Fractal Era 2 & Mood Mini Cases
6/05/2024Fractal is releasing its new Era 2 & Mood mini-ITX cases, one of which uses aluminum and wood while the other uses a fabric around the exterior shell of the case. The Fractal Mood uses a single 180mm x 38mm Torrent case fan at the top of the chassis tower, leveraging two blocked-off sides and two open sides to guide air straight into the separated GPU and CPU compartments within the case. The Era 2 uses 2x 120mm bottom fans for intake. We have the price and release date for both the Mood and the Era 2 in this video. Both cases use a clever mechanical design that we think is well-executed, giving a "unibody" feel to the outer shell (but not technically) for easy interior access to components. Fractal also has its Scape headset and Refine chair, although we're not spending time covering them.
