This new Arc Series Midi Tower format offers plenty of cooling options, up to 8 fans of various sizes can be installed. Unique for its small size, it also offers room to mount a thick, dual 120mm radiator in the top panel.
Elegant top and front panels are both easily removable and pre-fitted with fan filters to ensure a dust free interior. The sleek black interior is matched and contrasted with white expansion slots and HDD trays. Similar to the Define Series, all the HDD trays are fitted with anti-vibration silicon grommets. The upper HDD cage is removable and rotatable, which enables support for even the longest graphic cards.
Tangled cables are a thing of the past as the Arc Series offers an innovative, convenient, and great looking way to hide them away. The motherboard mounting plate has rubber covered holes in which you can easily route the cables to a compartment behind the motherboard, which has more than ample storage space.

I’ve bought antec and cooler master cases in the past. I can tell they’ve put some thought into the design. I’ve heard good things about fractal and wanted to see for myself.
This is one of the worst cases I’ve ever bought. Where do I begin?

i may be spoiled by antec and corsair in the past, because after working with this fractal case, which is my first, and probably last time, cause i would not buy again, and i will tell people to stay away, the bag of screws and nuts were not the right length and pitch, it cross threaded a bunch, so i had to dig up my old antec screws to use on this, the hdd bays seems like they are welded on that caddy, it took so much force to slide out, and i bent some when i took it out, the the side panel was hard to slide in and out too, this case frustrated me for hours, it seemed flimsy and overall metal and construction was poor quality, go with a antec or corsair even if its a little more money, they are worth the hassle

This is one of the best cases I have ever owned. All the fan intakes are filtered. The extra inch width makes it super easy to fit/move/remove components. The quality of the build is extremely good. It will fit a full size 240mm, 60mm deep Rad with push pull fans in the top of the case with no modifications and is slightly off to the side in case you have high ram. Fully tool less design all thumb screws. Lots of room behind the MB tray for cable management.
Got this case to replace my 11 year old Lian-Li full tower aluminum case as I needed something that would accommodate my H100 and larger fans. This case is short and wide, giving lots of room to maneuver and hide PSU cables and other wires. Tons of fan mounting options, also includes 3 140mm fans with the case; pretty much the only place you can't mount a fan is on the side panel behind the motherboard plate. Paired with my H100 keeps my CPU and motherboard cool at 25C idle and 38C under load with an i5 3570K O/C'ed to 4.5GHz. My only complaint is the cheap plastic top and front case panels, and the overall construction of the case being steel instead of aluminum. Also, the top panel would not fit back on after fitting the H100, had to remove the washers from the mounting screws to lower their height in order to fit the top back on correctly.

This is the first case/build I have bought and I am very pleased with the outcome. I even painted the IO shield that come with my MB to match the white/black ext. colours. Looks damn good.
Long time corsair case user, this Fractal is a bit more than the 300R, but has more options, filters and overall, has a better quality look to it. I placed a Gigabyte Z68X-UD3H-B3 (black motherboard), and accented the interior of the system with Power Cooling white modular power supply and white corsair vengeance low profile ram, along with the stock white drive rails and the white fans, this case is really beautiful on the inside. Great cable management, and the ability to hold up to 7 fans (I used three stock fans...moving the top fan to front, for a total of 2 front intake fans, then used Corsair H-100 with 2 x 120 intake on top ( the addition of the top air filter here was perfect to keep rad clean of dust)and kept 140mm exhaust fan in rear. The 3 fans included with the case are controlled by the included 3 channel fan controller, and the two fans on the H-100 controlled by settings on the cpu block. With all five fans running, even at high settings, system is very quiet. System is overclocked from 3300 MHz to 3700Mhz and the temps do not exceed 45 degrees at 100 OCCT test loads. Currently, free shipping on entire order, which typically saves you enough to pay for the case. This case definitely hits a home run for value, looks and performance!!!
