This is a ATX Mid Tower case. I can see a lot of room inside. It is very easy to fill the components. The mesh panel and the pre-installed fans also good for components stay cool. The tempered glass side panel is another highlight. It opens like a door, which is super convenient for accessing your components. Plus, it adds a sleek, modern look to your setup, allowing you to showcase all your internal hardware. It is so convenient since the power and reset buttons, USB, and audio ports are on the top of the case.
Room to install two radiators: 280mm on the side and 240mm on the bottom
This case is pure quality. Extremely good airflow, tons of room Looks beautiful This thing is EXTREMELY solid, strong steel, strong glass, they skimped on nothing in this
Item came in very quick no damages 10/10 would buy again
Specs: AMD 9700x Asus B650E - I Crucial - Pro Overclocking 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5 6000MHz C36 RTX 4080 FE 2TB + 1TB Crucial M.2 ID-COOLING Frostflow X 280mm Corsair 850 2023SF Series SF850 I have tried a couple of SFF cases, including the NR200. This Era 2 case keeps it slim, sleek, stylish, and easy to work with...more importantly, it performed the best. Keeps my 9700x (65w) and 4080 FE @ good temperatures with headroom. I think the key is going with a 280mm aio for better airflow and lower noise. I went with the ID Cooling X 280 and fits perfectly. The possibility to upgrade the 140mm fans to a noctua or similar performance could further improve temp performance. This was a quick and straightforward build, but plan your builds, measure twice, front panel cables are not very long, going with a non rgb device helps reduce management. This is meant to use AIO's, but plenty of choices if going with low profile air coolers. Going with single braided psu cables will also help, corsair sf 850w comes with it. Exclude using 2.5 ssd and omit the ssd cage for better airflow if build permits. I am very happy with the looks and performance of this case, Fractal really took it to heart to get the ERA 2 right. Is it perfect, nah, but is it good for the size. Absolutely.
Very good room to work in. Highly adaptable to put your hardware wherever you need to or want to. Cord management is good enough to fit your cords in the back and plenty of grommets/cutout. Very good to include an easy hookup for your case for the hookups for power/reset into the motherboard
-This case is BIG, but makes the PC build process so much easier with plenty of room to navigate and move things into their mounting positions. -The top is slanted so makes it nice to keep clutter from accumulating on top of the case. -The option to horizontally or vertically mount the GPU is nice. Just be forewarned that if you decide to vertically mount that you will have to buy the riser cable. -Cable management is made very easy with this case!
- Well built, quality materials and finish - Excellent airflow and extremely quiet - 3 x be quiet! fans are included (I purchased an extra one to direct airflow to GPU) - Tasteful design, not flashy - Includes everything you need, plus USB-C on the front header - Lots of room to route cables and hide things
- Solid cable management aids which makes the job SUPER EASY - The fans are strong and look great (although no lights on them so just know that) - The fans come with a splitter and are easy to hide cables. - Amazing price for such a solid case
