Another case has been put on the chopping block. I've built in it, had a play with and seen what it can handle. Let's see what I thought about it. To kick it off let's start with the design as this was my favourite aspect of the Node 804 overall. The des...
For all the talk of direct airflow, the dual chamber design of the Node 804 can hardly be said to equip it with stand-out cooling credentials. Cases with a more standard tower design, such as the Corsair Obsidian 350D, Fractal's own Arc Mini R2 and even t...

Supports up to 10 3.5-inch drives, Sleek design, Good cooling options, Supports up to microATX motherboards, Good value
Outdated front I/O, HDD cages are fiddly

The Fractal Node 804 is a high quality, flexible case with a minimalistic appearance which is not out of place — even 5+ years after it was originally introduced. There are few elements that could be made more modern, but I found it fun to build within, a...

As per the company's statement, the Fractal Design Node 804 is a clean, minimalistic design, ideal for environments where users require a good-looking but not extravagant case. Aesthetics are a subjective matter and users need to decide for themselves whe...
