Fractal Design North Mid-Tower Case with Mesh Side Panel (Charcoal Black)

The Fractal Design FD-C-NOR1C-01 is a mid-tower computer case that pairs distinctive materials with practical engineering. It offers builders a chassis that looks at home beside studio monitors, on a work desk, or under a gaming station while still delivering the airflow and clearance today’s high-performance components demand.

The front panel is crafted from real oak or walnut and detailed with either brass or steel. This mix of wood and metal gives the case a furniture-like presence, so it blends naturally into living spaces where an all-metal enclosure might feel out of place.

Cooling is handled by an open front intake and a mesh side panel, both of which feed two included 140 mm fans. If your build calls for even more airflow, the interior accepts up to six 120 mm fans or four 140 mm fans, and it supports liquid-cooling radiators up to 360 mm at the front and 240 mm on the top. These options make the case a solid choice for gaming systems, creative workstations, or any PC that runs intense workloads for long stretches.

Inside, the layout leaves room for graphics cards up to 355 mm long and air coolers up to 170 mm tall. It fits ATX, Micro-ATX, and Mini-ITX motherboards and offers seven expansion slots for multi-GPU or add-in card setups. Two combined 3.5 in / 2.5 in drive trays and two dedicated 2.5 in mounts cover common storage needs, while quick-release side, front, and top panels keep upgrades straightforward.

The front I/O section places a high-speed USB-C connector next to two USB 3.0 ports, so you can attach external drives, charging cables, and peripherals without reaching behind the system. Altogether, the North Mid-Tower Case gives builders who appreciate warm aesthetics and strong cooling an easy path to a clean, well-ventilated PC.
