FRACTAL DESIGN North XL TG Dark EATX Mid Tower Cabinet ( White )

The Fractal Design North XL TG Dark (White) is a full-sized mid-tower cabinet designed to blend premium materials with practical airflow engineering. Its most distinctive feature is an FSC-certified oak or walnut front panel — a natural wood accent that sets it apart from typical steel-and-plastic chassis, making it equally at home in a living room as in a dedicated gaming den. The exterior is complemented by faux leather pull tabs, sleek steel or brass details, and — in this Tempered Glass variant — a dark-tinted side panel that offers a window into your build without sacrificing thermal performance. Inside, the North XL is engineered for large and complex builds. It supports E-ATX, ATX, mATX, and Mini-ITX motherboards, giving builders full flexibility. GPU clearance reaches 413 mm with the front fans mounted, or 380 mm when a 33 mm-thick front radiator is installed. Liquid cooling is thoroughly catered for: a 420 mm or 360 mm radiator fits at the front, up to a 360 mm or 280 mm unit mounts at the top, and a single 120/140 mm radiator can be fitted at the rear. Three pre-installed Aspect 140mm PWM fans handle front intake out of the box, while the top and rear positions accommodate up to seven 120 mm or six 140 mm fans in total across the TG configuration. The front I/O panel features one USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C port delivering speeds up to 20 Gbps, two USB 3.0 ports, and a combined audio and microphone jack — a connectivity set well-suited for modern peripherals and high-speed storage. Cable management is assisted by 29 mm of routing space behind the motherboard tray, rubberised grommets, and fixed cable straps. Captive thumbscrews on the HDD brackets, SSD bracket, side panels, fan bracket, and PSU bracket mean tools are rarely needed during assembly or upgrades. Storage is handled by two dedicated 2.5-inch mounts and two combined 3.5/2.5-inch trays. A bottom-mounted ATX PSU bay supports units up to 290 mm long (single HDD tray installed) or 175 mm (both trays installed). Dust filtration is provided at the front intake and PSU bay.
