Fractal Design Mood Black PC Case - Sleek Fabric Design, 180mm Top Fan, Conceals 325mm Graphics Card, m-ITX Motherboard Compatible, Easy Access Build, Efficient Cooling

I’ve built four PC’s now but by no means am I a pro, I just do it for myself and friends because I understand the basics. Saying that, this is the first case I got in the shape of an actual tower so it was definitely a new experience with mounting everything. I had no issues fitting everything in but I noticed there aren't a lot of fan slots- so if you plan on playing taxing games all day then I can see the airflow and cooling possibly becoming an issue. It also depends on your components and GPU to be fair, I feel like most people won't ever have an issue but I’m on about those who play hardcore competitive games, all day, with a high end card and a CPU that relies on watercooling and several fans.Other things I like about the case:> You can lift the case’s exterior off in one go> The USB types are the same as the ones on my most recent case so I’m happy with that. They’re next to the power button which are all located on the bottom of the case> The fact that it’s tall saves a ton of space

The PC seems well constructed, has really smart looking and design, good spec. PC itself is fast enough for gaming and everyday usage, and will handle multiple tasks at once. It seems very quick to load up, boots up quickly and is whisper quiet, has no bloatware added whatsoever.It runs the games I like to play at max graphics and clean as can be. The graphics are so clear allowing me to play games on higher settings. Runs bo6 on ultra smooth as anything.Does what it's meant to do with the usual PC bugs and glitches and constant updates . The only fault I could find would be the hard drive size is not big enough.For the price you pay and for the power you get, this PC case is good enough.

This case looks amazing- very grown up. It wouldnt look out of place in a living room and is different from every other case out there. If your components you use inside aren't too high end then you may be ok, but anything thats powerful and therefore creates a lot of heat, will be too much for this case.I used a Ryzen 7900 non x (65w cpu) and a 7800xt in this and it couldn't keep it cool at all. The fans were so loud it was unbearable. I tried a couple of different coolers and 2x 140mm fans in the front but it wasnt enough. This would be suitable for a home theatre pc build IMO, but not for a gaming or higher end PC build.

This PC case combines sleek aesthetics with practicality, making it an excellent choice for custom builds. The discrete design, featuring a fabric enclosure that slides off for full access, makes assembly and upgrades effortless. The concealed 325mm graphics card slot keeps the build clean and streamlined, while the included PCIe 4.0 riser ensures top-tier performance. Its m-ITX compatibility and easy-access build make it a solid option, even for first-time builders.My son finds it just perfect for his DIY project, offering both style and functionality in a well-crafted case. It supports CPU air coolers up to 114mm in height and is compatible with radiators up to 280mm, making it suitable for ambitious cooling setups. The large 180mm fan provides efficient airflow, ensuring optimal temperatures for high-performance components. With a smart design and excellent cooling potential, this case is a fantastic choice for compact yet powerful builds.
