Phanteks Evolv Shift 2 Mini-ITX Gehäuse, Tempered Glass, ARGB - schwarz PH-ES217E_BK02

damaged PCIE extension cable.

Make sure you are aware of what type of case and build you are getting into before you build in this case. Definitely need to take your time, plan, and realize the more aesthetic look over performance with the case.The Good:- Gorgeous Case! high-quality aluminum, small mesh filter, slightly tinted glass side panels that look awesome with LED Fans.- Accepts 140 mm fans-Backplate has a slot hole for better airflow- Allows for 2.5 and 3.5 Drives- Straight forward installation- Can fit big sized graphics cards- Small footprint and can easily fit on a desk- Aluminum cover in the case to cover up cables after organizing everything.The Bad- Not a huge fan of the AIO set up in the case. I'm personally not a huge fan of them, and can't really accommodate a decent air cooler in here. Especially with the pump being higher than the radiator, I'm curious to see how long this lasts. The place is a bit weird, and if they could utilize both fan positions, and use a bigger AIO cooler that would be much cooler.- Besides it being fairly easy to put together, cable management, in this case, is a bit of a hassle to deal with.- This case is a vertical tower, and I don't know but I wish they could accommodate a fan on top besides just on the bottom and sides.- I have seen other cases with a vent on the Tempered Glass to help with GPU thermals. Would be nice to have some sort of vent as well besides just the "air" version.- Would also be kind of cool if the case would also have some sort of handle on it for easy transportation, but I'm being a bit picky.- Gen 3 riser card. I am not sure why they would not include a Gen 4 riser cable. Very annoying.Overall a very good nice case with a few complaints. It was a pleasuring experience putting this case together. Would definitely recommend it to anyone who's looking for a solid mini-ITX case.

It would be great if the seller began to pack some of the internal parts. For example, the video card cable connector is not packaged and, apparently, its end moves freely inside the case. Therefore, from impacts on the inside of the structure, there are a lot of scratches and chips on the plastic of the connector. The plastic material and the build quality of the GPU connector are low. The case itself is well packaged and the glass is covered with a protective film, however, I found small chips at the corners of the glass.Overall, I can say that I am not pleased with this purchase.PS Change my rating from 4 star to 2.When I finally put everything together, found that work of my video card is not stable then I spend another 5 hours trying to run system with a different setting to find that problem is with faulty GPU riser.

I decided to build a SFF PC because no Xbox were available and I got my hand on an rtx 30 series. I researched all cases I could and basically only liked the phanteks shift and nzxt h1. The H1 while much more expensive does come with a power supply, but it was also unavailable. However the phanteks shift was also unavailable. Until the shift 2 came out right in time for my build. I just received it and am very happy with the quality. Frankly I’m not sure how they can make money selling these for just over $100 but I’m thankful they do because that’s about what I could pay. This case is beautiful and awesome. The aluminum front and back panels are nice thick pieces. It’s got built in cable management and will fit everything I need

I was very excited for this case but it ended up being a big disappointment for me. I was finished with the PC build and it turns out the PCIe cable doesn't work. I tried to buy an exact replacement but was not able to find one and a "standard" PCIe cable doesn't fit due to the case design. This has been terrible since it seems to be not easily accessible to get one of they different layout design PCIe cables.
