ITX computer cases are limited by their size, the structural design of the case directly affects its ability to load hardware and the performance of the machine and cooling effect, so the design and development of ITX computer cases is relatively difficult.
PHANTEKS EVOLV SHIFT XT P121 computer case (white) is precisely through the subtle and varied design, the chassis space to the extreme, from the name of the case can be seen, this case ambitious, shouldering the burden of subverting tradition, innovation in the future, how to feel the specific performance in the process of installation it.
PHANTEKS EVOLV SHIFT XT P121 Showcase
PHANTEKS EVOLV SHIFT XT P121 Features
The chassis can achieve three different height patterns by raising the top cover changes to be compatible with different radiator installation specifications.
-
The default mode of the chassis volume is about 13.5L more suitable for air-cooling installation, radiator recommended to use the downward pressure air-cooling radiator, up to support 72MM height of air-cooling radiator installation.
-
In the second mode, the top cover height is raised by 30MM, the volume comes to about 15.6L, and two 120MM fans can be installed on top of the air-cooled mode.
-
The third mode is the top cover height is too high to 60MM, the volume also increased to about 17,4L, this mode can support the installation of 240 integrated water cooling
Through the flexible changes in the top cover of the chassis to achieve a different scale of heat dissipation is just one of the features of this chassis.
The chassis is made of luxurious materials adhering to the consistent style of the wind chaser brand, the external case is made of 2.5MM thick one-piece stamped aluminum plate, the surface is anodized, the thick visible to the naked eye gives a solid feeling.
The chassis uses a comprehensive open-hole design, the vents are set with high-density metal dust net, greatly increasing the cooling function of the chassis.
The chassis is designed with A4 structure, the motherboard and graphics card back to back, the space width of the graphics card compartment reached 62MM, compatible with the current mainstream three-slot graphics card, the power AC interface is also set to the bottom of the chassis, for desktop placement this is really good.
The front panel of the chassis is cleverly and secretly designed, the top cover of the chassis is designed to take into account the three height adjustments, so the top part of the front face is designed to be magnetically fixed, and there is an anti-friction adhesive strip on top to protect the front face of the infinite prism, infinite prism as the new light effect features of the wind chaser, in addition to widely used in its water cooling radiator cold head, while also being applied to the top of this chassis, and the area is large enough This also sets the stage for players to DIY.
The design of the lower part of the front cover is also not simple, the lower cover can be slid up and down, the front IO interface of the chassis is cleverly hidden here, sliding up to reveal the interface when in use, when not in use, sliding down to cover also plays a dust-proof role, but also the front face more integrated sense. IO interface provides a TYPE-C, a USB3.0 simple and practical, there is a light effect through the chassis control button, and ladder The shape of the boot button set is the finishing touch, as if the small chin of the Iron Man mask.
Then look at the skeleton part of the chassis guts, for the A4 structure of the chassis, PCI extension cable is the indispensable soul bond, the wind chaser for the chassis provides a length of accurate, fine workmanship expensive PCI4.0 extension cable, this must be praised. Part of the power supply compartment also needs to be highlighted, and the conventional A4 chassis design is different, the power cord interface becomes upward, such a change may seem small, but in the actual installation process will experience such a setting for the alignment is simply too friendly, one is to shorten the length of the graphics card and motherboard power supply line, the second is more convenient to organize the excess wire, the power supply is installed and the skeleton partition also There is a lot of space left over to hide the wires. In addition, there is also a Velcro for cable management, a little detail is very much in place.
Personally, we think the Phanteks Evolv Shift XT P121 case completely subvert the innovation of the A4 structure of the ITX chassis, really small space and large pattern, in the A4 structure of today's serious homogenization can do so well is not easy, in addition, it is worth praising is in the workmanship and materials, as always, adhering to the Windchaser brand of good style, from the high quality PCI4.0 extension cable comes with to The details of the line settings, to the overall modular installation, screw-free fixed and so on, feel the wind chaser for this case into the heart and sincerity. If the case can be more color options, or can achieve the case shell color customization, so as to meet different players to make different color theme display that would be perfect.
