The most beautiful case on the market?
I had been debating for some time about whether to get this case for my new build, since it's not particularly cheap. Ultimately I decided to go for it, and I have no regrets. The North is simply beautiful. It's absolutely the prettiest case I've ever worked with and it's a real statement piece that'll fit just as well in a living room as it will in a home office. Those walnut front fins look stunning against the black case, and I'm sure the white case with oak fins will absolutely suit the right space also. The cable management experience has been excellent. My build involved plenty of velcro and cable ties, and there's plenty of anchor points on the hidden side of the case to make cable routing a breeze. There's also lots of cable management channels to ensure that any cables connecting to the motherboard side come out exactly where they are needed, eliminating any slack and keeping things looking very tidy. I got the mesh-sided version due to my aversion to tempered glass, and not really caring too much about looking inside the case at flashy RGB components any more. Therefore, you can't really see too much into the case with that mesh panel, but it gives an added bonus of an optional two fans to bring additional cooling to the motherboard and graphics card. Speaking of which, the case seems plenty spaceous enough for any (non-extended) ATX motherboard and I doubt there are many graphics cards on the market that won't fit inside this thing. My RX 9070 XT certainly seemed fine in there with space to spare for even lengthier cards. As just a chassis, it's a case of bring-your-own-fans, but there are two fans in the front panel, and they're certainly no louder than the CPU cooler and case fans I put in, so no issues there! Lastly, in addition to looking amazing, it all seems very sturdy and well-built too, and I can imagine it'll last for a very long time. Overall this is an amazing case, and I'd say it was worth the money for all of the listed things, and for the smile it brings to just look at it.

Blown away - amazing case
Overclockers were messing around with a pre ordered Corsair 400D wood, so I cancelled and went for the real thing. Amazon had best price and once I'd added to the basket it dropped to £99! The case looks amazing. Well built, easy access, fantastic build quality. Only thing to watch out for is to ensure your board has a connection for the USB c on the front panel. I have my case to the left of the monitor so wasn't bothered about a glass panel, was nice to find this case had a mesh option, making the already good cooling even better. I normally like to stick CPU, GPU etc stickers on a case, but honestly this is so good looking, I'm not going to this time.

Really nice looking.
I was a tad worried the wood effect would look cheap but this is a genuinely nice case. If you're building a living room PC or your office is full of dark wood furniture this will really fit in nicely. Fairly easy case to work with so no complaints there, I probably wouldn't use it for a high end build that would run hot (think 80 series GPUs and above) but for a normal mid range desktop/light gaming rig I'd buy another in a heartbeat.

Great build quality and looks to match
Wow, this case is incredible and so much fun to work with! It fits my double fan radiator and even a beefy 4080 graphics card without a problem. Looks incredible, and while it's expensive, I absolutely think it's worth it in the end. The temperatures are also fantastic.

Looks amazing
This computer case looks beautiful. The wood finish on the front really makes the design. The case is well sized, just big enough to fit an RTX 4090. Very easy to install the parts as it's very modular, if you need extra space or find that you don't need the drive bays you can simply unscrew them and they can be taken out. I think this is a very good value product as it appears to be a full metal construction, comes with decent quiet fans and removable dust filters to make cleaning easy. The airflow in the case is more than adequate and works very well at removing the heat output of my components.

Nice Design
This is a very nice looking case. Nice clicky power button which feels it will stand the riggers of use. Separate jacks for headphone and mic. Easy cable management and an easy case to work in. Can hardly hear the case fans. Side panel is easily scratched so be careful. Top panel is only held on by a magnet so be careful when picking the case up. Thumb screws feel cheap and are not that great to use. Its a while since I have built a new PC and a few things were missing from the case that would have been standard the last time I bought one. Such as No Reset switch and No HDD activity LED. Over all though I am very happy with the case.

Lovely and easy to build into
I've just finished new build using an i9 14900k and a 4070 GPU - and air cooled with Noctua fans throughout. I got the mesh version because, as a photographer, I need to keep the light in my room constant and free from distraction and therefore won't benefit from RGB -- this also means I didn't need to worry so much about super-neat cable management, although it's still pretty tidy. Besides, I don't want my workspace to look like a teenage gamer's bedroom. It is very nicely made, feels solid although somewhat heavy. I also think it looks better in real life than it does in photos. The only negative is that the USB-c connector wasn't working -- this was quickly remedied by dropping an email to Fractal Design, who shipped me a new i/o unit; a pain to fit but now it works fine. Overall I'm happy.

Clásico, minimalista, elegante y excepcionalmente práctico.
Sinceramente ya le había echado el ojo a esta caja desde hace tiempo, es bastante venerada por la comunidad, pero no me esperaba que se convirtiera en mi favorita. El diseño es lo que ves; elegante y minimalista, pero es también es excepcionalmente práctica y modular. Puedes desmontar o abrir la caja en distintas secciones con facilidad, lo cual lo hace una tremenda maravilla para la limpieza y el mantenimiento. Sin embargo, lo que me lo vendió personalmente fue la posibilidad de pedirla con un panel de malla en lugar de cristal templado. También cabe destacar que si seleccionas esta opción, te vendra con una plataforma opcional para anclar más ventiladores al lateral, cosa que la versión de cristal templado no incluye.

