Fractal Design has just released its newest premium desktop computer chassis, called the Fractal Design North.
Showbiz Features
The showbiz feature includes real walnut or oak wood for the front ventilator slats, brass and stainless-metal details, an easy-to-install modular design, and lots of airflows.
GPU
It was designed specifically for ATX, m-ATX, and ITx motherboards, so it has support for graphics cards up to a length of 350 millimeters (300 millimeters with a 360-millimeter front radiator).
Features
It comes with two 140mm Aspect RGB fan headers, three USB ports on the front panel, and drive mounts for four 2.5-in. hard disks and two 3.5″ hard disks.
The Swedish designers at Fractal say the cases are easy to open, with quick-release side covers and an integrated tab that lets the top cover just slide off. Inside, seven expandable card slots let you customize your rig.

Cooling-wise
It has cooling vents at the bottom and back and comes with a mesh top cover. There’s also a mesh window on one of the sides.
Design
Overall, the design of the Fractal Design Node 810 is undeniably conventional. It is, essentially, a rectangular box. With no wooden slat, it wouldn’t be particularly noteworthy. However, they do add an extremely attractive design feature.

Variants
At lunch, four variants of the case are available. The two colorways are chalk white and charcoal black, with each option available with either a mesh or tempered glass side panel.
The North
- Weighs in at 7.6kg for the mesh version and
- 7.7kg for the tempered glass option.
- It measures 447 x 215 x 469mm including its natty little feet.
Price
As for the sordid matter of money, you’re looking at 150 of your Earth dollars, which seems pretty reasonable for what is a very distinctive and likely high-quality bit of case engineering.
It’s also rather refreshing to see a case that majors on aesthetics but manages to do so without an RGB light in sight.
That said, if there is a feature that’s slightly disappointing given the price point and overall polish of the design, it’s the old-school thumb screws used to secure the side panels.
