Fractal Design Node 304 Mini-ITX PC Chassis Review
The front of the box for the Node 304 is fairly straightforward, featuring a nice high contrast depiction of the chassis as well as a brief description about the uses of the 304. “The Node 304 is a compact computer case with a unique and versatile modular interior that allows your to adapt it according to your needs and components”.
Around the back of the box we have a great tear down diagram of the chassis components and layout. This details the major features of the chassis such as its fans and hard drive mounts, but we’ll take a closer look at those in a moment.
There aren’t many extras to be found in the box, but there are all the usual screws and bolts required for component installation, as well as a few cable ties to help keep things neat and tidy inside the chassis.
Check out the dvi port, next time when installing a motherboard, take care of the metal tabs…
“As seen in our build section it may not be the most practical solution
in terms of space for our components, but it has an overall style that
really makes this chassis stand out.”
So its not even well enough designed to be particularly practical in fitting your gaming components, nor has it any cable management, but BAM! Editor’s choice for the “style”!
Oh god, save me from reviews written by interior decorators…
Also save me from sloppy case ‘designers’ who have no particular aim in how they chose case dimensions.
