The system is near silent, although there is a slight rattle from the GPU that I noticed when the system is laying flat (my preferred orientation). Finance is only available to permanent UK residents aged >18, subject to status, terms and conditions apply.

inch drive support which means users have to rely on expensive high capacity solid-state drives and/or a slow 2. Step 5 Since many cables are longer by default than would be necessary in some HTPC cases, it is beneficial to lay the cables intelligently and also with detours. I'm not entirely opposed to a new case, but I am feeling challenged about putting it into my Node 202 because I can and I like the style of it. As for GPU, I would really suggest going with Nvidia, it runs much cooler and is, therefore, more silent.Included is a solid PCIe riser "card", various screws, self-adhesive rubber feet, an extra long power cable and in my case an already installed Integra 450W SFX power supply. Recently Fractal Design has released the Node 202 slim-desktop case and as soon as it hit the shelves in Russia I bought it (apparently only 10 were sold since the release). No sharp edges, perfectly fitting holes and a generally high-quality impression - as I am used to from this manufacturer.

The simple drive cage and video card bracket are cleverly integrated into the chassis design, so the interior layout is very clean rather than filled with various brackets. A separated chamber for the graphics card is well reflected in CPU- or GPU-bound tests: The less-used component stays pretty cool. You can also hide the cables between the center bar and the rizer card (in my case the 2nd Sata data cable).Since its inception in 2007, Fractal has developed gaming products which fuse Scandinavian design, user-centric innovation and premium quality. Our technical advice has been featured on publications such as: New York Times, O’Reilly, PCMag, Popular Mechanics, Forbes, etc. However, despite the smaller size I still could not fit my Noctuas underneath it as they were 25mm high, need to get some 15mm high versions. I would be happy to see reviews and build guides for other cases as well, instead of just before / after pics and a partlist.
