Review on Fractal Design Node Computer Case by Adam Fido ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I really like the product, it fully meets my expectations.

Due to the compactness of the case, it is necessary to figure out in advance which cooler to take for the processor. It is also important to carefully lay the cables, since there is very little free space. I have already assembled 2 computers in this case. I don’t use the built-in speed controller - I change the rear fan to PWM, put a casing between it and the processor heatsink tower, removing the standard fan from the heatsink. I connect the rear fan as a processor fan, the front ones as case fans. I tested an hour under 100% load - the temperature of the processor and the mother does not exceed 80 degrees. At 20% load - about 55 degrees. Proc - AMD A10 with TDP 65 W. One of the assembled computers - a home NAS + HTPC + Router, has been working 24x7 for over a year without problems.

Pros
  • Everything is well thought out, very compact body, the appearance is beautiful. Fits 4 drives with a full-sized video card or 6 drives without it.
Cons
  • if not every day something in it to change - there are no shortcomings.
