The HYTE Revolt 3 aims to provide both a compact and portable chassis. While a small chassis is naturally more portable, having a solid handle on the case makes a big difference as well. Thankfully, the handle is extremely well engineered with a comfortable grip and clean looks when stowed away.

The HYTE Revolt 3 on air cooling struggles to keep the internal components from heating up, which is something every small form factor chassis has to deal with. That said, it is still much better than many other enclosures of similar size out there. Also keep in mind that the Revolt 3 clearly being geared towards AIOs for CPU cooling may make this point a little less impactful anyway. That said, you may remove the mesh lining to give the chassis an almost open-air feel and improve temperatures along the way.

That brings us to functionality. First off, the Revolt 3 manages to squeeze in a full 3.5" drive along with two 2.5" drives, which makes for a good mix without loosing any space for other important components, like GPUs. While assembly of the 3.5" drive is a little trickier than we are used to in modern cases, the cover on the end of the drive bay for both the storage device and SFX-L PSU cables results in no headaches down the line when attempting to cable manage or install a GPU.

Thanks to the fact that you may remove all panels of the chassis, assembly is quite easy, and most cables are of adequate length, but some are on the shorter end, so cable management is at times a bit restricted. Also, the implementation of a pass-through USB-C connector is both good and bad as you on one hand won't need to splurge on an expensive ITX board with an internal header, but would use a port needlessly if you do have that internal connector. The HYTE Revolt 3 is also the first ITX chassis that can truly hold a 280 mm AIO without feeling like you are trying to squeeze an elephant into a shoe box. While other cases also allow for such a large cooling unit, the Revolt 3 makes including it in your system assembly a breeze and, thus, a no-brainer for the build.

Overall, the HYTE Revolt 3 is an excellent compact and functional ITX case HYTE clearly geared towards the liquid-cooling crowd. It may not push the envelope for being the absolutely smallest case, but manages to strike an excellent balance between accommodating potent hardware, big cooling, and a good mix of storage without any compromise while adding some really unique elements to the mix.
