Fractal Design Pop Air Black TG Mid Tower Case - ATX, 405mm GPU
The Fractal Design Pop Air Black TG Mid Tower Case is a versatile ATX case built for builders who want clean aesthetics and flexible component support. It combines a tempered glass side panel with practical features like dual USB 3.0 ports, high airflow mesh filtration, and support for both air and liquid cooling systems.
Why this product
Tempered glass side panel
The left panel is clear tempered glass, letting you display your build while the right side remains solid steel for durability.

Accommodates graphics cards up to 15.9 inches in length when a front fan is installed, covering most current high-end GPUs.
Liquid cooling ready
Mount radiators up to 280 mm at the front, 240 mm at the top, and 120 mm at the rear for flexible cooling configurations.
Three fans included
Ships with three 120 mm Aspect 12 fans pre-mounted at the front; the case supports up to five 120 mm or four 140 mm fans total.

Best for
- Builders showing off custom loops or high-end GPUs with the tempered glass display panel.
- Systems needing flexible storage with multiple HDDs and SSDs in one chassis.
- Liquid cooling enthusiasts who want multiple radiator mounting options.
- Content creators and professionals running large graphics cards and CPU coolers.
Trade-offs
- Mini-ITX builders prioritizing compact cases — this is a mid-tower designed for ATX and larger boards, so it will feel oversized for smaller form factors.
- Setups with very tall RAM modules — top radiator mounting is limited to RAM heights of 1.8 inches or less.
- Users requiring USB-C on the front panel — the case ships with only USB Type-A 3.0; USB-C support requires a separately purchased upgrade module.
Experience a fusion of style and function with the Pop Air Mid-Tower Case in black with tempered glass from Fractal Design. The Pop Air melds precision engineering with dynamic design, while providing ample space for uncompromising components.
Supporting ATX, Micro-ATX, and Mini-ITX motherboards, this case boasts two 5.25" optical drive bays with a magnetic cover and convenient storage tray. Install storage drives via two drive bays simultaneously supporting two 2.5" and two 3.5" drives; additional space allows you to install a third drive bay, available separately.
A dedicated 2.5" drive tray provides space for two drives and can be installed behind the motherboard tray and or on the PSU shroud.
Seven expansion slots provide space for adapter cards, including GPUs up to 15.9" when a front fan is installed. This case also supports ATX PSUs and CPU coolers up to 6.7". Three 120mm fans are included, while a total of five 120mm or four 140mm fans are supported.
Take advantage of liquid cooling support and install radiators up to 280mm at the front of the case, as well as up to 240mm at the top of the case when using RAM with a height of up to 1.8". The rear of the case also supports a 120mm radiator.
Connect wired accessories via two USB-A 3.0/3.1 Gen 1 ports and audio input and output jacks. Or, install a USB-C port using Fractal's USB-C module, available separately.
The easy-to-clean front mesh acts as a dust filter, while allowing for high airflow. Two ultra-versatile storage trays each simultaneously support a 3.5" and a 2.5" drive. A dedicated SSD bracket for two 2.5" drives is also included. Easy cable management with multiple tie-down points, pre-mounted cable ties and convenient extra-large pass-through holes.
Easily mounted tempered glass side panel lets you showcase your components (TG models only).
