I'm running a Define 7 XL as a Truenas server. Over 100TB of storage, maximum utility and my wife likes how it looks. It does everything, even the cooling is decent.

I'll only buy Fractal Design cases.

I've had one of these babies for a few years now. I love it!

When my Sliger SM550 proves too small for my next graphic card purchase (probably a while, on a 3080), I will probably look to Fractal Design unless there's better cottage maker.

Something about the way the cases look is appealing, but there's always been something small about them that hasn't worked for my builds.

Canโ€™t encourages you enough to buy this brand. Real good products, well done and the attention of details make your case build so nice and easy. You can see they know how to build a computer. Lot of possible variations.

Iโ€™m am customer of Fractal Deign since several decades now, bough 6 or 7 cases and never had issues, very good quality product. These cases leave my house only because i donated them to my family.

I got myself a North XL last year to replace my old case, the final part to complete my PC of Theseus. Is it a new PC now, or was it a new PC already when I slowly replaced its internals along the way? Who knows, but it looks really damn sleek now.

Story time:

A friend of a friend brakes the glass panel on a his Fractal case.

The friend sends an email to Fractal Support with tye intention of trying to buy the glass panel, if it is still available for that particular case. He is being asked about the details of the case.

The next day the panel was mounted on the case... Based Fractal sent the panel ... From Scandinavia to Southern Europe ... Quite possibly air freight.... For free... For free!

I built a mini itx machine I'm using as a selfhosted AI server in the tiny* Fractal Terra case and it's awesome. Really innovative design and good quality.

*tiny in the sense it can squeeze an RTX 3090 in with 1cm to spare

Didn't know my favorite case supplier was European! Could have guessed by the design language and the Fractal "North" lol.
