Fractal Design Terra Silver - Wood Walnut Front Panel - Small Form Factor - Mini ITX Gaming case – PCIe 4.0 Riser Cable – USB Type-C - Anodized Aluminum Panels

This is by far the best looking SFF case I’ve seen. Building in the Terra is pretty easy for being such a small case. There are some mods you can get that invert the GPU to improve cooling on FE graphics cards and add additional fan mounts to improve overall cooling. I was surprised how quiet the case is considering how compact the build is. Yes it’s on the pricey side but the build quality reflects the premium cost.

This case was so easy to build in. With both sides and the top coming off you're free to work unhindered. It comes with a 4.0 riser (make sure and set that in your BIOS). The spine in the middle divides the GPU area from the motherboard/cpu area and has 4 screws to adjust its placement. I was inspired to build using this case because I wanted a Steam Machine, but I knew I could do better in everything but form factor. At around 10 liters though, this case is still a nice smaller size for a PC. I used a ROG Strix B650E-I ITX motherboard with a Thermalright AXP120-x67 CPU cooler that just fits nicely with the cases spine setting at 2.5. The fan is about 4 or 5mm away from the side of the case. Some people complain that getting too close causes noise from air turbulance. I didn't get any of that. The PC sits about 5 feet away from me elevated off the floor by my 65" TV and once in a great while I can hear the fans spin up on the GPU but its nothing disturbing. Overall I really enjoy this case and it was so easy to work in and around I would highly suggest it. Pics of my "Grean Machine" included.

Beautiful case, but what a pain to assemble in. To be fair, this was my first Mini-ITX build and everything is cramped. Cable management is very difficult but since nothing is visible once it's shut, it's fine. Build quality is amazing. I've wanted a fractal case before for my own build but I thought they were too expensive. I can understand why now. You get what you're paying for. The thermals are not bad. I set up an Intel Core Ultra 7 265k and Nvidia 5060ti (I know it's a weird combo) and since the CPU and GPU are on different sides of the case with they fans facing opposing directions, they do not share the same air flow. During gaming, the GPU stays cool and the CPU, depending on the heatsink or AIO you're using, could get a little toasty but manageable. Everything worked out and the end result is a tiny but powerful beautiful PC.

Has to be one of the cleanest and sleekest PC cases I’ve ever seen. It holds my 4070 FE and that’s so cool. I really like the minimalist design and how subtle everything is. It’s compact and very smooth. Airflow is alright and I do see temps rise but I usually just open a vent on the side when I game. Great value and easy to take apart

Building in this was VERY easy. It was my 3rd build, and first ITX build. I built the whole thing at a leisurely pace while I took photos and posted them for my buddies to follow along through discord. I was worried about building in an ITX case because they're notoriously annoying. Nope. Only one single ITX gripe. *INSTALL ALL THE MOTHERBOARD SCREWS BEFORE THE COOLER AND PLUG IN YOUR CPU FAN TO THE HEADER BEFORE SEATING THE COOLER.*. I had to dismount the cooler twice, but otherwise it was really fun and a nice experience. Build quality is top notch, and instructions made the build a breeze. Unboxing everything from brand new to gaming took me about 3 hours. I actually like this little case so much, I might get one for myself. My girlfriend wanted the green one, and it does look really nice. She loves it! It feels very well designed, and the premium features and finish help justify the hefty price tag.

