Computer Case Phanteks Evolv S2 Midi-Tower E-ATX Black

The Phanteks Evolv S2 Midi-Tower in black is a refined computer case built to accommodate E-ATX motherboards while retaining a compact footprint. Tempered glass panels on the front and side provide a premium appearance and allow component visibility. The internal layout supports multiple fan positions and radiator mounts for effective airflow and liquid cooling, and integrated cable management channels keep the interior tidy. The case includes mounting options for high-performance GPUs and storage drives, alongside configurable RGB lighting to match system aesthetics.

Advantages

The Evolv S2 combines a sturdy steel chassis with tempered glass to balance durability and visual appeal. It offers flexible cooling support with multi-fan and radiator compatibility, enabling both air- and liquid-cooled configurations. Interior space is optimized for long graphics cards and multiple storage devices, while built-in cable routing and tie-down points simplify assembly and improve airflow. Tool-less drive bays and modular brackets reduce installation time and increase upgradeability.

Suitable for

• Gaming PC builds that require E-ATX motherboard support and long graphics cards
• Workstation systems needing multiple storage drives and efficient cooling
• Custom liquid-cooling loops with front or top radiator placement
• Showcase builds that benefit from tempered glass side and front panels

Key specifications

• Form factor: Midi-Tower compatible with E-ATX motherboards
• Exterior: tempered glass front and side panels with steel frame
• Cooling support: multiple fan mounts and radiator compatibility (front/top/rear)
• Drive bays: mounts for 2.5" and 3.5" storage devices with tool-less options
• Graphics card clearance: supports long GPUs suitable for high-end cards
• Expansion slots: multiple PCIe slot support for multi-GPU or expansion cards
• Front I/O: panel with USB and audio connectivity (see manufacturer details for exact ports)

How to use

Install the E-ATX or smaller motherboard onto the standoffs provided, then mount the power supply in the designated compartment. Place storage drives into the provided trays or brackets and secure graphics cards in the PCIe slots. Add cooling fans or radiators to the supported positions according to radiator thickness and clearance requirements. Route cables through the integrated channels and secure them with tie-down points to maintain unobstructed airflow. Connect front-panel I/O cables to the motherboard following the board’s header labels.

Recommendations

For optimal thermal performance, configure a balanced intake and exhaust fan setup and verify radiator clearance before finalizing component placement. Use the tempered glass panels to display interior lighting, but ensure airflow is not compromised by obstructive front filters or densely packed drive configurations.
