My two desktop machines are in a Node 202 and a Pop. I built a computer in a Meshify for my cousin, and it's my favorite case of them all, there weren't any in the size I wanted anywhere in the goddamn world when I went parts shopping for my machine so I wound up with a Pop.
Another American here who is a huge fan of theirs. I have only bought fractal cases since 2011, and I have never regretted it.
Any time I see a good small company that wonโt be messed up by this โgovernmentโ we have going on, thatโs a plus.
Iโve been using their 600W PSU since 2013. Just got their North case for a rebuild after having the Define of the same age.
Their products have appealed to me for a long time.
I love my North. Solid front panel IO, good airflow, ample storage mounts, good grommets on cable routing holes, good documentation... and it looks sexy as hell!
How about their chairs? I'm really tempted on the Refine model.
North owner here, it's an elegant case, would recommend if you don't need a ton of HDD bays! :]
Same here. It's easily the nicest looking single object in my office, still enjoy the look of it after 3 years.
After some stupid gamer cases I splugred on a north. High quality case that doesn't fall apart during assembly, cut you nor have usb ports that stop working in a month. Temps are good after blocking off the huge vented side as well . It's the best case I've had so far and I've historically used meme cases since 2008 onward.
I've always been buying Fractal. Didn't even know they're European. That's awesome.
I'm American and I've only ever bought their cases since I started PC building. I even have an AIO CPU cooler from them that's still working perfectly after 7 years.
I've loved my experience with Fractal so far. The case was much easier to build in than my previous essentially noname brand (BitFenix). I also love the looks on both the Fractal Define and Meshify series. But at the end of the day, while your case choice might affect noise and thermals a lot, let's be honest, the biggest part of a case is how it looks, so all the high-end manufacturers make really good cases, get whichever one you fancy. BeQuiet I hear is also very nice.
Jesus fucking Christ they spent all that money on a slick interface that is absolutely fucking useless on mobile!
What problems do you have? It works perfectly fine on my phone.
It linked directly to a chair and when I tried to change photos, the sub bar on the right stayed there and wouldn't even switch pictures. The rest of the site was greyed out and completely unresponsive.
Site works perfectly fine for me, with Firefox on android
Really cool designs on the Cases, definitely keeping them in mind next time I'm in the market for a case.
BeQuiet, Phanteks, and Noctua are also European btw!
BeQuiet is based in Glinde, Schleswig-Holstein in Germany, Phanteks is from Rotterdam in the Netherlands. Noctua is based in Vienna, Austria.
I bought a BeQuiet case last year to replace a cheap Chinese hotbox, and it's great. Cool, quiet, roomy, good material quality, and not that much more expensive than the case it replaced.
They've always been known for their amazing quality
Noctua has never disappointed me. Have used the same tower cooler for 12 years now and still performs great! Also love their fans!
i was really pleasantly surprised by the well thought out manual that came with my case. It felt ... intimate idk. just adding to the choir here
Have several. Meshify series is definitely a favorite.
I absolutely love the fractal cases. I build PCs pretty consistently and they're really the only brand I use anymore
This makes me love them more <3
Iโve got a couple of their cases. The designs are excellent, highly flexible, well built, and aesthetically pleasing. I am honestly happy to pay a premium for that. Iโm also happy to support a European company.
Coincidentally, my fractal north xl arrived this friday. A bit pricey but really solid product.
Hooray for Fractal!!! \o/
I adore my Node 202. Fits a giant 3090 in 10 liters. No case fans: everything is filtered/ducted with a bit of foam, so itโs so cool\quiet the few fans it has shut down when idle.
The whole case is super sturdy. It was reasonably priced. It fits in carry on!:
Iโve had their Define R5 case for years and absolutely love it. Solid, modular, easy to work with.
I have a Fractal North and absolutely love it. Really high quality components and supporting a Scandinavian company.

Please share if you have any alternative manufacturing similar products in Europe
There are companies making racks in europe but no clue for desktop cases. This sub could be a good place to find about them but it seem more focus on promoting non-americans companies
