Modern adulting case
Just built a new rig using the Fractal Design North in charcoal black with the walnut front, and honestly, it's one of the best-looking cases I’ve ever used. The mix of real wood and mesh gives it this classy, modern vibe that doesn’t scream “gamer” but still looks super premium. The tinted glass side panel adds a nice touch too—lets you show off your components without going full RGB overload. Building in it was smooth. The layout is smart, with plenty of room for cable management, airflow, and larger GPUs. I’ve got a 360mm AIO in the front and everything fits with zero clearance issues. Airflow is excellent even with the mesh design, and the case stays quiet even under load. My only small complaint is that it might be a hard fit for larger GPUs. But other than that, it’s a beautiful, functional case—perfect if you’re going for a clean, sophisticated look.

Fantastic and not at a premium price.
A fantastic case that supports plenty of hefty-sized components and looks stunning while doing so. It's no wonder it's so popular. It feels rigid with a good build quality and clearly has thought but into where everything should fit. All this, at a price not much more than any other case.

Amazing and beautiful case!
I’ve been using the Fractal North Black Walnut case for a few weeks now, and I am thoroughly impressed. The design strikes the perfect balance between modern minimalism and natural elegance. The walnut wood accents are a unique touch, giving the case a premium look that stands out among other options on the market. In terms of functionality, the case offers excellent airflow with its well-placed mesh panels and supports plenty of cooling options. Cable management was a breeze, thanks to the spacious interior and well-thought-out routing channels. It also fits larger GPUs with ease, which is a big plus for those building high-performance rigs. Overall, the Fractal North in Black Walnut is not just a computer case—it’s a statement piece. Highly recommend it for anyone who values aesthetics without compromising on performance.
