Customer Reviews
Superb Case
As with all Fractal gear, the build quality on this is great! It’s a tad on the heavy side, but in a reassuring way. The 2 drive cages work well and the top one rotates to aid with air flow. (Top Tip : Remove the top drive cage and get amazing airflow all the way through the case). The fractal fans are OK but not totally silent. If you want total silence, look at something like the Noctua ones and a decent fan control system. Scythe Mugen 2 Rev B cooler fits this case no problem. There is an additional vertical slot just next to the four regular ones, which could have been useful except for the fact it is recessed in a quite narrow gap. Cable routing is excellent and if you take your time working on this sensibly with a few cable ties, you can achieve a great job with loads of clear space left for airflow. Overall this is a superb quality case and an absolute pleasure to work with. 1 star dropped for the less than useful vertical slot.
Solid, silent and great service
I was waiting ages for this to be released and after signing up for an email alert it eventually came in! I am very happy with the case, I knew it was exactly what I was after anyway but I was not disappointed at all with it. The build quality is nice, the cable routing is excellent and the soundproofing is also great. It comes with a variety of screws and fixings and a fan controller for the 2 installed fans (can add an extra 2). There is a bit of hum from the fans (I had expected complete silence form them at the lowest setting really). All in all very good and excellent service from quiet pc.
