I am typically inclined to look at simpler cases. - think no glass. I did this because I caught an inclination ... The case is sleek and presentable in every way you could want a case to be. The fans included are well placed and are just ready to go. I am going to love building this.


This Chassis is 3"x 1"x 4" bigger than my last tower. But it has to be about 8-10 pounds lighter. That's around a gallon of milk. As I examined this chassis, I realized you could almost put everything anywhere you want. If I remember correctly, you can put up to 10 fans in there. It has the capacity to house the oldest to the newest tech inside and the air flow is effortlessly smooth. I am impressed.

Impressed by how easy it was to swap previous build to this case. Really well thought-out layout. Larger than expected.

It was very easy to put all the components and cable manage

Everything pops off and back on -- suprisingly few screws needed

The case was plenty big for all of the components and had lots of space for hard drives (if I were to install those lol)

- Cable Management - Smart layout - Compact but fits full sized boards and full sized cards - Cohesive ecosystem


I put together a photo editing workstation PC (R9 3900X, 32GB DDR4, 1660 SUPER, 2x Seagate 4TB NAS HDDs, 2x Seagate 1TB HDDs) in this case and it was an absolute pleasure to build in. - Build quality is extremely solid - Case is modular and easy to take apart - this made the build process so much easier - Included front I/O is unmatched - few cases have this many ports at the front - HDD caddies work well to soften vibrations - No frills with RGB lighting and non-tempered glass option - Fractal doesn't force you to pay extra for features you don't need - Included fan controller is a great addition (plugs into PWM header for three included DC fans) - My case arrived with two bent HDD caddies, but Fractal support was awesome and took care of replacements immediately

I just did an mATX build in this case with the following components: i5-4690k with H100i AIO cooler ASRock Z97M OC Formula G-Skill Sniper 8GB 1866MHz nVidia GTX 770 2GB (Transferred from an older build) Samsung 840 EVO 250GB Western Digital Black 1TB Corsair RM 750 power supply This case is awesome to build in. While it is certainly a tighter fit than a full or mid tower ATX, it is still not that bad to build in. Fractal did an EXCELLENT job maximizing the capabilities in a case of this size by making use of every space available. The front panel accepts two 2.5" drives, the floor of the motherboard compartment accepts two 2.5" or 3.5" drives, and there are two HD bays which hold 4 2.5" or 3.5" drives each. This gives the case a total storage potential of up to 12 hard drives simultaneously. Obviously, if you choose to do that, there are some sacrifices. If you wish, you can remove both hard drive cages and place one on the floor on the power supply compartment. This frees up the top of the case to allow the installation of a radiator on the top in BOTH chambers of the case, plus a radiator in the front of the motherboard chamber. That means you can potentially fit up to THREE 240mm radiators in this case and still retain one of the hard drive cages if you are careful about cable and tube routing. Even if you remove both drive cages, you still have the potential to mount four drives, two of which can be 3.5". This case also presents an excellent view through the side window. I mounted a Silverstone 12" LED strip on the top of the case on the motherboard tray side. It is behind the H100i radiator and fans and it fits PERFECTLY. It is exactly the right length to fit in this case, so I highly recommend 1 or 2. The look is nothing short of stunning. Also, the onboard fan controller is functional and nice. I like being able to control fan speeds and I have 4 case fans hooked up to it (I bought an extra 140mm fan and put it in the rear of the case on the PSU side, which accepts a 140mm fan, then I moved the 120mm that was there to the front on the motherboard side. Giving two 120mm intakes and one 120mm exhaust on the MB side, plus one 140mm exhaust on the PSU side. Plus, the two radiator fans are set up as intakes on the MB side and are hooked up to the motherboard and controlled with Corsair Link. This case supports extremely high airflow levels. With all of the fans turned up, it is quite audible. But with the fans on their lowest setting and the H100i in quiet mode, the case is extremely quiet and it stays VERY cool even in this setting. This case offers more water cooling support out of the box than something like the Fractal Define R4. The R4 is intended to be used with an air cooling setup due to its massive width for a mid tower. The Node 804, on the other hand, is obviously intended to use extreme amounts of water cooling for such a small case. I'd love to do a custom loop in this case with three 240mm radiators in t


- Super roomy! - Pretty sturdy - Good ventilation

- Small - Great compatibility - Hides all cables

Release Date: 06/16/2026
Plenty of space - 2x 240rad + 1x 280rad open loop, 11 fans, full size atx motherboard, 13900k, rtx4090, 12 hdd... crazy

All the parts fit, was easy to install and the computer works like a dream! I love it!!

Sleek, intuitive, amazing value.

The modularity is more than i thought. The manual and guide are amazing. The sheer drive capacity of this thing is beyond amazing.

-spacious -easy to work on
