Fractal Design Mood (M-ITX) Mini Tower Cabinet (Light Gray)

The Fractal Design Mood is a compact Mini-ITX tower built for builders who want capable hardware in a living-room-friendly package. Its defining characteristic is a breathable fabric-covered enclosure that slides off the steel chassis once you pop the rear panel — no tools, no fuss, full access to every component inside. The pillar-style silhouette keeps the footprint to just 212 × 212 mm at the base, making it one of the slimmest Mini-ITX cases available without sacrificing real expansion headroom. Thermal performance is addressed by the included 180 mm Dynamic fan mounted at the top, drawing warm air upward and out. Two additional front fan positions accept 120 mm or 140 mm fans, and the front can also accommodate a radiator up to 280 mm, giving builders meaningful liquid-cooling options in spite of the small chassis volume. A rear magnetic filter mesh keeps intake dust in check without obstructing airflow. Graphics card clearance extends to 325 mm in length with a maximum thickness of 56 mm (2.75 slots) and a height of 145 mm (excluding cables). The included PCIe 4.0 riser cable connects a vertically or horizontally oriented GPU without extra cost. Power supply compatibility covers both SFX and SFX-L units up to 130 mm in depth — the two most common small-form-factor PSU standards. The front I/O panel is well specified for a case in this class: one USB Type-C port running at USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 (20 Gbps) and two USB Type-A ports at USB 3.0 (5 Gbps), plus a combo audio/microphone jack. Storage options include one 3.5-inch drive mount and two dedicated 2.5-inch SSD brackets with tool-less push-to-lock and ball-catcher retention, covering the needs of most compact builds.
