Review on Fractal Design Node Computer Case by Mateusz Szlassa ᠌
I'm not particularly happy, but basically everything is fine.
I recommend the case, it is not easy to find the same form factor on the market. Place the power supply no more than 150 mm deep, or 160 mm if the cables are fixed. Video cards fit long without problems, but they all rest on the power supply cable. So short BP is the key to success. Yes, and if you have an sfx power supply, then there will be nowhere to screw it, except perhaps for one bolt. You need a full-fledged PSU. Also, horizontal coolers that go beyond the RAM will not work, they will rest against the bracket to which the PSU is attached. In general, I managed to rebuild my ITX computer in a different case (so that the video card fits more authentically) only after replacing the PSU and cooler. Of course, they could not have been changed, but a PSU lying on the bottom and not fixed sfx is not beautiful.
- High-quality metal, much better than the metal of cheap cases for 2-3 A very good form factor, you can put a full-fledged power supply and a high cooler. It's cool for the size.
- Terrible hole quality. I could not screw the legs-bolts for the motherboard into the case. Need pasatizh. It is necessary to tighten the bolts by force, the thread may break. I had a hard time getting 3 bolts in. And the fourth one turned around. It turned out that the hole was not drilled to the end. So now the motherboard weighs on three bolts. The fourth is forever buried in an undrilled hole. In fact, this is a marriage and it is necessary to return the case to the store. It is better to check it on the spot in the store, well, you yourself will not thread the case or drag a healthy box back to the store. At first I thought maybe they put the wrong bolts, but I have a dime a dozen of them and none of them are screwed in.
