Case PC Fractal Design North midi tower bianco

North reimagines the gaming PC with natural materials and bespoke details, blending design and airflow engineering. The case features an open front with real walnut or oak panels, fine-patterned mesh ventilation, and sleek brass or steel accents. Inside, it offers an intuitive interior layout, broad compatibility, and preinstalled cooling to support demanding builds.

Advantages

The North case integrates into living spaces with a refined appearance while providing strong cooling through an open front and patterned mesh. It includes a USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C front port with fast charging support, supports multiple radiator and fan configurations, and offers flexible storage with combined 3.5"/2.5" mounts and dedicated 2.5" mounts. Easy access is provided via removable side panels, an unclipping front, and a top panel with an integrated tab.

How to use

Remove the side panels, unclip the front panel and use the integrated tab to pop off the top panel for easy access to the interior. Install the motherboard (ATX/mATX/ITX), position storage drives in the combined or dedicated mounts, and fit the GPU according to available clearance depending on front fan or radiator choice. Connect the front USB Type-C and other ports to the motherboard headers, mount radiators or fans in supported positions, and route cables for a tidy build. Follow component manufacturers' instructions for power and cooling connections.

Recommendations

For balanced cooling and component fit, use front fans when planning to install a GPU up to 355 mm; if you choose a front radiator, verify GPU length against the 300 mm limit. Select the walnut or oak front to match room decor and use the mesh variant if maximum ventilation is a priority.
