Product Description

The Evolv Shift 2 builds on the unique form factor of the original Evolv Shift and brings a compact chassis that packs plenty of power and is extremely space efficient with its small footprint. D-RGB Lighting has been integrated in a subtle and stylish way and all rear IO is concealed yet easily accessible with a touch on the top panel.
With support for large and powerful GPUs with up to a 2.9 slot cooler, the Evolv Shift 2 makes powerful gaming setups possible while the vented top, bottom and rear panel provide plenty of airflow options. The Evolv Shift 2 will look impressive anywhere with the tempered glass panels on both sides to highlight the hardware components.

Good case with decent design
5 Stars
Good case with decent design
First time to build a PC by myself. To be honest it’s kinda challenging to install everything inside this small case and wire all components correctly, but luckily this case is well designed with exactly right size to accommodate all the components you need.One thing to call out, the case comes with GPU extension cable in PCIE3 instead of PCIE4. Not sure about AMD, but stating with Nvidia 30 series, PCIE4 was introduced on GPU; some motherboards’ Bios uses “auto” as default value for PCIE setting; once it detects the GPU uses PCIE4, the motherboard would adopt PCIE4, which is actually incompatible with PCIE3 cable coming with case. This can lead to some weird problems (in my case I was suffering rebooting issue while waking up my computer from sleep mode, plus the game had low fps with the GPU was running at only 20W power). To resolve this issue just enter your bios setting and change PCIE configuration to “PCIE3”. It toke me so long time to troubleshoot this issue by locating the root cause (initially I even thought my GPU has quality issue and almost returned it); I think the manufacturer should update their instruction manual to let customer know about it.In addition, I’d recommend to use a short GPU card(I use 2-fan GPU which seems to be the best choice), because 3-fan GPU would take more space of bottom part; then it’s harder to put your hand inside the case to wire/manage/adjust the cables to power once the GPU is installed.
