Review: Stunning - A beautiful case - love the oak slats on the front and the brass detailing on top. It feels very premium. Build quality is great - this is my first non-Corsair case in a long time, and I feel like this is possibly better made - things feel more thought out. Really enjoyed building this PC in the case, had plenty of clearance for all the kit, although the top 240mm radiator was a bit of a squeeze. Great airflow and there's a filter on the front to help reduce dust, but I feel anyone getting the mesh version of this is gonna have a battle on their hands if they have pets. Cable management was easy, although helped by a modular PSU. Noise is low, comparable to my old Corsair case, although the new fans in this build are louder, not to the fault of the case. Review: Excellent case – great build quality and a pleasure to build in - I've built a complete system in this case and was very impressed with it. The build quality is excellent, everything fits together properly and there is plenty of room to work with when installing the motherboard, GPU, cooling and PSU. Cable management is well thought out too, which makes it much easier to achieve a clean finished build. The standout feature is obviously the design. The oak front looks fantastic and gives the case a much more premium appearance than the typical gaming PC case, while still maintaining good airflow. The tempered glass panel, overall finish and attention to detail all feel high quality. It's one of those cases that looks even better once the complete system is built. Not the cheapest case available, but in my opinion it's worth the extra money. I'd happily build another system in one. ## Features - Enhance the look of your gaming station with sleek wood and alloy details - Designed for ATX / mATX / ITX motherboards - Enjoy natural ventilation through an open front and stylishly integrated mesh. - Choose a GPU up to 355 mm, or up to 300 mm with a 360 mm front radiator - Get a head start on your build with the two included 140 mm Aspect PWM fans ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B09V878FXQ | | Antenna Location | Gaming | | Best Sellers Rank | 2,618 in Computers & Accessories ( See Top 100 in Computers & Accessories ) 3 in Computer Cases | | Box Contents | Liquid Cooling | | Brand | Fractal Design | | Brand Name | Fractal Design | | Case Type | Mid Tower | | Case type | Mid Tower | | Colour | Charcoal Black - Mesh | | Compatible Devices | ATX / mATX / ITX motherboards, GPUs up to 355 mm or 300 mm with a 360 mm front radiator, seven bridgeless expansion slots | | Cooling Method | Air | | Country of Origin | China | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 2,498 Reviews | | Enclosure Material | Alloy Steel | | Fan Size | 140 Millimetres | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00843276104702, 07340172704706 | | Hard Disk Form Factor | 3.5 Inches | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 57D x 57W x 33H centimetres | | Item Weight | 9.5 Kilograms | | Light Color | RGB | | Manufacturer | Fractal Design | | Manufacturer Part Number | FD-C-NOR1C-01 | | Material | Alloy Steel | | Model Name | FD-C-NOR1C-01 | | Model Number | FD-C-NOR1C-01 | | Motherboard compatibility | ATX | | Number of Fans | 2 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Other Special Features of the Product | Unique Design with Wood Panels and Mesh Ventilation | | Power Supply Mounting Type | Central Tower | | Product Warranty | 2 year | | Recommended uses for product | Gaming | | Supported Motherboard | ATX | | Total Expansion Slots Quantity | 7 | | Total USB 2.0 Ports | 1 | | Total USB 3.0 Ports | 1 | | Total USB Ports | 3 | | UPC | 843276104702 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Fractal Design - **Case type:** Mid Tower - **Colour:** Charcoal Black - Mesh - **Cooling method:** Air - **Fan size:** 140 Millimetres - **Material:** Alloy Steel - **Model name:** FD-C-NOR1C-01 - **Motherboard compatibility:** ATX - **Power supply mounting type:** Central Tower - **Recommended uses for product:** Gaming ## Images ![Fractal Design North Charcoal Black - Wood Walnut front - Mesh side panels - Two 140mm Aspect PWM fans included - Type C USB - ATX Airflow Mid Tower PC Gaming Case - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81174yjgbrL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: What kind of wood is used for the front panel?** A: Depending on the model, it's either American White Oak or American Black Walnut. **Q: What is the maximum CPU cooler height?** A: The maximum CPU cooler height is 170 mm. If mounting the side fan bracket in the top or middle position, the max height would be 145 mm. **Q: How would the temperature be affected if adding fans to the side fan bracket?** A: Results vary, as different builds respond differently to the same fan setup. Testing is key. In our tests, side fans with a front radiator lowered GPU temps, while CPU temps stayed about the same. Placement and overall setup also matter. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Stunning *by P***D on 7 May 2026* A beautiful case - love the oak slats on the front and the brass detailing on top.

The combination of natural wood accents with a minimalist metal frame is absolutely stunning—it looks more like furniture than a typical PC case! Pros: Aesthetic: The wood panelling adds a premium, unique look that blends perfectly into my workspace. Build Quality: Everything feels solid and well-made, from the frame to the fine mesh panels. Airflow: Excellent ventilation thanks to the mesh design and spacious interior—my temps have never been better. Easy to Work With: The modular design and cable management options made assembly a breeze. Roomy Interior: Plenty of space for large GPUs and additional cooling options. Cons: Slightly expensive, but you’re paying for the premium materials and design. A bit limited in terms of radiator size if you plan to use custom liquid cooling. Overall, this case is perfect for anyone who wants a high-performance PC build without sacrificing style. It’s a standout piece that looks amazing in any setup! ## Frequently Bought Together - Fractal Design North - Genuine Walnut Wood Front - Mesh Side Panels - Two 140mm Aspect PWM Fans Included - Type C USB - ATX Airflow Mid Tower PC Gaming Case,Charcoal Black - Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE CPU Cooler, 6 Heat Pipes AGHP Technology, Dual 120mm PWM Fans, 1550RPM Speed, for AMD:AM4 AM5/Intel LGA 1700/1150/1151/1200/1851,PC Cooler - ARCTIC MX-4 (4 g) - Premium Performance Thermal Paste for All Processors (CPU, GPU - PC), Very high Thermal Conductivity, Long Durability, Safe Application, Non-Conductive --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/498772359-fractal-design-north-charcoal-black-wood-walnut-front-mesh-side](https://www.desertcart.be/products/498772359-fractal-design-north-charcoal-black-wood-walnut-front-mesh-side) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-09-26*
