    The Best Case I've Ever Owned

    This case is outstanding. Great build qulity, well thought out design for cable management and fan support with a dedicated fan hub, and it's easy to build in. There's tons of room for a large AIO if you choose to go that route. I installed a Fractal Lumen S28 280 mm, 2 fan cooler up top, but it supports up to a whopping 420mm! And the aesthetic is absolutely beautiful. The included 140mm Aspect fans really cool the system off well. Some people have mentioned that they're a little loud, but it hasn't bothered me one bit. I have headphones on most of the time anyways! I'd rather my system get adequate cooling than be whisper quiet. I can't recomment this case enough.

    Excellent case that is super easy to build in, has plenty of options to hide wires, and looks great with the wood front panel. Would have liked an additional fan at the back for exhaust, but can easily get any fan to add on. Also one additional USB-C port on the top panel would have made it perfect.

    Pretty decent size case, fits my 4070 ti super with extra space. Wood accent is quite nice. Three including front case fans are beasts with tons of air flow. Jumped from my meshify C to this takes up more space but worth it in my mind.

    Another Excellent Fractal Case

    Just like the rest of my Fractal cases this model does not disappoint. I actually started a full build just because I became so attached to the aesthetics of this case. It's very easy to work in and is large enough to get almost anything you want into it. It's not quite as big as the XL name would make you think, but is plenty of room to work with. I've got a 360mm rad + 1 additional 120mm exhaust and 3 * 140mm intake fans with no issues. I replaced the included 3 * 140mm fans in the front so that all of my fans would match.

    I love this case. It’s such a great design and it was so spacious for everything I wanted to add! Couldn’t recommend it enough. Only thing is some of the screws and the way they went on felt a little cheap, but still a great case.

    Wow this is easily my favorite case and I’ve been building computers for 20+ years. First off it’s beautiful, very easy to work in, which makes the build go by quickly and Ruston free, all the notches in the right place to manages your cables.

    I enjoyed building with this case very much and loved the space for the wires and the space for the GPU. The pre-installed fan controller also was well appreciated and made the wiring for the case fans much simpler and easier than any other case I've used. This case is a bit bigger than most mid tower PC cases I've used in the past but still not a full tower by no means. Overall, I'd definitely recommend this case to anyone that's looking to put a large GPU into their build. Otherwise, I'd probably just go with the regular sized Fractal North model if you don't plan on putting a large GPU into your build.

    Out of the box it's ready for your next build. It has plenty of cable management and includes three fans out of the box. Space in the main cavity is great for any size motherboard and GPU, and the cables for the buttons, fans, and USB slots are already mostly routed, just needed to be plugged in

    The case looks good and is big enough to build in while having room to spare. It easily fit my 5070TI with enough space to add in an AIO later if I want to. Air flow is really nice with the case as well. I opted to ditch the fans that came with the case but that does not take away from how much I like the case. Great features here and fits in well with my office setup.
