Fantastic SFF Case

It was a pleasure building in this case, though it might take you a while to get your cables how you want it given the smaller form-factor. Build quality is also great and no issues with cooling.I look at it as an art piece for my workstation and everyone who sees it mention how they love the look! Worth the money.

Beautiful case

I love this case. Its super compact. You need an ITX motherboard and an SFX psu but there is plenty of room for chunky beefcake GPU’s. Its a designer pc case. Its art. The aluminum is sturdy, and it will absolutely last forever. Its definitely worth the price and the fans included are pretty silent

Tight fit but looks fantastic.

Plenty of tie down points. Center spine is adjustable. Simple wood accent. Fantastic colors. Fits most parts(see pcpartpicker to check if yours will fit). I can say with confidence this is the best PC case I have ever owned. looks good, has good cooling, just enough room for cable management, font panel IO on the bottom.I only see two things that could have been improved upon. Some how making the bottom rear of the outer shell release as to not have to remove all the cables from your case when opening it up and to maybe have either a better PSU placement or a better PSU power cable extension (better conductors so it heats up less and thinner) so it gets in the way less.These are both minor, extremely minor critiques.I love the case and hope it serves me well for years to comeMy parts list:CPUAMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D 4.2 GHz 8-Core$299.00CPU CoolerARCTIC Liquid Freezer III 240 56.3 CFM Liquid$76.98MotherboardGigabyte B650I AORUS ULTRA Mini ITX AM5$209.99MemoryG.Skill Flare X5 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6000 CL32$105.99StorageSamsung 990 Pro 4 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVME$326.00Video CardEVGA FTW3 ULTRA GAMING GeForce RTX 3070 Ti 8 GB$800CaseFractal Design Era 2 Mini ITX Tower$199.99Power SupplyCorsair SF850 (2024) 850 W 80+ Platinum Certified Fully Modular SFX$199.99Case Fanx4Noctua NF-A12x25 PWM chromax.black.swap 60.09 CFM 120 mm$34.95x4

Fractal just can’t execute completely.

Both Era designs have had pretty noticeable flaws. I’ll only talk about the Era 2 for now.-The finish has very faint streaking in one spot, only really noticeable in indirect light at the right angles but it is there nonetheless.- The Panels aren’t flush, there is a bit of differences between the gaps in the panels.- The bottom of the outside shell is not actually flush with the case, it’s bowed out a bit.- The outer shell can’t be taken off without disconnecting everything from the back due to the lower support bar on the back.- The PSU tray inside is kind of flimsy, and the PSU blows against the bottom fan.- The top panel has no way of being removed, it’s held magnetically but impossible to grip, Fractal should have added a tab or pull strap.It’s a very nice looking case, and it’s relatively easy to build in, but there are some pretty obvious design oversights and QC issues. I definitely would not pay full price. I paid 170 on sale, I don’t think it’s worth it even at that price. I would say it’s a 130 dollar case at most, and that is IF they fix the QC issues.

Stunning to look at, botched technical design

I really wanted to like this, Such a shame since it is so visually pretty but example of prioritizing form 100% over function.the critical design flaw: the entire weight of the unit is supported by several plastic tabs. This case that is almost entirely made of metal, and will be filled with thousands of dollars of metal components, is supported by only several thin plastic pieces on the bottom of the case. . I thought about fixing this myself and wrapping a long piece of velcro around the unit, however the bottom is flexible convex plastic and protrudes outward and would break if I used a strap.Secondly, Fractal didn't do much market research when determining the dimensions of the case. It is advertised as being fit for a 280 AIO cooler, unfortunately it fits almost none of the other 280s out there. every 280 AIO I looked at would not fit either due to the radiator being slightly too long or the pump being slightly too tall. They should make the case less than half an inch longer and wider to ensure compatibility with almost all 280 AIOs on the market, however right now it really only works with the Fractal 280 AIO. If you want to use another company you'll probably need to get the 240 version.Lastly the top wood part is confusing. Its not solidly attached but held in place by a magnet. However it sits fully flush so there is no way to pop it off while the case is assembled. I only was able to remove it by taking the shroud off and then putting my hand it to pop it off. Why not have this be permanently connected with screws then?Fractal should move to a v3 to make the weight of the unit supported by metal (and transfer this load to the shroud) and increase the width and length by 1/2" and this would be a 5 star case at that point, but not right now unfortunately
