Product Showcase
Once we pop the chassis on its back we can see the bottom side, the case is resting on four rubber feet preventing resonating noises. The PSU will be located at the backside of the chassis, there's a nice large mesh there for ventilation and as you can see it is protected with a removable dust filter.
Front panel IO then, arguably that feels little bland and simple. But you'll find one of each USB 2.0 and 3.0 ports alongside the audio I/O, Power button with LED, and a reset button. And once powered on, the power LED will turn on. Missing is a fan controller, especially for a silent noise friendly product we do feel that one could have been included.
Internals then. First impression, there is a decent enough amount of space to work in. You can also see a new design with some innovative features that allow you to install quite a bit like liquid cooling:
Radiators
- Front – 380, 240, 140 and 120 mm radiators of all thicknesses. (for 280mm you need to forfeit the lower 5.25" bay slot)
- Top – 240 and 120 mm radiators. (A thickness limitation of only 40mm for both radiator + fan applies .
- Rear – 120 mm radiator max width 120mm
The chassis has 7 card slots. Alternatively you can mount two fans at the top side according to the same specs as we mentioned for liquid cooling. Fractal design does not include a rear fan for airflow outtake.
