"There are not many cases out there with this type
of design, and if there are it is likely they are not
going to have the same type of quality you are
going to get from Fractal Design"

"Fractal Design continues to turn heads in the

chassis space for all the right reasons. The Swedish
firm’s designs have managed to alter our perception
of the traditional PC case, and the biggest problem
for fans of the brand is that there are multiple eye-
catching options to choose from. A nice problem to
have."

having mesh on the side is very appealing to me,
especially with the monster coolers on modern
