PHANTEKS PC case Evolv X2 DRGB black ATX tempered glass

PHANTEKS Evolv X2 DRGB black ATX tempered glass is a mid-tower PC case engineered to accommodate ATX motherboards and standard desktop components while providing a refined visual presentation. The model features a full tempered glass side panel and integrated digital RGB (DRGB) lighting to showcase internal hardware. Its internal layout balances component compatibility and airflow management, making it suitable for systems that require both cooling performance and an organized build.

Advantages

The case combines a sturdy steel chassis with a tempered glass side panel to offer durability and clear component visibility. Integrated DRGB lighting provides customizable illumination without the need for additional light strips, while thoughtfully routed cable channels and drive mounts simplify assembly and cable management. The internal space supports multiple cooling options, allowing a mix of air and liquid cooling configurations, and the front and top ventilation paths are designed to maintain consistent airflow for high-performance components.

Suitable for

• Gaming desktop builds with ATX motherboards
• Content creation workstations requiring visible component layouts
• Home or office systems where aesthetics and airflow are important

Key specifications

• Form factor: Mid-tower compatible with ATX motherboards
• Side panel: Tempered glass for full component visibility
• Lighting: Integrated addressable DRGB lighting
• Cooling support: Multiple fan mounts and radiator support for liquid cooling
• Drive bays: Support for standard 3.5" and 2.5" storage drives
• Expansion slots: Multiple PCIe expansion slots for full-length graphics cards

How to use

Install the motherboard on the provided standoffs and secure it with the appropriate screws. Mount storage drives and power supply in their designated compartments, route cables through the built-in channels to maintain a tidy interior, and connect power and DRGB headers to the motherboard or controller according to manufacturer guidance. Install cooling fans or radiators in the supported front, top, or rear positions depending on the chosen cooling configuration. Close the tempered glass side panel after verifying all connections and securing mounted components.

Usage recommendations

For optimal airflow, populate front intake and top or rear exhaust fan positions to create a balanced airflow path. Use the integrated DRGB controls or motherboard-compatible header for synchronized lighting. When installing liquid cooling radiators, confirm radiator thickness and fan spacing clearance relative to the front and top panel mounting points. Regularly clean dust filters and maintain unobstructed ventilation to preserve cooling efficiency.
