly link in the description down
below. Also, thank you to linda.com. Starting at the front of the case, you
have an extremely industrialized look. And behind this little panel, which on
the release unit will actually stick up there. It's just this is a
pre-production model, so it is a little bit floppy. You have dual USB 3.0 0
microphone, headphone, and a reset button, which is ringed in an LED that
shows hard drive activity. And down in the lower part of the panel, you have a
just solid white LED. The power button is actually up on the top, which is
removable, but is screwed in by standard. It It doesn't just pop off
like again some of their previous models. But if you want to get into the
top in a different way, if you just open the side panel, you can then remove two
screws on the main compartment side panel and three screws on the back. And
then you can actually just slide out where you would mount those fans and radiator. If you noticed, the door isn't
actually screwed on. So, it just has some kind of pressure clamps near the
front which hold it in which you pop out or pop in, respectively. And then the
hinges on the back can either be unscrewed or you can just lift the door
up off the hinges if you do want to remove it out of the way. Although I
expect most of you guys will just open the door because that's quite easy. For
the radiator in the front, you can have fans on the on the more forward side of
the grill and that they will stay out of the way. You can actually raise or lower those depending on what compartment you
want to cool, but I'll get to that in a moment. If you want a bigger radiator,
you can take this plate out. Now, this plate you can normally install a pump.
They have they have cutouts for installing a pump there. But if you want a taller radiator, you can install the
radiator there. Take the plate out and then install the pump down in the lower
compartment, which is probably what I'd want to do anyways. Uh the as you can
see, there's a bunch of Fantex plates just to the kind of left of where those
fans are. And that is where you would actually install additional hard drives.
There's two standard hard drive mounts for 3 and 1/2 in drives in the bottom,
but you can install up to three more because of the sleds that you have by
default or up to 1 2 3 4 five more if
you want to buy additional sleds. Now, back to that basement cover. You have an
SSD drive kind of holding spot if you want to show it off through the window
on the front right hand side. And there's a cable management hole done for
that. And you also have two more 2 and 1/2 in drives uh locations behind the
motherboard. Now, you might have noticed there wasn't a sled for the one that's
in the front of the case. That's because they give you two sleds by default. So,
you can decide to have two in the back behind the motherboard or one behind the
motherboard and one in the front or however you want. But to be honest, uh I
usually just install SSDs with tape or nothing. Anyways, so you can pretty much
install as many SSDs as you want in this case. And the another thing about the
basement is that there's a cutout for the power supply. A lot of basements end
up completely covering the power supply, which is nice because you hide the cables, but not nice because you don't
get to see the cool branding of your badass power supply. So now you'll
actually be able to see through the window and see what power supply you own. Right next to those hard drive
mounts, there's also a place to mount a reservoir. And there's another reservoir
mounting space just beside where you would mount any additional add-in cards
that you might have. Above that reservoir mounting spot, there's another
140 mm fan by default, which again you can slide up and down. So, if you if you
need to be a little bit higher because you have an air cooler for your CPU and
you want it to all be in line, then that's cool. If you want to be lower because you want to install a big
freaking rad up there and it goes that far back for whatever reason, then
that's also cool. No problem. big massive CPU cutout and a bunch of
grommets on the right hand side of the motherboard and above the motherboard
with two cutouts without grommets above the motherboard and three cutouts
without grommets just below the motherboard for your like headers or
whatever else you might have installed there. Before we go behind the
motherboard tray, I would also like to point out the bottom of the case, which
also has a filter in it. There's a filter in the front of the case, the bottom of the case, and the top of the
case. Again, the top of the case, it's mostly just a solid uh plain metal panel
with some a little bit of breathing stuff on the angled sides, but that's
also where your power button is. Now, behind the motherboard tray, most of
this was covered before, but there are still a few things. There's little feet
for the power supply that can keep it up and keep any vibration noise away from
it, which is actually quite cool. There's the pump mounting spot, which I
referenced earlier. There's the hard drive cages, which I referenced earlier.
There's the kind of like velcroy strap things which are actually really nice
and commonly found on Fantex cases. And there is a six fan PWM hub. Much like
the front, the top spacing for fans can fit either 3x 120 mm or 2x 140 mm. And I
really like how far away from the motherboard tray they've actually placed
this cooling. You can see in the tray as I pull it out that there's a bunch of
spacing there. That's so you can fit a giant freaking radiator and still have
clearance over top of your motherboard. You might have troubles if you install
like massive dominator memory or whatever the heck. But if you install
some fairly standard height memory, you'd be able to fit something ridiculous like one of those alphacool
monster rads. All right, guys. Let me know in the comments down below. Is this
the case for you? Is this a case you've been looking for or not quite yet? Or on
Twitter, Luke LFR. Also, thanks to MSI
for sending us here this year. It was a ton of help. They're a big part of the reason why we're here at all. And you
