Fractal Design North Charcoal Black Tempered Glass Dark - Genuine Walnut Wood Front - Glass Side Panel - Two 140mm Aspect PWM Fans Included - Type C USB - ATX Airflow Mid Tower PC Gaming Case

I don't know what else can be said about this case that hasn't been said already. It's just a grrat case. It's BIG, very roomy. Plenty of space for cable management. Has a very clever drive setup at the bottom near the PSU mount. Great build quality, great airflow, keeps my hardware cool, aesthetically pleasing, great price even when compared to other premium cases.

I think this is easily one of the best cases on the market. I did a build in the standard sized North for a friend and was so impressed I got this XL case for myself. It's a pleasure to build in. The cable management is great and there's plenty of room for even the largest coolers or graphics cards. The computer runs cool and quiet, even with extremely power hungry parts installed. I did add a few fans, but this case has many options for doing that. And we talk about the looks? I know that's a subjective topic but this case looks amazing in either white or black.

Fantastic case. Great cable management, a handy 3 extra plug ins for fans dangling conveniently near the top for hooking up your radiator fans from an AIO, pre installed offsets so you don't have to fool around with that on a standard size motherboard, room to easily top mount a 380mm radiator, and so far the PC has been extremely quiet although I give credit for a lot of that to the radiator. Looks elegant. Love the wood slats front end.

The Fractal North XL is an incredible case. It not only looks great but was incredibly easy to build in thanks to how large it is. It also has great airflow; I've never seen my components get above 64C under load. I personally replaced the included front fans with three Arctic P14 Pros and added another to the rear. I also added an Arctic Liquid Freezer III Pro 360 up top. I have the TG variant so you'd likely be able to get even better temps with the mesh side panel and side-mounted fans. Overall it's definitely worth the price if you have the space for it.

This is the slickest, hottest, most sexy-est computer case you can buy. In any color it stands out in the room, no matter where you put it. The price is awesome for how different it is from things being sold today. The real wood accent over the front case fans, the leather tab for the removable mesh top fan covers, the brass accents around the feet and slick steel power button for the front IO really change a computer case into part of your room furniture. If you get the model without the tempered glass side panel, you will get a bracket to able to add more fans to the mesh side panel for free. Its an excellently built PC case. Fractal makes super cool stuff and this is no different.

I am very happy with my Fractal North case. It looks great, has excellent ventilation, and a lot of provisions for fans. The case is on the small side for ATX boards, which was a positive for me, but if you want more build room I recommend the Fractal North XL instead. I bought the mesh side panel as opposed to the tempered glass version. The mesh panel version comes with provisions for side mount fans which really helps with GPU cooling. That being said, the side fan bracket barely cleared my CPU cooler so the usefulness of the side fans will depend on the size of your GPU and CPU cooler. It is a tight case.Cable management is generally good but the drive bays are basically useless. The power cables occupy the same space as one of the drives. That is not a problem for me since I only have a board mounted nvme but if you use a HDD for extra storage it could be an issue.It comes with two front mounted 140mm fans. These fans are okay, but they're nothing special. They are reasonably quiet and descent build quality but they are by no means high end / premium. If you want additional fans I would recommend a good third party brand as opposed to more of what the case comes with. I learned this the hard way.The case can fit two 140mm fans in the top of the case, however, one of the fans will interfere with your mobo's 8-pin power connector. You can fit both fans but you have to put a fair amount of stress on your power cables to do it.

I don't write many reviews, but I had to come on here to express just how amazing this case is. Not having to deal with tempered glass is a HUGE plus for me, it's a trend I have very much disliked as I tend to transport my desktop PC around. Aside from that major, major factor for me--this case is just so simple to work with. I was upgrading my GPU and realized that I needed to increase the wattage on my PSU along with it--in the past, undoing power cables and swapping out a PSU would have been a nightmare--NOT with this case. There's plenty of room to be able to perform this task without disassembling anything else. My radiator + fans take up a decent amount of space on the top of the case, but that didn't even block the CPU power connectors from coming out with minimal effort. There's also plenty of room on each side of the case so that cable management in general is an extremely easy task. The cherry on top of all of this is that the case itself looks and feels premium--and I love the design. The wood trim on the front and the gold buttons/connectors give it a very high-end look and it fits my aesthetic perfectly. Cannot recommend this case enough!

Great looking case and Fractal always delivers on quality! Ample room to build in and plenty of airflow to keep the PC cool. Dust filters are a plus, but keep in mind that there is a lot of mesh that allows dust through.
