By far the nicest looking case other that O11 but no one can afford the O11 so this case slaps for the price.
I prefer the plain/simplistic design. You can open up a lot of room for airflow or water cooling if you don't need the removable 3.5"/5.25" bays. Even with the moduvents installed and the front door closed my 2600k and 780 ti stay cool and quiet with 2 front intake and 1 exhaust 140mm fans.
Great cable management options, sweet looking glass, all the features are useful.
Ever since I started building a PC, my first case was from Fractal Design due to the breathability and airflow of their cases. I upgraded from my Meshify C to the North and its been such a huge pleasure seeing the difference aesthetically as well. 10/10 they knocked it out the park with the North.
- Very Easy To Put Together (Open) - Large Amount of Space - 140mm/120mm Fans (Pick and choose) - Large Selection for Radiators - Semi-Ducted (Bottom Airflow is Redirected Up Using Plastic Panel) - Lots of Room For Cable Management - Cable Clips for Easy Removal of Cables Without Using Zip Ties
Great cable management. There is plenty of room for large builds. Optional vertical mount for gpu is a plus. Lots of airflow. Had no issues with build.
First time to build a PC in 25 years, and it was difficult to make some choices, as there are so many these days. Choosing this case was a shot in the dark, but I am quite pleased with my choice. This is really a nice case. It's not heavy and doesn't feel cheap. No flaws in the workmanship, including all painted metal surfaces. No sharp edges, either. Old-timers will know what I mean. Four ARGB fans are included, already mounted and wired to a small control board. The wires have extra length, and it's quite a bowl of spaghetti on the back side when you have all of stuff installed. But, most wires have twist ties, so you can move things around a bit and try things a couple of times to clean up the look before you finalize with zip ties, which are also included. There's a bag fasteners, too. Everything is black (at least for the black case), so it's a challenge for old eyes when the case, mobo, and fasteners are all black. You'll need to install 3 hex standoffs (which are included) for a full-size ATX mobo. Next, use the small fine-threaded machine screws for the mobo. The small coarse-threaded screws hold the expansion cards in place. These appear very similar to the mobo screws, so pay attention. There are also hex-head screws for a power supply, and some extras. If you have trouble with the screws, you have probably chosen the wrong ones, which might explain some of the negative comments by other reviewers. If you get the wrong screw, you'll know right away- don't force it and you won't trash the threads. The drive cage can easily pop out if you don't need it. The top surface can accommodate a 240 mm fan setup. My system has an Asus Rog Strix Z790 with Cooler Master ML240L. It was kind of a tight fit for the 2 CPU power plugs in the upper rear corner. But, the slots for the radiator screws were long enough to slide the unit all the way toward the front, and it fit. Not a lot of extra room up there. I did not attempt a vertical mount in the front. Cutouts to get cables to the back and front of the mobo are adequate. Also included is a small speaker for POST beeps. Connectors for HDD, Reset, power, and sound are pretty standard. Not all have + and - marked, but there's also an arrow on the other side for all the plugs. The tempered glass door has plastic on both sides to protect during shipping. The door can pop off easily, and it fits nice and snug. The top and bottom both have dust filters. Remove these (and the door) while you build, as they slide off easily as the case is handled. The top filter is magnetic. Again, nice fits for both and they look good, too. There are options for controlling the fan ARGB LEDs- manual and mobo-controlled. So, if your fans are only blue and white after you start up, read the instruction booklet! Or, just press the LED button down for 3 seconds, and the mobo will take over. That was the only issue I had when powering up the first time, and the answer to my problem was in the manual. The lights are cool and the fans are quiet. Of course, the last PC case I built was way back when they were beige and had noisy little fans.
This enclosure is beautiful, with square-cut modern front, side and rear panel edges Built in mounting standoffs eliminate need to add standoffs for attaching motherboard Case is rugged, but not overly heavy Air concentrating filters included
lots of room. fits tons of drives (i have 4 in it, with room for at least 4 more). intel atx board fits well coolermaster 212 EVO fits .some cable management but couldnt use. not the cases fault though. no annoying LEDs to distract you.
This is a solid upgrade if youre looking to have space but loose the bulk of a bigger case. The fans that come with it run fine and the memory storage is clean and out of the way.
Comes with 7 pre-installed ARGB fans great lighting and airflow out of the box Spacious interior supports ATX motherboards, long GPUs, and 360mm AIO coolers Tempered glass panels showcases components beautifully Good cable management space Affordable price for the features it offers
Lots of pros with this one (IMO): * plenty of room * lots of room for fans and air flow * removable panels makes installation a breeze * cable management at back with velcro straps and zip ties (provided) * the 4 bay SSD drive cabinet that swings out to allow access to rest of system is a nice tough * power button and 2 USB + type-C connections at front (and bottom) is an added bonus (for my set up) * solid built case
Very user friendly. New layout. Well thought out and very high quality. I cant recommend this case enough.
Easy front panel connections. Looks great. Front panel is at the bottom.
The case came early for me, and it was shipped with care
