Fractal Design North Chalk White Tempered Glass Clear - Wood Oak front - Glass side panel - Two 140mm Aspect PWM fans included - Type C USB - ATX Airflow Mid Tower PC Gaming Case

I'll start by saying this is the best PC case I have ever owned. The style is completely unique with the beautiful wooden finish at the front, and the attention to detail second to none. The case is incredibly easy to assemble, with great cable storage (both in terms of space and organisation), and my components through the glass side panel look absolutely fantastic. Even removing the panels to do regular cleaning is easy thanks to the 'clip' mechanism for re-attaching the panels. This makes it much easier to line the panel(s) up with the groove, as opposed to other cases where you have to align and then slide the panel without letting it slip. The airflow on this case is great; my temperatures have been very cool, especially when idling. I added an exhaust fan as this case doesn't come with one. The two fans that are included on the front are very quiet yet powerful. As a side note, I would personally recommend that everyone has at least one exhaust fan regardless of the case/components. I don't begrudge Fractal for not including one, as I was planning on using my own LED fan anyway.My one and only complaint is that in SOME areas there seemed to be a lack of care during assembly. The screws have been overtightened and threaded on the side panels upon manufacture. The PSU casing paint chipped off slightly around my PSU. Now, these are only minor issues, but it did feel like it let the case down somewhat. I sent my feedback to Fractal and was pleased with their response. Hopefully these issues have been fixed now (I was an early adopter), but it would definitely not stop me from buying this case again.

I’ve recently upgraded my PC for the first time in years and wanted to move away from the (in my opinion) tacky side panel and bright LEDs.I was using a Corsair 275r airflow before and honestly don’t have any real complaints about it, but it was time for a change.I’ve always been a fan of fractal’s design language and I wasn’t disappointed with the North, it just looks and feels premium and classy. (I wish the white had the nice brass coloured button and darker wood tones the black has but that’s me being picky haha)I found building in this case as easy as it gets, plenty of room for the cables and full ATX motherboard and triple fan GPU so there’s no issue there.Temps were excellent, much cooler than my old setup thanks to the vented front, side and top panels and the included fans, I purchased another just to keep it a bit cooler again. The fans aren’t too noisy but they’re easy to remove if you’d prefer a ‘brighter’ alternative.Comparing to my old Corsair case, whose plastic had yellowed with age over the last 4 or 5 years, this looks and feels like a step up and I believe it’ll last a good bit longer.Very happy with my purchase.

I love this case, it looks gorgeous and I 100% intend to continue to use this, however, why there is no dust filter on the top is beyond me. I imagine the mesh on top is intended to act as a dust filter of sorts, but I can promise you it does not.It is a somewhat small case, in that I had a fright trying to install my XFX 7800xt 319, because the card itself was longer than the width of the glass pane so I had to twist the card a bit to fit it. I would not be comfortable putting a front radiator in this case, but top radiators are better anyway.I'd recommend 2x140mm fans in the front, not the included ones, I find the Aspect 140mm fans to be very loud for 140mm fans, as intake, a rear 120mm exhaust, and a 280mm AIO on top as exhaust.The position the stock fans came in was great, it is almost like my cpu and gpu have their own intake fans because of this, but I find the CPU 8/16pin slot to be too small and not in a great position.It is amazing to build in otherwise though, nice deep cable channel towards the front of the right side panel with 3 preinstalled velcro cable ties, it comes with a few(4 I think) standard zip-ties in the accessory box, the mesh model comes with a fan hub too, though the TG one does not.It has some nice quality of life stuff with it, the middle MOBO stand-off isn't a screw one rather a positioning one that makes installation easier, all panels are easily removable, and the HDD & SSD brackets are great, though with a Corsair SATA power cable, I had to bend the cable to plug this in.If you are buying this case, it won't be for price, or anything like that, it will be purely for the looks of it, and it is damned gorgeous

This case is absolutely amazing, you get more than enough space for your components, there are ties in the back pre installed that help with cable management all easily hidden behind the removable back panel, the glass is great quality and lets you see your pc ticking.The overall build quality is very good and it definitely feels premium. There are 3 built in 140mm fans in the front pre wired in the back via a usb fan hub, you only need to plug them into your motherboard and set them up in bios. The front of the case has a mesh layer to keep dust out.I can definitely recommend this case it’s been great so far and looks incredibly good.
