Fractal Design Focus Mini G - Mini Tower Computer Case - mATX - High Airflow - 2X Fractal Design Silent LL Series 120mm White LED Fans Included - USB 3.0 - Window Side Panel - Black

This is Kevin, spouse of Nancy! This is a low cost, MID TOWER, practical option for a good build. See my last photo of an Amazon product that costs over $150, is the PERFECT case for a high end build. The Fractal case has some of the same qualities for 1/3 the $. The window is NOT Plexiglas, so be careful. The cable space is limited but the right side panel has a good size bulge that accommodated my cables. I am trying to address the (somewhat nitpicky) issues posted before. Please keep in mind I have been an amateur computer builder for over 40 years. I started with MS DOS, then Win 3.1, 95 ect so I have some talents and observations. 1. Not every Amazon product will be in PERFECT order. That’s why we have Prime, if it ain’t right send it back. The stand off screws WERE a problem I simply replaced them all with the ones provided or my own. 2. If a Fractal part failed under warranty it looks like it was replaced quickly So why the 1 star except for frustration. 3. The front cover panel detaches without having connectors attached like some other cheaper cases. 4. There is ample room for a decent power supply. 5. The three fans are good quality white lighted LED’s and have three pin (not 4) MB connectors. 6. The front cover will allow for 2 5.25 inch DVD or other mounts. I have a 2.5 inch slide in SSD/HD mount so I can change OS’s. 7. The base has good dual 5.25 inch mount for 3.5 inch hard drives and removable slide in 2.5 inch brackets (2). All in all it’s a GOOD, not GREAT, case for most builders. I use the Fractal as a back-up for my gaming rig which is a Phanteks Eclipse P600s.

For it being my first time putting a pc together, this case was easy to install everything. The standoffs were hard to screw in by hand, I had to use a socket wrench to make sure they were in all the way. Cable management wasn’t that big of an issue for me. All of my wires fit comfortably behind the case and motherboard panel. I’ll be adding another fan soon so that’ll be an extra wire back there, but as you can see from the photo I attached I have plenty of space. First photo shows how it looked before I organized the cables, the picture with flash is the completed rig. A few things I liked about this case is the ssd space behind the motherboard, I put my hard drive back there cause it wasn’t as cool as the ssd I have lol so it’s hidden away. If you had a single ssd you can throw it back there and remove the ssd holder tray for an even cleaner look. I personally didn’t have issues with my cables behind the tray like others have mentioned, but I will say there is very little space between the motherboard panel and the back of the tray, it definitely can be an issue for some. The fans run quiet and look really nice. The only con I have is how hard the standoffs were going in, but I assume it’s cause of the coat of black paint on the panel. This isn’t really a con but I’ve had two people comment about the weird placement for the psu. If you don’t like the psu on the bottom of the case you won’t like this case. Overall, great case! I’m happy with my first pc I built and the case I used for it

For context, my last custom build before this one was completed in 2016. A lot has changed since then. My requirements seemed reasonable when I embarked on this new build, but this turned out to be the only case I could find which met all my needs. Specifically, I wanted a white case with a plastic window - not glass, at least two accessible 5.25" bays, and at least two 3.5" bays. This case meets all those requirements, with a few caveats. If you're interested in using a liquid CPU and/or GPU cooler, the most efficient mounting position is at the front of the case with tubes pointed down and the radiator fans pulling in fresh air. This configuration is impossible if you also want to use the 3.5" hard drive bays, because the hard drive caddy gets in the way of the radiator hoses. Additionally, adding top-mounted 140mm fans blocks the top bay's ability to accept a 5.25" optical drive, so the only option is to put it in the bottom bay, which makes the cabling really tight between the drive and the ATX power supply header on the motherboard. My other big beef is more aesthetic than anything: I don't understand why the interiors are painted black on the white model. The whole point of a white interior is to better reflect light for an RGB-heavy setup (like mine), which means anything black needs to be replaced or painted - the latter being more annoying with powder-coated steel parts. I ended up buying a pack of replacement PCIe slot covers, and I'm probably going to paint the hard drive caddy at some point. Last on the negatives: the threaded holes for securing the side panels were not tapped very well, and the included thumbscrews are really chintzy. I went with some anodized aluminum thumbscrews I already had from my old build...you'll probably want to get some replacement screws for this case. The good stuff: it did meet all my requirements, which is evidently a tall order in 2023. The case is reasonably roomy for cable management, and both side panels add some extra space. My old case took some finangling to get the side panels reattached without any issues. This case has enough room for cabling, and the side panels don't slide on - they hinge at the front, which is really easy to manage when the case isn't on its side. If you don't need full-size hard drives, there's a 2.5" spot on the backside of the motherboard mounting plate, and the 3.5" caddy is removable. I customized the faceplate with some purple Rust-Oleum 2X spray paint and a custom stencil. I didn't have to use any primer (just a little degreaser first to remove finger oils), and it turned out *great*. It wasn't too difficult to get the perforated metal plate detached from the faceplate for painting, so I am happy about that. Overall, this is a decent case, and I'm not unhappy with my purchase. If you don't need a plastic window or 5.25" bays, there are loads of other options with better features than this case, but it's a solid choice for those who need its specific features.

Shipping took twice as long as expected but no big deal it was around a holiday weekend. The case is exactly as expected. The quality is relatively nice for an economic/entry class case. I do wish it had twice as many USB ports on the top of the case. The front fans that come with it are nice, a little bit of lighting without the heavy RGB stuff. I added a fan in the back on the cooling is phenomenal. Really a well vented case. This was my first build so I had some trouble with resolving which screw did what. Nothing a google search and a little intuition couldn't handle tho. 5/5 would buy again! Probably in a colored case actually, the black is stealthy, but a little boring.

デザインもかっこいいですし、作りもしっかりしています。ホコリも入りにくい感じで、3ヶ月ぐらい使いましたが、埃まみれということはないです。

Do remember that it appears in reality to be a full size case.

Convient Parfaitement pour une carte mère ATX et est très bien aéré. 2 ventilateurs en façade fournie.

Great smaller case to rebuild an older PC. I had many spare parts and upgraded current computer so I ended up with a third PC build. This was a pleasure to put together. Its sleek, well made, has the much needed front slots. If I build future older PCs I will buy this brand of casing. I will be vinyl wrapping the Bluray player so it matches my case. Fast shipping.
