Product Description
The Fractal Design North Momentum Edition is a performance-focused evolution of the celebrated Scandinavian mid-tower chassis, tailored for stealthy enthusiast workstations and gaming battlestations. Characterized by real blackened oak front slats paired with dark alloy accents and an edge-to-edge tempered glass side panel, it combines bespoke architectural styling with high out-of-the-box airflow. Thermal intake is driven by three factory-fitted Momentum 12 (120mm) fans mounted behind the front wood grille, directing targeted airflow across internal components. Engineered with improved internal clearance, it accommodates CPU tower coolers up to 170mm, full-sized graphics cards up to 355mm, and power supplies up to 255mm. With full tool-less access across all four exterior panels, triple dust filtration, 30mm of rear cable clearance, and a front-panel 20Gbps USB Type-C port, the North Momentum Edition is backed by Fractal Design's 2-year manufacturer warranty.
