Case per computer Fractal Design FD-C-NOR1X-04 Midi Tower bianco

The Fractal Design FD-C-NOR1X-04 Midi Tower in white is a mid-sized PC case that prioritizes airflow and a refined appearance. North XL-inspired design combines wood, tempered glass and steel to integrate performance cooling with a living-space-friendly aesthetic. The case ships with three pre-installed 140 mm front fans and provides an interior layout that is spacious and flexible to accommodate a range of standard components.

Advantages

The case offers strong cooling potential out of the box thanks to three 140 mm front fans and an airflow-oriented structure. Its materials—tempered glass, steel and wood accents—deliver a modern look while the side window allows component visibility. The chassis supports multiple motherboard sizes (EATX, ATX, Micro ATX, Micro-ITX) and provides dedicated bays for two 3.5" drives and two 2.5" drives, with ATX power supply mounting at the bottom.

Suitable for

• Building a performance-focused gaming PC with emphasis on airflow
• Compact to mid-size workstation or content-creation builds
• Systems where component visibility through a side window is desired
• Setups requiring support for EATX, ATX, Micro ATX or Micro-ITX motherboards

How to use

Install the motherboard compatible with the supported form factors and mount the ATX power supply at the bottom of the chassis. Fit storage devices into the provided 3.5" and 2.5" bays and route cables through the case cutouts to maintain airflow. Use the pre-installed front fans for intake; configure additional fans or radiators according to your cooling needs and component clearance. The side window panel allows inspection of installed components without removing structural panels.

Recommendations

For optimal cooling, keep front airflow unobstructed and use the included 140 mm fans as intake. Check radiator and GPU clearance against the case depth when planning high-end cooling solutions. Use cable management features to preserve internal airflow and maintain a clean appearance through the tempered glass side window.
