The Core of Configuration
The Core family of cases have always been centered around providing the core features and performance of Fractal Design's case lineage at an aggressive price point. Core has undergone an evolution thanks in part to the valuable feedback from our customers.
Despite its extremely small outer dimensions, the Core 1100 mATX case provides everything you need. The stylish, Scandinavian exterior design is matched by the fully painted interior, complete with the signature white details of Fractal Design. The case is optimized for airflow with a straight cooling path, and comes equipped with a pre-installed 120mm fan. The front panel is equipped with dust filters. An innovative vertical hard drive bracket can fit either two 3.5" drives, three 2.5" drives, or one drive of each size. Both the 3.5" drive slots come with silicone vibration dampening grommets.
Pros: Price. Hands down the best cheap case there is. Clean lines, nice features and buttons, USB 3.0. Well constructed small form painted inside and out. A mod builders delight.
Cons: Its less than 7" wide so no behind the board cable management.
Overall Review: You have to be a good builder to love this case. Its not easy to put everything in it and have it look good. But do it right and you will be the envy of the lan party. Its so small it cute.