🤩 NON E' UN CASE, E' UN'OPERA D'ARTE 🤩
🙂 Preso perché me ne sono innamorato e, avendo bisogno di uno nuovo pc per lavorare con qualche video, ho approfittato di una piccola flessione di prezzo. 🚛 SPEDIZIONE: Preso, nuovo, sul marketplace dal rivenditore OVERCLOCK Technologies che si è anche occupato della spedizione. Tutto perfetto, pacco arrivato prima di quanto indicato. Per precisione, avevo scelto la versione mesh, ma è stato spedito il modello con il vetro. Dopo un velocissimo passaggio con il venditore, abbiamo convenuto di non procedere con il reso. 📦 PACCO E CONTENUTO: La confezione è protetta da una scatola di cartone (che già lei è figa considerando che l’interno è stampato con il logo della Fractal), risulta essere compatta e tutto è perfettamente ordinato. All’interno troviamo il case, protetto da due elementi in spugna spessa bianca ed avvolto in una busta in plastica, la scatola con la viteria, il libretto delle istruzioni. Il case è solido, ma non a livello, per esempio, del Phanteks Eclipse P600S. Si smonta completamente, ma sul top NON è presente la griglia sulla quale montare le ventole o il radiatore dell’AIO fuori dal case per poi inserire tutto più agevolmente. Ci sono due filtri antipolvere, uno frontale e uno posto sotto, da dove prende aria l'alimentatore. Non è previsto per il top, come a dire che di là l'aria deve uscire e non entrare. Sono presenti 2 ventole preinstallate da 140 sull’anteriore. Si poteva fare di meglio. 🪛 INSTALLAZIONE: Comodo, pur essendo un mid tower con qualche limitazione, a volte inevitabili altre invece… . Io ho montato una mobo ATX, il Noctua NH-D15 chromax.black, la RTX A4000 e l’alimentatore della MSI MPG A1000G, mentre per migliorare il flusso in uscita dell’aria calda, ho installato una ventola da 120, ARTIC P12 PWM PST. Tutto entra alla perfezione. Il cable managment è buono, non il migliore, ad esempio le fascette in velcro sono presenti solo sulla parte sinistra della parete posteriore mentre sulla destra c’è la predisposizione per utilizzarne ulteriori (5 mt di velcro nero costano davvero poco, consiglio l’acquisto), così come sulla parte superiore che inferiore. In dotazione ci sono alcune fascette in plastica, ma preferisco quelle in velcro, meglio se già installate. 🚀 PRESTAZIONI: Considerando che davanti è praticamente libero, ci sono le bacchette di legno che non influiscono sulla capacità delle ventole di spingere aria fresca all’interno del case, che il top è meshato, che dietro si può installare una ventola da 120 e che l’alimentare pesca aria fresca dal basso, possiamo considerare l’airflow ottimo. Certo, se vuoi montare un dissipatore a liquido da 360 devi accontentarti di posizionarlo sul fronte (personalmente non mi piace l’idea di spingere aria calda nel case) perché sul top c’è spazio al massimo per un 240, e questo potrebbe essere insufficiente a tenere a bada i processori top di gamma, in particolare gli i9 12/13/14 generazione intel, che sono piccoli forni, così come gli ultimi AMD che pure loro non scherzano. Una capitolo a parte lo si deve invece alle porte USB presenti sul top, al fianco del pulsante di accensione. Al netto della bellezza, sono dorate, devo ammettere che mi ha sorpreso trovare “solo” la versione 3.0 per le 2 Type-A (adesso conosciute come USB 3.2 Gen 1x1 a 5Gbps) e 1 USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C (ora conosciute come 3.2 Gen 1x2 a 10Gbps). Francamente mi aspettavo qualcosa di più da un case recente, tipo 2 USB 3.2 Gen 2x1 a 10Gbps e 1 USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 a 20Gbps. Aggiungo che la denominazione delle USB è bella che confusa ormai! 😰 DIFETTI: Non parlerei di difetti quanto di mancanze, quelle di cui ho parlato sopra. L’impossibilità di montare un dissipatore da 360 sul top, la mancanza di qualche fascetta per il cable management e le porte USB non di ultimissima generazione e la mancanza di una ventola nel retro, che a quel che costa il case avrebbero potuto montarla. 👉 CONCLUSIONI: Lo consiglio, perché al netto di alcune mancanze è figo. Mettilo nel tuo studio, che tu sia architetto o direttore creativo, avrai un oggetto d’arredamento, oltre ad uno strumento di lavoro che al suo interno può ospitare, quasi, tutto quello che rende un PC super performante. A Fractal, però, contesto il fatto di utilizzare, nella pagine del sito (ma pure su Amazon) dedicata a questo modello, foto nelle quali è presente nel case un piccolo fan hub che nella realtà non è previsto. Un po’ ingannevole, se compri senza leggere tutte le specifiche di quello che ti arriva a casa. 👍 PRO: Estetica, robustezza, cable management, qualità generale dei materiali 👎 CONTRO: AIO sul top max 240, USB, 🖥️ LA BUILD MOBO: ASUS PROART B760-CREATOR WIFI CPU: Intel i7 13700k COOLER: Noctua NH-D15 chromax.black RAM: CORSAIR VENGEANCE DDR5 RAM 64GB (2x32GB) 5600MHz CL40 SSD SISTEMA: Crucial P5 Plus 2TB SSD GPU: NVIDIA RTX A4000 16GB ALIMENTATORE: MSI MPG A1000G PCIE5 CASE: FRACTAL NORTH CHARCOAL BLACK TEMPERED GLASS DARK