The short version: When everything fits, it's an A+ case. That said, double and triple check every single part in your build. Space is tight in all SFF cases, but it's even tighter here. The Fractal Terra is, in my opinion, one of the most attractive SFF cases on the market today but it has some very real drawbacks. The same could be said about many of Fractal's other products -- it's clear that they are an aesthetics first, flexibility second case manufacturer. That said, there is some (emphasis on some) flexibility on offer thanks to the sandwich-style design. This will give you a little bit of play, but the notches on either extreme leave you with either no options for a decent CPU cooler or no room for a performant graphics card. Buyers should also be aware that while SFX-L power supplies will fit, using one will leave you with no room for a bottom fan. Higher-wattage SFX PSUs are often times SFX-L -- I made the mistake of ordering one and simply couldn't make everything work without ditching the bottom fan entirely. Another pitfall is fan noise. This is well-documented elsewhere, but when the CPU fan is too close to the side panel, it acts as an amplifier. At 100% fan speed, it can sound like a jet at takeoff -- and without proper cable management and careful part selection, you will find the case runs hot and that your fan speed will be at 100% often. After reading the above, a four-star rating might sound generous. The truth is the build quality is undeniably superior to nearly every other case brand I've sampled in the past decade; my 10-year-old Phanteks Evolv X (an ATX case, not SFF) is the only one I've personally used that competes with the Fractal in build quality and design -- the latter comes down to personal taste, but the former does not. I can also say this little guy is durable -- I wouldn't recommend trying to replicate my results in a lab, LOL, but it survived the fall from my desktop to the floor (34 inches) without a dent or scratch. The high-quality coloring hasn't scratched either despite many accidental scrapes with my watchband and screwdrivers during assembly ... yes, I should be more careful, but it's nice to know that a product in this price range doesn't need to be handled with kid gloves. Another point in the Terra's favor is that its popularity among SFF enthusiasts means there are many aftermarket solutions to its shortcomings -- on display here in my build is a 3D-printed part that securely holds a Noctua 92mm fan just below the top panel. I've also installed a 3D-printed USB port addon, and many other parts can be printed, mixed and matched to suit your build. If you are eyeing the Terra for your first SFF build, do your research when coming up with your parts list -- a few extra dollars for proper-length cables and some quality zip ties will be needed for a clean build. For those attracted by the design, but second-guessing the purchase, I personally think the Fractal Era 2 offers a similar aesthetic but has a far more flexible layout.

Very good case. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND buying a top fan and getting the bracket online. I have the hardest fit because my GPU has 3 power connectors. So you’ll need to go without the top lid. If you do that go to hobby lobby and buy a rubber mat. Cut to size and and for around the fan. If you really want to do two fans. I’m gonna do that. Lower intake fan. Two tops fans.

Be sure to really do your home work for component sizes or you will have a bad time. It is a very pretty case in person and my build stays cool. Heatsink and gpu combinations limit most build to 120w cpus with the largest heat sink you can use being a Noctua nh-l12x77. This leaves very little room for a gpu. Any CPU hotter than a 7800x3d would be thermal limited with this or a smaller heatsink.

Summary: I`d 100% recommend this amazing case IF! : -you know that you want your PC to be a part of the interior -you are ready to put a bit more money than in regular bigger form factor -You understand all the limitations and are OK with that. I love what I ended up with! Pros: -design -quality -instructions -flexibility Cons: -limitations (go to this paragraph for details) -price Now, I will go for details. PC that you see in the photos: PSU - Sharkoon SilentStorm SFX Gold PC Power Supply 500 Watt SFX GPU - Nvidia 3060 CPU cooler - be quiet! BK008 Pure Rock Slim - yes, too big. Everything else doesn`t matter, I think. The case itself. The build quality is great. My previous one was BeQuite, which was a huge but amazing case. This is why I don`t feel any quality upgrades, but I don`t feel any downgrades too. The installation instructions are amazing, and this is important because they show different options for building your PC if you have a bigger GPU or PSU, etc. The wooden piece is real wood - not painted plastic. At least it looks and feels so. Part of the interior. This was one of the main reasons I bought this case. It is not visible in photos, but the room has a dark green color as an accent. I also created a table that can adjust height, so this PC should be on the table - not under it. This is why I needed the smallest form factor. I definitely wanted it to be metal. Just because. Now, if you search these 3 filters, you understand there are no options or almost zero. This is why this case cannot be directly compared to any other. There is just no other "metal green mITX case with wooden parts." Fractal - Terra jade fits perfectly in my room. Limitations and some tips that I wish I had before purchase. As mentioned in the summary, the case has limitations, but it`d be honest to say that the mITX form factor has limitations because it`ll be valid for many cases of this type. - As you can see in the photos, you should use a lower-profile CPU cooler, which may limit your choice. - The 3060 GPU that you see is quite small. If you put anything longer, I believe you will have issues with cable management. - SFX-l PSU fits — you see that, but! I highly recommend going for proper SFX to avoid tons of cable management issues, especially if you are going to purchase a bigger GPU. - If possible, try to find a PSU with nylon cables. I believe it will be easier to manage cables, especially if you are going for a better GPU. - PC, in this case, is relatively loud. Remember that I am comparing it to the bequite case, which stood under the table and had a noise reduction layer. This is why I bought that crazy CPU cooler - I can`t hear it. The Intel stock one was annoying. - with a mITX motherboard, you have fewer slots. They are more expensive too. - you won`t have tons of RGB here and there. - don`t use additional drives, except m2 - those are 2 unnecessary cables you should work with. If you are like me - trying to use components you had - check the size of your current GPU and CPU cooler if you didn`t have a tower-type. You can find all the info on their website or maybe here on Amazon, too.
