The Phanteks Evolv Shift 2 at A Glance:

• Ultra-small footprint due to its unique vertical form factor (186 x 490 x 274mm)
• Made from high-quality materials including aluminum, steel, and tempered glass
• Easy access to I/O ports via a button on top of the chassis
• Integrated D-RGB controller
• Removable side panels

The Phanteks Evolv Shift 2 in Detail:

With the Phanteks Evolv Mini-ITX Black Case, Dutch manufacturer Phanteks has done it again. They have created a unique, eye-catching case that is extremely practical.

The starting point for any great PC case is of course the materials it’s made from. The Evolv Shift 2 combines a solid steel chassis with aluminum panels and tempered glass. This gives the Evolv Shift 2 a refined aesthetic as well as a robust construction.

This unique design aspect not only creates a huge interior space for installing the latest hardware but also allows quick access to the I/O ports. A grill cover on top prevents the ports from being exposed and gives the Evolv Shift 2 a neat look.

To enhance the case’s aesthetics further, Phanteks also includes an integrated D-RGB controller. This controller enables multiple synchronized illumination effects. However, if users prefer it is possible to instead control RGB elements via the motherboard.

An Exceptionally Practical Case

Not only does the Phanteks Evolv shift look fantastic but it has many great features. For instance, there is sufficient clearance for a GPU of up to 355mm and a CPU cooler of up to 85mm.

Additionally, there is capacity for up to seven 120mm/140mm fans (a SK 140mm DRGB PWM fan is included with the case). As well as one 3.5″ drive with two 2.5″ additional or up to four 2.5″ drives. There is also support for a 120 mm AIO cooler.
