Phanteks Launches New Evolv Shift 2 and Shift 2 Air Cases

[btarunr]

Phanteks today introduced the new Evolv Shift 2 and Shift 2 Air vertical ITX chassis. The Evolv Shift 2 (Air) builds on the unique form factor of the original Evolv Shift, featuring a compact chassis with an extremely space-efficient footprint yet packed with plenty of power. D-RGB lighting has been integrated in a subtle and stylish way and all rear I/O is concealed while 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 comes in two variations:

• Evolv Shift 2: The Evolv Shift 2 looks impressive from every angle and provides a clear view of all hardware components through dual tempered glass side panels from both sides.
• Evolv Shift 2 Air: The Evolv Shift 2 Air provides direct fresh air to the CPU, GPU, and PSU through the two fabric mesh panels that will keep dust out while allowing RGB lights to come through. Perfect for an all-air-cooled system.

Availability December 2020.

Evolv Shift 2 - Black/Anthracite Grey - $109.99 / €109,90 / £99.99

Evolv Shift 2 Air - Black/ Anthracite Grey - $99.99 / €99,90 / £89.99.

If only the AOI mounting orientation was better

If only it came with a pcie4 riser cable...

 

[MrAMD]

Would love this case if it was ATX format. Need more than 2 memory sticks.

This... huge opportunity for NZXT and the v2 of the H1.

They've gotta fix the spontaneous combustion issue first

NZXT Scrambles to Fix a Safety Issue with the H1 Case

NZXT responded to customer complaints about a safety issue with its H1 small form-factor case, which it released in February, 2020. Apparently, the two screws that hold down the PCIe riser assembly to the chassis may cause an electrical short-circuit, and poses a potential fire hazard, although...

That's fixed, but nice laugh.

Is there a change log or comparison between the v1? Not seeing many differences.

Just take their word for it, this one is more shift than the last. /s

Server hardware suppliers like supermicro have had pcie 4 riser cables available for a while now

2nd, I was hoping this release would have such an option. I would have even settled for mATX

 

[Bjorn_Of_Iceland]

I wish they would sell that GPU bracket separately. The current one can't fit a 3 slot GPU because of it.

ATX support is what draws me away from it. Missing that its a no go. Also this looks XBox Series X inspired.
Need 4 DRAM slots.

Derp. You mean the XBox Series X is inspired by the Evolv Shift as the design has been around for years with the original version. This design is meant for small form factor builds. Hence no ATX support.
