Fractal Design is pretty well known for high-end quality and performance PC cases. Sure, they’ve dabbled in a few other products too, but their legacy is certainly their award-winning PC cases. However, if anything, I think they’re also known for taking themselves pretty seriously, so I was pleasantly surprised when I found out their new cases would be a little more… outlandish!
There’s going to be a fairly large range of colour options with this new one, and a few front panel options too. That’s not uncommon for Fractal Design though, as they often have a fairly modular approach to their designs, offering many different configurations of their products at launch. Promising a large tempered glass window, a colourful interior, lots of airflow and dust filters, pre-installed RGB fans, a PSU shroud, hidden SSD mounts and more, their latest case is ticking all the right boxes. Not that any of those features are particularly innovative, but this case does have a few tricks up its sleeve that should make it stand out from the crowd, so let’s jump in for a closer look!
“Fractal’s new Pop series cases focus on variety, value, and versatility, offering a wide range of aesthetic variations across multiple form factors with a choice of specialization in airflow or silent operation. Pop Air cases are built with airflow and cooling performance in mind and feature a more open design with mesh front and top panels. Pop Silent variants have a more muted design with closed exterior and sound damped construction, aimed at housing builds for mixed use, productivity and lighter gaming. Both versions come in standard, Mini, and XL sizes with ATX, mATX, and partial E-ATX support respective, and all feature two front 5.25” bays for continued support of front expansion options such as ODDs, card readers, port extensions and hubs. The series also includes a choice of standard and RGB variations, and Pop Air in particular features a unique range of color core choices for even more vibrant stylistic possibilities. All pop cases feature further upgradeability through optional add-on accessories, including additional SSD brackets, combination HDD/SSD drive trays, and a USB Type-C 10Gbps front port.” – Fractal Design
