*** NEW Fractal Design Case - Coming Soon ***

[_SBradley_]

Is £84.98 an introductory price?

I think that's the normal price? I've seen it elsewhere for a pretty similar price, anyway. (OcOK is £5 cheaper, in fact. )

Good news everyone!

Had an email from Fractal to confirm that a 5870 WILL fit. So all those worried about 5870's not fitting, order away

This is the first case ive seen in ages that actually makes me want to buy it, looks like this could be my next case as i cant get hold of a lian li PC a05b

 

[tankskun]

im thinking black or titanium grey???? hummmmmm idk which to get.

 

[Minstadave]

I wonder if there'd be enough space for a 2x120mm rad mounted up top, anyone seen this setup?

Looks like it would be a very tight squeeze

T'would be an unusually modder oriented case to leave 6cm of headroom over the mobo to wodge in a twin rad and spinners. Not seeing the space personally.

Good review i have found.

Definitely seems like a few extra fans might be needed with this one (for anything but a low power, non-overclocked system)... I'm thinking front/front/floor as intakes and roof/roof/rear as exhausts. Who has an alternative cooling setup in mind?

 

[Geckovich]

These look great, any chance of a full tower version?

Google translate has me excited, quote from Page 4;

All food must be placed at the bottom.

Now I don't even have to go to the kitchen to get a snack when gaming, although I would prefer a storage compartment at the top of the case - bending is such a chore!

 

[daniel_bourton]

see you dont just get a case when you buy fractal you get a lot more
those crazy swedes

 

[r2d2]

I am gonna get one of those badboys for my next built. look sweet.

 

[inverseSquare]

I'm going to get one of these too

Was planning on ordering a couple more fans, extra front and 1 for the roof.

However the built-in fan controler is only for 3 fans. Is there any way (without using a 5.25 bay) to control 4 fans?



Thanks.

10 fans? haha, I would imagine that would be enough


Any idea how wide the case is in comparison to others? Can't decide if I should get a Noctua NH-U12P, worried if it'll fit ok in this new case.
