Fractal Design has introduced the North XL full tower PC case, featuring a wooden front panel. The North XL is an extension of the previously detailed "North" series and accommodates larger motherboards up to E-ATX and water cooling radiators up to 420mm, thanks to its expanded chassis and interior space. The North XL is available in black and white variants. The black model incorporates a walnut front panel, whereas the oak front panel characterizes the white model. The product lineup offers options for side panels, including a mesh panel for enhanced airflow and a tempered glass panel for a clear view of the interior. Cooling capabilities are supported by multiple fan mounts: three 120/140mm fans in the front (with Aspect 14 PWM Black fans as standard), up to three 120mm or two 140/180mm fans on the top, two 120/140mm fans on the side (incompatible with the tempered glass model), and one 120/140mm fan in the rear.

The case provides storage options with two 2.5/3.5 inch bays and two additional 2.5 inch bays, alongside seven expansion slots. It supports graphics cards up to 413mm in length, power supply units up to 290mm deep, and CPU coolers up to 185mm in height. For connectivity, the "North XL" includes one USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C port, two USB 3.0 ports, and inputs for a microphone and headphones. It is compatible with multiple motherboard form factors including E-ATX (up to 330mm in width), ATX, MicroATX, Mini-ITX, SSI-CEB, and SSI-EEB. The case measures 240mm in width, 503mm in depth, 509mm in height, and weighs 9.7kg.

The estimated retail price for the "North XL" series, including tax, is starting at $199 and runs up-to approximately $290 USD, with the product lineup comprising the Charcoal Black (model number: FD-C-NOR1X-01) and Chalk White (model number: FD-C-NOR1X-03) variants, as well as the tempered glass versions, Charcoal Black TG Dark (model number: FD-C-NOR1X-02) and Chalk White TG Clear (model number: FD-C-NOR1X-04).
