Fractal Design Era mini-ITX

It’s a pretty capable mini-ITX case. The fact you have room for a good size GPU, some fantastic cooling expansion options, and even a larger PSU if you so desire is impressive. It’s a little quirky, and it’s a little expensive, but it’s certainly a bit different too. For those who want a PC case that you want on top of your desk rather than tucked into a dusty corner, it’s certainly an interesting choice! I know Andy isn’t too keen on this one in the eTeknix office, but it’s grown on me. I’d happily keep this one on my desk.

As a whole, we like the Fractal Era ITX. The design is more flexible, than many ITX offerings, looks phenomenal and offers support for both SFX and ATX sized power supplies, an uncommon feature for ITX enclosures. Even so, this case has its sticking points; factors that will be an immediate turn-off for some users. With this in mind, we have decided to give this case the OC3D approved Award.
