Fractal Design North XL TG Dark (E-ATX) Mid Tower Cabinet (Black)

The Fractal Design North XL TG Dark mid tower cabinet (model FD-C-NOR1X-02) is a large-format PC enclosure that pairs considered aesthetics with a practical, builder-focused interior. Finished in black steel and featuring a tempered glass side panel, the North XL is designed to accommodate demanding builds without sacrificing visual appeal — a case equally at home in a dedicated gaming room or an open living space. The front panel incorporates FSC-certified wood accents and a faux leather pull tab, giving it a natural, furniture-grade look that sets it apart from conventional gaming chassis. The ventilated top panel and open front intake work together to encourage steady natural airflow through the chassis, while a stylishly integrated mesh top ensures warm air exits efficiently. Inside, the spacious interior comfortably houses E-ATX, ATX, mATX, and Mini-ITX motherboards. Three Aspect 140mm PWM fans are included from the factory and are pre-installed at the front, providing immediate airflow without additional purchases. The case supports up to seven 120mm or six 140mm fans in total, and can accept front radiators as large as 420mm or 360mm, a top radiator up to 360mm or 280mm, and a rear radiator of 120mm or 140mm — covering virtually all popular all-in-one and custom liquid cooling configurations. Graphics card clearance reaches 413mm with the front fans in place, rising to 380mm when a 33mm-thick 420/360mm front radiator is installed — enough for even the longest current-generation GPUs. CPU cooler height is limited to 155mm, accommodating most high-performance tower coolers. Cable management is supported by a 29mm routing channel behind the motherboard tray, cable routing grommets, and fixed cable straps. Captive thumbscrews on the HDD brackets, SSD bracket, side panels, fan bracket, and PSU bracket make tool-free access straightforward. Storage capacity covers two dedicated 2.5-inch SSD mounts and two combined 3.5/2.5-inch drive bays, while seven expansion slots serve multi-GPU or high-card-count configurations. Dust filtration is provided at the front and PSU intakes. The front I/O panel delivers 1× USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C (up to 20 Gbps), 2× USB 3.0, and a combined audio and microphone jack. An ATX power supply is supported; PSU length depends on drive bay configuration — up to 290mm with a single HDD tray and up to 175mm with two trays installed.
