Hey guys, I thought its worth a shot to ask here if anyone has or have had an Evetech case?

I quite like them, and the price is very good considering you get 6 RGB fans included! BUT...my biggest concern is airflow? All of thefront panels seem quite closed off to put it blunt :unsure: 😄
 
Thanks for the quick reply! I watched that review last night and the reviewer did say it has enough space in the front for air to move through...I am looking at the Nova case at the moment, I want a white case with a desperate heart...choices are between the corsair 465X / In Win 305 and the Evetech Nova

The corair 465X is the dream case I want but will work out the most expensive because I will need to buy extra 3 x LL120 fans...In Win has no fans included and then the Evetech Nova has 6 fans included 🤷‍♂️
 
So I decided to go with this...the photos and videos don't do this case any justice (y) (y) (y)

PS : Sorry for the link...i've tried to do the Embedded way but just cant figure it out, and inserting an image fails every time
 
Transplant in progress...so far the case and fans are really easy to work with. I ordered an extra 3 fans, the Rajintek fans to use on the Corsair cooler, but then saw that the fan ARGB connectors are not the same as the Evetech connectors, so I cant use those fans with the Evetech RGB lighting, at least the Rajintek comes with a ARGB console.

Cool so the case is finished, Had a lot of hickups but sorted them out. Firstly testing the PC before making everything neat, press the start button...aand nothing, a slight hint of power then nothing...so start trouble shooting, taking out cables, retrying and retrying, eventually realising I never gave power to the corsair H150..so CPU was just like nope.

Next hick-up...when everything booted up, a serious fan noise came on...pin pointed it to the middle fan on the radiator, after some troubleshooting I saw that because the Raijintek fans are a bit bigger than normal fans, I had to squeeze the, in tight to make them fit..which then bend the frame of the middle fan a little out of shape, which then results in the blade scraping the frame.

SO, took out some sanding paper and started the tedious job of sanding down the thick plastic on the fans, eventually getting it to fit just right.
Tested again and voila! Everything working.

Then started the cable management, which was tricky...theres ample space in the back but not a lot of cable-tie hooks to tie cables to..only 3 or 4 running down the middle, and because of the 2 side panel fans I dont want cables to be seen through from the other side.

I tried my best with it, im not the most professional when it comes to cable management..but it seemed to work.

Overall experience, it is a very nice, classy case! The Evetech fans are good, not great but good... they aren't very loud, good airflow, the LED transitions aren't as smooth as the Raijintek, but it gets the job done with a crap load of settings out the box. The lights have a twitch every now and then...as if the RGB system resets or restarts.

The Raijintek fans are solid! Apart from the bigger size, the cooling is great, lighting is seriously good and so smooth! I might replace all the evetech fans with the Raijintek

Airflow is perfectly fine, im getting way more than enough airflow through the case, temps on the GPU are around 3° cooler than my previous case. The H150i is doing a great job, averaging 15° cooler on load than with my previous Corsair H100, but I have to give props to Corsair, that cooler was running well over 6 years on a OC'ed cpu, and it never missed a beat!

The case is quiet, looks very smart, overall very very happy with it! It is a bargain with all things considered!
