Phanteks Evolv X vs. X2 – Build Quality & Design Thoughts

I’ve been using the Phanteks Evolv X for a while now, and one of the things I love about it is the solid all-metal construction. It feels premium, sturdy, and well-built, definitely one of the reasons I chose it in the first place.

Now with the Evolv X2, I’ve noticed Phanteks has introduced a lot more plastic into the design, and I’m not sure how I feel about that, I wonder if it makes the case feel cheaper compared to the Evolv X.

Another thing that stands out is the X2’s height, it is noticeably taller than a standard case, especially with its large feet. I know it's designed that way for better airflow, but it still feels quite tall..

For anyone who’s gotten their hands on the X2, how does it compare to X? Would love to hear your thoughts!
