that is a very very silly case design if you ask me.
I feel like they want you to put a fan on the bottom before the PSU. That would give some airflow to the GPU. The red cage on the bottom could be actually an air conduct.
That being said I would not use that case even if it was free.
Tell me about it!
I did get one for free, and don't know what to do with it...
It is wrong in so many ways; as has been said above, it it too big, and yet too small at the same time.
Things that are not right:
* It's HUGE at 36L, 1/3 more volume than my TJ-08 and unable to take an mATX board without surgery - could be worse mind you, errr
Manta
* Allow room for a full ATX PSU at the bottom - SFX would have allowed the case to be smaller.
Putting the PSU elsewhere (bottom mounted PSUs are asking to be rapidly clogged with carpet fluff IMHO) would have left more room for the GPU to breathe and not starved of airflow above a mid plate.
* Massive lack of airflow from the front - despite room for a 200mm fan, the air intake is massively limited by the lovely solid metal clad front panel
* Wasted space in front of the PSU and towards the front of the case.
* Room for radiators at the top by poor ventilation for them, and not enough room for a full water cooling system without moving stuff around.
I am sure that a
properly shrunk Evolv would be fantastic; especially if they made it in aluminium like the mATX and ATX versions.
Think EVGA Hadron Air, but with a more angled look to it - that would do the trick for me.
Although I don't like them as they are too big, and have too many unused slots, if an ATX board could be fitted into an Evolv ITX, it would then start to make sense size wise, so long as you could cool it.
