Fractal Design North XL Charcoal Black Mesh- three 140mm Aspect PWM fans included- Type C USB- EATX airflow full tower PC gaming case

The Fractal North XL completely changed the feel of my setup. I wanted something that looked clean and modern without the typical “gamer spaceship” look, and this was exactly it. The wood front panel and overall design make it look way more premium in person than in photos. Building in it was genuinely enjoyable. There’s loads of space to work with, cable management was easy, and airflow has been excellent even with high-end components installed. Everything feels really thought through. What surprised me most is how well it balances aesthetics and performance. Usually cases either look good or cool well, but this does both. My system stays cool and quiet, and the larger XL size gives plenty of room for future upgrades without feeling cramped. If you want a case that looks mature, expensive, and still performs properly, I’d 100% recommend it. One of my favourite parts of the whole build.

An amazing-looking PC case that is both aesthetically impressive and built to a high standard. The ports feel solid, cable routing is excellent, and airflow is great thanks to the included 140mm fans and mesh side panel. There is plenty of interior space, and all included extras were well packaged. Overall, the case combines excellent functionality, strong build quality, and clean design. I also recently purchased a second-hand Fractal AIO. After contacting the company, they sent me the missing AMD mounting bracket free of charge with fast and helpful customer service. Because of that experience, I will definitely continue buying from Fractal in the future.

A year on since i bought this case and to my mind its near perfect. I’ve owned 4 Fractal Design cases and they are just great. This one is good looking. Plenty of room in the XL, well organised for cabling and documentation is great. Niggles; the top grill comes off too easily and the thumb screws are as good as they used to be, tight and can be completely removed. Ive got a large graphic card so using this bracket which is designed for the North XL to secure it , search “Fractal Design North XL GPU bracket” on Etsy.

Easy to build it and looks very clean perfect style for me

Build quality is outstanding. Cable management is a dream, airflow is excellent and the included fans are genuinely good. The aesthetic is clean and understated without looking generic. One of the best cases I've owned, absolutely worth the price.

Excellent build quality, and easy to work in. Plenty of room for an AIO at the top. The hub (PWM) supports only four fans, but my AIO had its own hub anyway. I have both the mesh and glass XL versions and love them both. You'll hear the fans, it's not a Be Quiet case after all, but I can live with it. Which makes it all the more disappointing that DPD apparently drop-kicked it in their depot and put a big dent in the back panel mesh. Please stop using DPD for delivery. That's why you got four stars not five.

Amazing case made by Fractal. Extremely high quality with no sharp edges and with very professional looks, will fit everything into it, including GPUs up to 413mm! It even has 2 USB-A and an USB-C port at the top. It also has great airflow, It comes with quiet 3 140mm fans that also are already plugged into the included fan hub in the back. There is also loads of space available in the back for cable management.

Just completed an ATX build in this case. Fractal have probably the widest style options for self builders who aren't looking for a 'fishtank' solution. The North XL is large but not massive and solidly put together. Coming from mid tower cases of the past this is a real pleasure to work on with loads of space around the board. I have the mesh option and airflow through this case is fantastic (no pun intended). There are multiple mounting points and under low stress the onboard fans - coupled with those on the CPU cooler - make this build quieter than my previous water cooled PC. Note that at or close to idle, the case fans didn't register rpm on my motherboard (MSI Z790 Tomahawk Max) but did once the fan speed increased. This isn't a fault with the fan header. Looks are as expected and this is a stand out design that wouldn't look out of place in a corporate setting - a real wolf in sheeps clothing. It's expensive but not excesively so given features and performance (though a 4th fan - mounted as a rear exhaust - would have been a nice inclusion).

Es un gabinete elegante y soporta varios ventiladores. El precio es caro, la calidad del metal no es tan buena, ya que se dobla fácilmente. Soporta disipadores altos como los de Noctua. Además trae espacio para tarjetas como la rtx 5070 ti. En general es un buen gabinete pero tiene varias áreas de mejora, debería de traer el fan bracket lateral.

+ Nice finish + Good internal layout (easy to make a hidden cable management) + Rubber distances for HDD mounting included. + Informative manual

Siempre me han gustado las cajas para PC "distintas" las he tenido totalmente transparentes en los 90s, incluso he llegado a tener un PC construido dentro de un cajón de escritorio, esta es de esas "minimalistas" estuve por pillar una Corsair a la que se le pueden colocar paneles de madera, pero se subía mucho de precio y esta me llamó la atención, me recordó a los diseños de IKEA y como en el salón tengo madera me atrajo la verdad. Tengo que decir, que antes de comprarla también vi un video en youtube de un unboxing con su review, esta es la XL y queria estar seguro de que me iba a entrar todo sin problema, la gráfica es enorme y el disipador de la CPU también. Trae detalles, como en otras cajas que se precien hoy en día, la tornillería, las correas, las cintas y en esta también una bandeja lateral para colocar 2 ventiladores auxiliares para refrigerar la gráfica o bien la CPU, en mi caso no la he colocado No es blanca "blanco nieve" a ver, es como color hueso o blanco huevo y el interior tampoco es que sea negro, he montado otras cajas blancas con el interior igualmente blanco, pero en esta es mas bien gris oscuro, que en la mía no se ve porque es cerrada sin ventana, el lateral es Mesh (panel micro agujereado) la parte superior igualmente es una maya. Trae 3 ventiladores de 120 PWM en el frontal (que se pueden retirar) yo le colocado otros 2 de 140 uno detras y otro arriba., le he colocado también otro de 80 sujeto por fuera detrás de la gráfica para ayudar a extraer el aire caliente cuando esté a tope. No está insonorizada, pero tampoco es ruidosa al tener ventiladores de 140 (incluidos los de la CPU) que son mas silenciosos, unas buenas patas de goma y topes también de goma para los discos duros (si los pones) eso sí el aire fluye que da gusto, es muy fresca. A la hora de montar y desmontar es fácil, son tornillos de palometa que se pueden quitar con los dedos o incluso la tapa superior que se desliza hacia atrás sin tornillos (tiene una lengüeta de piel) En resumen, muy buena estética y diseño, que la puedes poner en una sala o salón sin que te parta la vista, jejejejjj.

This computer case is not just a purchase; it's a centerpiece that demands attention! The front panel's wooden finish is simply stunning, adding a touch of elegance to its robust build. Easy access to all components and effective dust filters on both the bottom and the front panel ensure that the system stays clean and breathes freely. Inspired by its design, I'm now considering a whole new decor theme for my apartment to match this case's blend of modernity and functionality. It's definitely a game-changer for how I view my living space!

Das Fractal Design North XL überzeugt für mich vor allem durch sein schlichtes, hochwertiges Design und die sehr gute Verarbeitung. Es bietet extrem viel Platz, wodurch der Einbau auch mit großen Komponenten, einer großen Grafikkarte oder einer 360-mm-AIO angenehm unkompliziert ist. Der Airflow ist ebenfalls hervorragend. Gerade für leistungsstarke Hardware ist das Gehäuse ideal, ohne dass es wie ein Jahrmarkt leuchtet und man beim Einschalten Angst haben muss, einen epileptischen Anfall zu bekommen. Für meinen Geschmack gibt es aktuell kaum ein besseres Gehäuse, wenn man Wert auf Qualität, Platz, gute Kühlung und ein elegantes Design legt.
