Why the fuck do you want shiny shit? Matte aluminum looks better IMO. It's also sound dampened and filled with dustfilters. A side window is optional but who gives a fuck about side windows.

>>58471802
>shiny aluminum
>decent design
>AND a side window
heh

I got the Evolv atx shortly after it came out, hoping they would come out with a solid side panel option for atx. After all these iterations on several form factors, there's still no solid panel option except on the itx. Probably gonna end up selling it and getting something from Fractal Design

>>58470895

>>58470408
As someone who owned one, I'll say it's not the best case ever. But it is any awesome case for sure. I had the tempered glass version. Here's what I like:

>Good radiator support
>Excellent quality
>Pretty configurable for various combinations
>Looks great
>Actually comes in a proper color set, with proper panels

What I didn't like:
>Poor E-ATX support due to motherboard tray offset
>Certain radiator configurations don't really work well/as advertised
>SSD cut out on motherboard side leaves most SSD's upside down, it also blocks any LED strips run underneath the SSD

What I'd do to fix my personal issues:
Release an E-ATX version of the Evolv TG. If they released a version of the case that was just two inches deeper, an inch or two taller, and an inch wider, with basically the similar layout they have now, it would allow for proper 280mm rad support and clearance with memory on top. Also proper support for dual 360mm radiators. I'd also like to see some work done in the basement of the case. Perhaps rotate the drive 90 degrees so drives sit on their side, and move it closer to the power supply, allowing for the use of front radiators with more than one 3.5" HDD. They could also maybe add a mount location on the PSU shroud for one. The size increase would also allow proper support/fitment of 264mm wide E-ATX boards, and fitment of 272mm wide E-ATX boards.

Picture very much related, the build before I got rid of the case.

Looks foo king massif.

Mine is:
Silverstone FT03B-Mini

Pros:
Minimal desk footprint (I have too much junk, desk space is a premium, this was my main reason)
Single fan draws air from the bottom and it's expelled through the top, in a sort of Mac Pro Rubbish Bin like design
All wiring in one small place at the top
You can actually squeeze 1 HDD and 3 SSDs in there

Cons:
Expensive
The clips that hold all the panels on are kind of half arsed so it's not very firmly held together
You need to use a slot loader optical drive, which are more limited and more expensive in general, and similarly it's a SFF PSU
It's best as a "build it and forget it" machine, as working on it is a real pain in the arse
Much of the heat after it rises goes through the PSU, which is probably not very good for it
All the wiring being out of the top makes it quite an ugly mess to look at


Overall: But muh desk space

>>58472412
Additional pro I forgot: Supports full size GPU

>>58472383
I owned a 600T. I didn't like the plastic feel. I want something more premium.

I grabbed a photo of the Power Mac G5, but the Intel based Mac Pro has essentially the same case from the outside.

The G5 case was fine inside for a G5. But you have to modify some bits to turn it into an x86 machine.

The pre trash can Mac Pros are already x86 machines. I don't know how difficult it would be to do a full motherboard swap on them. Never tried.

Any of the last-gen Sun Ultra series (check Wikipedia for model numbers). Though, if you're thinking of doing a motherboard swap, get the Opteron version. I'm thinking the UltraSPARC version is unlikely to be ATX.
