Fractal Design North Chalk White TG Clear ATX Mid Tower Case
The Fractal Design North is a mid-tower ATX case that brings natural materials and considered design to gaming PC builds. Its real walnut front panel and brass accents make it as much a design statement as a functional enclosure, while practical features like tool-free panel removal and intuitive layout keep the build experience straightforward.
Why this product
Real walnut and brass design
Front panel crafted from sustainably sourced walnut pairs with sleek brass details to create a living-room-ready aesthetic that stands apart from standard gaming cases.
Tool-free panel removal
Side panels unclip, front detaches without tools, and top pops off using an integrated tab—made to simplify building and reconfiguration.
Flexible GPU accommodation
Fits graphics cards up to 355 mm, or up to 300 mm if you install a 360 mm front radiator, giving you room for most current high-end GPUs.
High-speed front USB-C
One USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 Type-C port on the front delivers speeds up to 20 Gbps for fast file transfer and device charging.
Natural mesh ventilation
Open front design with integrated mesh panels keeps thermals flowing without sacrificing the minimalist aesthetic.

- Users who value quick builds and access—tool-free panels and intuitive layout save time
- High-end gaming builds with modern GPUs and liquid cooling setups
- Anyone prioritizing natural materials and sustainable design over traditional gaming aesthetics
Trade-offs
- Extreme cooling or highly modular setups: It comes with only two 140 mm fans, and airflow is optimized for natural ventilation rather than maximum static pressure.
- Very large GPUs beyond 355 mm: Even at maximum capacity, it will not accommodate oversized cards or multiple graphics cards.
- Storage-heavy builds: Four total drive mounts (two combined, two dedicated 2.5″) may feel tight for media servers or NAS setups.
- Budget-conscious builders: The real wood and brass details command a premium over standard mid-tower cases.
North reimagines the gaming PC, introducing natural materials and bespoke details to make gaming a stylish addition to your living space. Leveraging design to give you a better experience, its airflow functionality and intuitive layout make building and gaming both smooth and enjoyable.
