Case Fractal Era 2 ITX Silver - FD-C-ERA2N-01

Fractal Era 2 ITX Silver is a compact Mini ITX case of the mini tower type, aimed at well-thought-out small builds – ITX gaming, stylish desktop, or powerful HTPC. You get a clean silver design without a window and without RGB, so the focus is on functionality and cooling. Despite its small dimensions 366 x 165 x 314 mm, there is room inside for a graphics card up to 326 mm and SFX/SFX-L power supply. Two 120 mm Aspect PWM fans are included to provide basic airflow right out of the box.

What you get

With a Mini ITX form factor and three expansion slots, you can install a thicker graphics card without feeling cramped like in typical ultra-compact cases. Support for up to 4 x 120 mm fans or a combination of 2 x 120 and 2 x 140 mm, plus an option for water cooling with a radiator up to 240 mm, provides solid temperature control even with more serious hardware. The height limitation for the CPU cooler up to 70 mm directs you towards low-profile air solutions or AIO, which is typical for a well-packed ITX design. The four 2.5" slots are more than enough for a combination of NVMe on the motherboard + several SATA SSDs for gaming, work, and media. On top, you get modern I/O with USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C, two USB 3.0, and audio, so the front panel won't be lacking even with newer devices.

• Compact Mini ITX format and Mini Tower case, suitable for small but powerful systems and limited spaces.
• Support for up to 4 x 120 mm or 2 x 120 + 2 x 140 mm fans, with the case coming with 2 x 120 mm Aspect PWM for ready airflow.
• Compatibility with graphics cards up to 326 mm in length, allowing for serious GPUs for gaming or productivity.
• Height limitation for CPU coolers up to 70 mm, directing you towards low-profile air or AIO solutions.
• Four internal slots 2.5", sufficient for several SSDs for gaming, work, and media library.
• Support for SFX/SFX-L power supplies, helping to save space and maintain better airflow.
• Modern I/O: 1 x USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C, 2 x USB 3.0, and audio ports for convenient access to fast connections at the front.
• Support for water cooling with a radiator up to 240 mm, if you decide to keep CPU temperatures under strict control.
• Silver case without a window and without RGB – a clean, unobtrusive appearance for a simpler build.

Who it is suitable for

This case is for you if you want a compact ITX build with a powerful GPU, but you don't want to go into extremely small form factors with many compromises. It is suitable for small format gaming, a stylish office/home computer, or HTPC, where you want good ventilation and a tidy interior. If you plan to use massive air coolers or ATX power supplies – you won't fit them here, and it's better to look for a larger case.

The combination of small volume, space for a long GPU, included PWM fans, and serious front I/O makes the Fractal Era 2 ITX Silver a very balanced base for a clean, compact, and well-ventilated build.
