Swedish PC hardware maker Fractal Design announces what it describes as a next-generation mini-ITX case design-- the Era ITX, a compact chassis promising a "perfect combination of elegant design and technical engineering."
Designed in collaboration with Intel, the Era ITX features a surfaced aluminium exterior and top inserts in a choice of different materials, including wood and tempered glass. While small, Fractal Design says a flexible PSU mounting system allows the case to carry a 9th gen Intel Core processor together with a dual-slot GPU, AIO water cooling unit (up to 240mm) and up to x4 storage devices.
For the curious, the case measures 325 x 166 x 310mm, including all protrusions (such as feet and screws) and weighs 4kg. It holds a mini ITX motherboard, plus a 200mm ATX PSU and a GPU up to 295mm long. Fractal Design says the case design allows for optimal cooling, and the side and bottom air intakes and top exhaust include washable nylon dust filters. The lower left of the case holds a number of buttons and ports, namely x1 USB-C, x2 USB-A and a 3.5mm CTIA audio/mic combo.
The Era ITX is available in 5 colour combinations, silver-white oak, titanium gray-walnut, carbon grey, gold-titanium grey and cobalt-titanium grey. The top panels are swappable with a steel mesh alternative.
