Also, for anyone coming from an older case (not last 5 years,) like I was, and is concerned about these newer cases being junk because of lower price, don’t worry, they are solid.
So update, I went ahead and built in the Evolv X. Loved the looks of the case, and figured I’d brute force any perceived airflow inadequacies. This was my first Phanteks case, and I was actually pleasantly surprised with how solid the case is...
Well you may have just made my decision then. The mesh cases seem to be all the rage right now, but my big fear is that they'd be cheapish feeling. You have confirmed that concern for me, thanks!
So is there truly nothing in larger cases that approaches M1 build quality? I’m glad you mentioned the 500A because it is another one I have really been mulling over, I just like the look of the Evolv so much more.
Unfortunately my M1 build was a couple builds ago, and I no longer have the PSU. I have been unimpressed by the build quality of my previous 2 cases (Cooler Master/Corsair,) and I was hoping to just find something closer to that near perfectness...
The last case with fantastic quality I built in was the NCase M1, and I'd love to do another build in one, but I'm not really wanting to go super tiny this time around. So basically, what ATX cases are in the same ballpark build quality-wise as...
Dang, my nearest micro center is 6hrs away, but I’d kill for a reference 3080 right now. Give me a month, and I’ll be willing to wait for 40xx/30xxti though.
