“Compact” and sleek design for an ATX case
TLDR:A great case to build in. Fits ATX power supply (kind of) decent sized graphics cards up to 345mm or 13 inches roughly if AIO is up top, ATX mother board, and up to 360 AIO in the front. Be mindful for top mounted AIO a 280 dose not fit! Max is 240 so 2x120mm fan AIO. Case is short from front to back hence why 240 only up top but tall from bottom to top to fit your 360 AIO and this is the only case like this I could findMy build:Meshify C 2 caseRyzen 7 3800XStrix B550-A MoBoZotac 3060 AmpNZXT Elite 240 AIOCorsair Pro 32Gb ram (4x8gb)EVGA G1000W PSU2 HDD western digital1 2.5 SSD2 M.2 NVMEThere are some minor issues like the drive cage dose technically “work” with an ATX power supply but be careful, I used a module PSU so I had Less cables and I had to install both my HDDs first then slide the cage to the front towards the fans and screw it down THEN install my power supply for it to all fit. But I do like that the cage is secured by screw from under the case so you can adjust it even when it’s cramped and that’s good engineering.Also fit and finish is good, a little too good. The front part of my glass sticks to the front panel and the upper IO cove part where the corner of all three meet. And it’s a super tight fit so even if I remove the glass panel by it’s button it won’t fall out so I have to almost yank it out which may be scary for first Time builders and putting it back in you have to slap the corner of the glass, and that can be scary.Other then those 2 minor issues I’ve had zero problems with this case. In fact out of all the cases I’ve owned to include Corsair and Lian Li ,this was by far the best to build inside of.For all my pros I’d have to say:-good build quality, nothing feels cheap or flimsy-fit and finish may be too tight so be warned about the glass-love that PSU can be put in from the out side of the case by remove an outer PSU cover so no more inserting awkwardly from the side of the case.-tool less removal on both panels is amazing and I’m upset more cases don’t use it-front door for fans is nice you can pop it off and clean the filter and it’s cool to open up your fans little door to look at them.-pre installed fans are good. 2 giant 140mm fans up front and a 120 in the back. Slap an AIO in it and you don’t even need to buy fans.-the fans are also dead quite. I literally hear my HDD spool on and off louder then my fans in the case it’s insane and nice since my Corsair fans were cranked to 100% all the time in my old case and sounded like a train next to me so this is a beautiful change.-NO RGB on my model I got the all black and tinted glass one for me and my girlfriend.-removable front PSU shroud for AIO.-does have “future upgrade” spot for type C on front panel IO but you have to buy their expansion kit I believe.-cooling has been no issue to me. I’m a professional video editor and full time collage student and my computer stays on 24/7 and my GPu never goes above 64 C and my Cpu is a cool 39 C on no load and max 58-63 ish under heavy load. So if cooling is an issue those 140mm fans do a great job even if you can’t control them.Cons:-Price- I’ve gotten both my cases for good prices at $115 on sale and $110. Right now it’s 130+ for non RGB and that’s just insane I think if this case falls below 120 it’s a good buy honestly but above 120 and it’s hard to argue a good buy when there is other cases that are just as good for a much cheaper price. Sometimes it’s on a good sale like right now as of 7/12/2023 I can see the RGb 4 fan version for $100 even and that’s a steal! I’d say sub 120 and your good on price.-Fans that are pre installed are not 4 pin PWM so they are not controllable for fan curve (If you care about that)-If you use top mounted AIO be careful as their is very VERY little space once installed so make sure to route every single cable you need and plug them in on MoBo before installing AIO or you will be removing it to move cables.-fit and finish is a con for new people because I can see the intimidation to yanking off your glass panel and slapping it back on so this is a point here for that.-shipping, this case isn’t on Amazon it’s through a third party so Amazon doesn't house these cases and they can take up to a month to get to you and for builders this is annoying. I get it’s a new case but fractal isn’t a small company and if Micro Center can house all of their case types why can’t Amazon or Best Buy?I’m the end this is a great case for people wanting a smaller yet “large” case for bigger GPUs or AIOs. The price, if below 130, is good for what you get here even if it takes almost a month to get and the case looks fantastic in any set up.

Fantastic design and easy to work with
A fantastic fully fledged case. Very easy to work with and virtually tool-less design. Case fits upto ATX mobo's and full size graphics cards. PSU shroud is easy to access from both front of case, inside case (when two access panels removed) and from rear of case. I use full-size corsair DDR5 Vengeance DIMMs and a Noctua NH-D15 cooler and still have room between the cooler and the front glass despite needing to raise one of the fans to clear the RAM.Cable management is very easy and system stays cool. System can have 1 rear 120mm, 1 PSU shroud 120mm (remove HDD cage), 3 120mm top (or 2 140mm) fans and 2 140mm or 3 120mm front fans.I would like to have run 2 140mm fans on the top but due to having 2 8-pin CPU cables I could only run 2 120mm fans. Case comes with three decent fans but I replaced them with Noctua's.Only negative I have is that the USB-C port is optional and needs to be purchased separately.Would highly recommend this case.

Ottimo Case
Spazioso quanto basta e nello stesso tempo compatto. Mi trovo bene anche con le ventole frontali da 140 mm, silenziose ed efficienti. Qualità costruttiva davvero molto buona. Airflow migliorato di molto. Davvero contento della scelta.
