Review: Absolutely stunning case with good elements, but not without issues - First off - this case is _stunning_ in the looks dept. Really. If you're looking for something that looks 'professional' and doesn't make you pull out your sunglasses to protect from all the rgb uv rays - this is a contender. It's generally well thought out and has a few nice features like the psu frame that allows you to install the power supply fan up or fan down, but other than that it's a rather basic case of average build quality. You're paying a slight premium for the unique wooden front panel and the Fractal name imo. The two included 140mm front fans are decent, but again nothing special. I'd say this case is better suited to air cooled setups, as despite the ability to install radiators, space is tight up front and up top. The optional side fan that comes with the mesh panel model seems clever, but ultimately won't fit with most modern gpu cards and no vertical gpu mounting hardware is included. As such, while a decent air cooled system fits inside nicely, I wouldn't want to build a high performance gaming system in this case and try to keep it cool. BUT - did I mention how beautiful it looks? All the little brass adornments that come on the black version look so nice. And the dark tinted glass means if you add _just a touch_ of rgb inside it looks very classy. Yeah, the real wood slats up front look nice, but I almost think that some high quality plastic fake wood would do nearly as well. And, similarly to the Torrent models, those front slats cause some airflow noise that you wouldn't get with a simple mesh intake panel (another reason to avoid high heat generating components). All in all I think this case is a decent value... It looks like few other cases and is built just well enough. There's really nothing extraordinary about the mechanicals and a Lancool 216 is a much better value if the Ikea look isn't your thing. But if you want some class in your office - this one plays that part very well.

*by P***O on November 23, 2025*

Molto bello, un design veramente curato ed elegante, peccato però che la costruzione sia carente: materiali di poca qualità, spessore del metallo molto sottile, anche il vetro è molto sottile; praticamente un case cinese truccato da matrimonio. Altro aspetto, compatibile SOLO con schede madri con connettori posteriori!!! Fractal… una delusione…
