The DIYPC DIY-ATX28-Wood is a black ATX mid-tower gaming PC case with a walnut wood front panel, tempered-glass side panel, four pre-installed 140mm PWM fans, and support for ATX, Micro ATX, and ITX motherboards. It suits gamers and builders seeking strong airflow with a distinctive workspace-friendly design.
Recommended For
- Best for design-conscious desktop users who want a gaming PC that fits a home office, study, or living-space setup better than a conventional RGB-focused case; the walnut front panel and tempered-glass side panel are the main reasons to choose it.
- Best for DIY builders assembling a standard ATX, Micro ATX, or Mini-ITX gaming desktop who want room for a long graphics card, a tall air cooler, and multiple case fans without moving to a full tower.
- Best for value-oriented first-time PC builders who prefer a straightforward build with four pre-installed PWM fans, front USB-C, and dedicated space behind the motherboard for cable routing rather than paying extra for premium case materials or advanced lighting controls.
- Best for gaming or creator-PC builders planning a top-mounted liquid cooler, because the chassis supports radiators up to 360 mm while retaining compatibility with full-size ATX components.
Real-World Use Scenarios
- A user building a gaming PC with a full-size ATX motherboard, long graphics card, and large air or liquid CPU cooler can use this case as a relatively spacious mid-tower foundation. The layout is intended to accommodate graphics cards up to 380 mm, CPU coolers up to 178 mm, and a top-mounted radiator up to 360 mm, but exact component dimensions should still be checked before assembly.
- A gamer or creator running demanding workloads for extended periods can start with the four included 140 mm PWM fans and add fans or a top radiator later. In practice, this provides a usable cooling baseline while leaving room to tune airflow as the CPU and GPU load, noise level, and cooling hardware change.
- A first-time PC builder can use the case for an ATX, Micro ATX, or Mini ITX build without immediately committing to a compact form factor. The hidden cable-routing channel and space behind the motherboard are designed to make power and front-panel wiring easier to organize, helping the finished system look cleaner through the tempered-glass side panel.
- A user furnishing a visible home-office or gaming workspace can choose this case when appearance matters alongside standard PC compatibility. The walnut wood front panel and tempered-glass side panel make the computer easier to coordinate with furniture and display internal components, while the black steel chassis keeps the design closer to a conventional desktop than an open-frame case.
- A user planning future upgrades can use the case for a standard ATX platform with seven expansion slots, two 3.5-inch bays, and one 2.5-inch bay. This suits a build that may later add a larger graphics card, extra SATA storage, or additional cooling, although the available drive bays are limited compared with larger full-tower cases.
- A user who frequently connects external storage, phones, cameras, or accessories can use the top-mounted I/O panel for easier access without reaching behind the computer. The front-facing USB 3.0 ports, USB Type-C port, and audio connections are practical for a desktop placed beside or under a desk, provided the motherboard supports the required internal USB headers.
Reference Q&A
Q: Is the DIYPC DIY-ATX28-Wood or Fractal Design North better for an ATX gaming build?
A: Choose the DIYPC DIY-ATX28-Wood when included cooling and component clearance are priorities. It includes four 140 mm PWM fans, supports graphics cards up to 380 mm, CPU coolers up to 178 mm, and a top-mounted radiator up to 360 mm. The Fractal Design North is the better fit when you prefer a more compact chassis with published professional airflow testing, a refined wood-slat design, and a 355 mm GPU limit. Both support ATX, Micro ATX, and Mini-ITX motherboards.
Q: Should I choose the DIYPC DIY-ATX28-Wood or Lian Li A3-mATX Wood for a compact build?
A: Choose the Lian Li A3-mATX Wood for portability and a smaller desk footprint. Its 26.3-liter chassis supports Micro ATX or Mini-ITX motherboards and can use ATX, SFX, or SFX-L power supplies, but it requires a more space-conscious build. Choose the DIYPC DIY-ATX28-Wood when you need standard ATX motherboard support, a taller CPU cooler limit of 178 mm, seven expansion slots, easier cable routing, and four pre-installed 140 mm fans.
Q: Is the DIYPC DIY-ATX28-Wood enough, or should I move up to the Fractal Design North XL?
