Phanteks Evolv Shift 2 Anthracite Gray Mini-ITX Tempered Glass D-RGB PC Case with PCIe 3.0 Riser (PH-ES217E_AG02)

Anthracite Aluminium and Glass in a Space-Conscious Vertical PC Case

The Phanteks Evolv Shift 2 Anthracite Gray offers a tall Mini-ITX layout with aluminium exterior panels and tempered-glass sides. The verified PH-ES217E_AG02 configuration is intended for a separately specified compact desktop where the narrow footprint and grey finish complement the workspace.

Its included 140mm SK D-RGB PWM fan, lighting controls and PCIe 3.0 x16 riser form part of the enclosure package. Plan around a compatible SFX or SFX-L PSU and the official cooler and GPU limits before choosing hardware. Glass sides are not the same as the separate Shift 2 Air fabric panels, and a compact vertical build should not be expected to accommodate unrestricted full-size cooling or every high-power component combination.

Best For: Anthracite desk setups, Vertical Mini-ITX PCs, Compact showcase builds, D-RGB accent lighting, Experienced SFF assembly, Measured custom desktops

DETAIL SPECIFICATION

TECHNICAL FEATURES

A distinct grey enclosure configuration

The exact AG02 part uses the Anthracite Gray aluminium finish with glass side windows. Hardware shown in unrelated complete-system marketing is not part of this chassis purchase.

Concealed connections with top access

The top cover provides access to the motherboard and GPU connections. Leave suitable room for opening the cover and routing external cables in the finished desk position.

Generation-correct riser information

The supplied graphics-card riser is PCIe 3.0 x16. Check the motherboard/GPU link configuration and do not assume that a newer-generation riser is included.

Cooling selected as a complete assembly

Use the 85mm CPU-cooler limit and the rear 120mm radiator envelope to shortlist parts. The manual permits up to 45mm radiator thickness with SFX, or 30mm with SFX-L, so PSU choice changes the usable layout.

🔎 Technical Conclusion

Case Format:
Anthracite Gray vertical Mini-ITX case with tempered-glass sides and aluminium exterior panels.

Airflow / Cooling:
Included 140mm SK D-RGB PWM fan, rear fan mounts and bottom fan position; choose cooling for the compact glass enclosure.

Component Clearance:
85mm CPU-cooler height; GPU up to 335mm long, 150mm wide and 59mm thick. Verify cables and all installed parts together.

Build / Connectivity:
PCIe 3.0 x16 riser and integrated D-RGB controls; two USB 3.0 ports.

Physical / Installation:
170 x 490 x 274mm; SFX/SFX-L PSU support, with PSU-dependent radiator thickness limits.

Overall Positioning:
A narrow-footprint grey display enclosure for a carefully planned Mini-ITX PC, not a complete system or the mesh-sided Air version.

✅ Suitable For

• Users planning an anthracite workspace
  The verified grey exterior offers a different finish from the separate Black model while retaining the glass-panel Shift 2 identity.
• Mini-ITX builders with a narrow desk position
  Confirm the footprint, ventilation space, top cover access and external cable route before final placement.
• SFF enthusiasts using a discrete GPU
  Check card length, width, thickness and PCIe riser compatibility rather than relying on the Mini-ITX label alone.
• Builders choosing compatible compact cooling
  Assess CPU-cooler height or the complete rear radiator, fan and PSU arrangement before ordering cooling parts.
