PC cases have definitely evolved since I built my first PC. While they were pretty plain back then, now we have tempered glass everywhere, RGB lighting, and much more! Well Fractal Design has a new case, which they say is targeted towards gamers, who also consider themselves adults. I guess at 38 I am an adult so this has to be the case for me! The Fractal Design North has one of the more interesting designs that I’ve seen on a PC case lately, with its sort of minimalistic style and real wood front paneling. If you are looking for something different than the norm, which will also be functional and provide good airflow this might be the case for you, read on as we take a look!
Special thanks to Fractal Design for providing us with the North case to review.
Specifications
Packaging
The North comes in your standard case box that simply says “North” on it.
Opening the box up we find the case nicely protected and there is a large box of accessories.

When it comes to the accessories you get mounting hardware, a handful of zip ties, a fan bracket, and a user’s guide. The fan bracket supports two 120/140mm fans and can be installed on the side panel of the case.
