Fractal Design ERA ITX chassis review

We review the Fractal Design ERA in a Titanium grey with Walnut finish, a silent PC housing for small form factor motherboards. For this Mini-ITX ready chassis can you'll be surprised about storage, style, USB 3.x options. Next to that, it's rather cute, tiny and probably the best looking Mini-ITX chassis we have seen in a while available in many color designs as well.

At first glance this is giving off big Xbox 360 design vibes

Unfortunately, its asking price is about average in comparison to many other sff cases out there, many of which are made by start up businesses. I mean $200 USD for a metal shoebox. It's something those looking to build tiny PC's have to contend with, with a couple of exceptions such as the Fractal Node 202. Sometimes, as I have found, keeping a keen eye open for specials helps. Earlier this year I scored a Raijintek Ophion Evo for $120 USD and it houses one of my other rigs.

Looks like it has the same overheating problems as the 360 did at launch. It's probably one of the worst performing sff cases on the market today.
