Phanteks Evolv ATX, how's it's airflow?

I really like the looks of the Phanteks Evolv ATX, however I'm concerned that the airflow isn't quite good in this case. Can anyone who knows or owns this case tell me how well the airflow is on this case? Really want to get this case but the thought of restricted airflow is stopping me.

I don't own the case, but based on reviews, there's absolutely nothing wrong with airflow in the Evolv ATX:

Phanteks Enthoo EVOLV ATX, in standard hardware configuration, performed far above our expectations. Not only was the cooling performance better than the Phanteks Enthoo EVOLV, the airflow was better and component temperatures across the board were lower.

The Evolv ATX is fairly small but has enough space inside to flow plenty of air. It is nicely filtered at the front and by the power supply, and the exhaust vents play their part and allow hot air to leave. Although the Evolv ATX appears to be hermetically sealed it is actually free flowing and the cooling works very nicely.

Despite the relatively closed off panels, the trio of 140mm fans work well to keep temperatures in check. The exhaust fan is usually the most important one as far as CPU cooling goes, and it does a decent job of removing hot air from this important area, keeping our CPU at a delta T of 50°C.

The graphics card, too, is well looked after by the dual intakes, especially as there's uninterrupted airflow from front to back. The delta T result of 43°C is the lowest we've seen from a case using the new test gear. Admittedly, the differences aren't massive, but it does indicate that the Enthoo EVOLV ATX is more than capable of cooling a single GPU system, and we'd wager that with appropriate spacing between cards it wouldn't do too bad with SLI or CrossFire set-ups either.
