Fractal Design North Review
Packaging & Contents »Introduction
I would like to thank Fractal Design for supplying the review sample.
Fractal has recently been focused on expanding their product range with new lines of enclosures. This includes the Pop, the Ridge and now their North family. The North aims to provide a compact ATX chassis with a unique perforated side and real wood aesthetics. Available in a black or white exterior hue, you also get to pick between that perforated or glass paneled version. We received the perforated variant in white for review.