A: The DIYPC DIY-ATX28-Wood is sufficient for most ATX gaming systems and is easier to justify when you want a mid-tower footprint, four included 140 mm fans, and a top 360 mm radiator mount. Move up to the Fractal Design North XL when you need E-ATX support, more internal build space, graphics cards up to 413 mm, a 420 mm front radiator, or a larger custom cooling setup. The North XL is substantially larger, so its extra capacity is most useful for high-end or expansion-heavy builds.
Q: Should I buy the DIYPC DIY-ATX28-Wood or a Fractal Design Terra for a portable PC?
A: Choose the Fractal Design Terra for portability: it is a 10.4-liter Mini-ITX case designed for SFX or SFX-L power supplies and compact graphics cards. Choose the DIYPC DIY-ATX28-Wood for performance-first desktop use, with support for ATX, Micro ATX, and Mini-ITX boards, standard ATX power supplies up to 220 mm, graphics cards up to 380 mm, CPU coolers up to 178 mm, and four pre-installed fans. The DIYPC case offers broader component compatibility, while the Terra requires a carefully planned small-form-factor build.
Q: Will this case fit my motherboard, graphics card, CPU cooler, and power supply?
A: It supports ATX, Micro ATX, and Mini ITX motherboards. Component limits are up to 380 mm for the graphics card, 178 mm for the CPU cooler, and 220 mm for the ATX power supply. Check your specific component dimensions before purchasing, especially if using a front-mounted radiator or unusually large cables.
Q: Does this case provide enough cooling for a gaming PC?
A: It includes four pre-installed 140 mm PWM fans: three at the front and one at the rear. The case can support up to ten fans and a top-mounted radiator up to 360 mm, so it is suitable for gaming systems that need strong airflow. Actual cooling performance will still depend on the CPU, graphics card, fan setup, and radiator thickness.
Q: Can I install a 360 mm liquid cooler in this case?
A: Yes. The top of the case supports a radiator up to 360 mm. Confirm the radiator’s total thickness, including fans, and check clearance with the motherboard and memory modules because radiator compatibility can vary by hardware layout.
Q: How many fans are included, and can I add more later?
A: Four 140 mm black PWM fans are pre-installed: three in the front and one at the rear. Additional fan positions support up to three 120 mm or 140 mm fans at the top and up to three 120 mm fans in the power-supply area, for a stated maximum capacity of ten fans.
Q: Does the case have modern front-panel connectivity and room for storage drives?
A: The top-mounted I/O panel includes two USB 3.0 ports, one USB Type-C port, and HD audio input/output. Internally, it provides two 3.5-inch drive bays and one 2.5-inch drive bay. The case does not include a power supply.
Q: Can the DIYPC DIY-ATX28-Wood accommodate a high-end ATX gaming build?
A: Generally yes, provided the components stay within the case limits: GPU length up to 380 mm, CPU cooler height up to 178 mm, PSU length up to 220 mm, and a top radiator up to 360 mm. A Reddit build using this case lists an RTX 5080, Ryzen 7 9800X3D, 360 mm liquid cooler, and 1000 W PSU, although that post does not independently verify thermals or every clearance detail.

Q: Is the DIYPC DIY-ATX28-Wood suitable for a first-time PC builder?
A: It is suitable for a first build if the builder wants a conventional ATX mid-tower layout. The case supports ATX, Micro ATX, and ITX motherboards, includes four pre-installed 140 mm PWM fans, and provides rear cable-routing space. Beginners should still verify GPU, CPU-cooler, radiator, and PSU clearances before ordering components. ([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/PC_Builders/comments/1vej58v/just_built_my_first_pc_on_my_own_want_to_hear/?utm_source=openai))
Q: What is the main trade-off of choosing this case: appearance or airflow?
A: The main trade-off is the wood-front aesthetic versus potentially less direct front intake than a fully mesh case. Reddit discussions about similar DIYPC wood and solid-front cases mention airflow limitations and front-panel cleaning concerns. This model includes three front and one rear 140 mm PWM fans and supports additional fans, but the available discussions do not provide independent thermal testing for the DIY-ATX28-Wood. ([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/comments/1lws6qm?utm_source=openai))
Q: Is this a good choice if I want a Fractal North-style wood appearance at a lower tier?
A: It is a reasonable choice for buyers who prioritize a walnut-style front panel, tempered glass, USB Type-C, included fans, and ATX compatibility. Reddit users compare DIYPC wood cases with the Fractal North and describe them as budget alternatives, but the discussions also indicate that buyers should expect fewer independent reviews and less documented build quality than with better-established case brands.
