Fractal Design Unveils North Series Momentum Edition Chassis

Announcing North Series Momentum Edition—a performance-driven expression of North's transformative design, delivering Momentum-powered cooling straight out of the box.

With three Momentum fans featuring LCP blades and true FDB bearings, North Series Momentum Edition keeps high-performance components running smoothly, supported by the same iconic open front design and top mesh ventilation as the original. That performance foundation is paired with a blackened oak front and
dark alloy accents for a sleek aesthetic that integrates naturally into the gaming station.

[Editor's note: Our in-depth review of the North Momentum Edition is now live]
Inside, the series keeps the same clean, intuitive internal layout as the rest of North Series, offering flexible support for modern components in two sizes. North Momentum Edition supports graphics cards up to 355 mm in length, while North XL Momentum Edition expands GPU support up to 413 mm.

MSRP
North Momentum Edition $179.99 USD
North XL Momentum Edition $209.99 USD

I'm wondering what the objective market is for that case because I can't see myself paying 180 for it, much less 210. :confused:

This looks quite good but I would have it with the vertical bars in silver.

Or some kind of metal like color. It is a bit bland as is, unless it is pumped up with RGB.

People are happy to pay for good design and premium materials.

Good thing there are options for different target markets.

The market is full of good cases at very good prices. What's the point of this one? What makes it worh buying over the other options? Unless I'm specifically looking to buy a Fractal case there is no reason (AFAIC) to choose this one.

As an owner of the Fractal North XL in a black/brown combo there is a huge market for people who want a more aesthticly pleasing case.
Whilst full black doesnt interest me to much i went for a color combo that suits my room and doesnt make the case this stand out piece im sure there are people that do have darker rooms and dont want a typical Lian Li full glass case.

I also find most Fractal cases pleasing. Other color North cases? Only if they match the setting, like in your case. All-black North? Just no.

You might like the look of Bentley cars, I hate them. Design/aesthetics are personal choices.

True. In the words of Shakespeare:
