Fractal Design Pop Silent Black - Solid - Bitumen side panels and sound-dampening foam - Three 120 mm Aspect 12 fans included - ATX Silent Mid Tower PC Case

I always love the design of Fractal Design chassis but then somehow the internal parts are always a bit tricky. First, the QC hasn't been done properly and some of the paints are gone inside the case. Also, I have a solid case without a side window and there is absolutely no need for the extra metal casing to cover the power supply and hard drive bay, especially when I need better airflow for a sound-proof case. Finally, the fans included are not PWM ones so they always blow at full speed...However, there are some innovative designs for this chassis particularly the hidden compartment, Also, the soundproofing materials are done in the front as well as the sides, and they are of better quality compared to most other brands.

Good design, silent case, very good looking.I love it so much.Not able to find the hidden compartment panel, finally found it seperately at the bottom of the cardboard.Unfortunately there is a big defect just like the photo.

So the teenager had been wanting a new case for a long time. This one is perfect. He’s installed all of his bits and bobs, none of which I know the name of or understand. I just nod along as he excitedly tells me he’s fitted it in fine. It comes with pre mounted cable ties which he was pleased with as it makes it nice and neat. It has a tray for the ssd to which he thought was “cool” the orange and black contrast stands out in his room and the glass side show off his build which proudly stands on his desk in the centre of his room. As cases go this one was good value and £107 at time of review.

This case came very well packaged, with easy to understand directions, and great airflow.

Very happy with the Pop Mini Slient, this is a good quality case with plenty of room to install the motherboard and various components and as its name implies it is very silent in operation.There are multiple options for installing 3.5/2.5 drives plus 5.25 bays X 2. I used none of these as I prefer NVME M2 drives on the motherboard.The case has 3 fans installed 2 x 120mm at the front and 1 x 120mm at the rear. I only connected the rear fan to the mobo along with the cooler fan. I’m not a gamer so no GPU, the integrated graphics is good enough for my needs. Those who need a separate GPU should connect the front fans, but personally I would use an ATX case if I was a gamer.Temperatures for the CPU hovers between 32C – 37C depending on the ambient temperature of my man cave well within tolerance of the CPU limits.For those interested my PC is a self-build with the following components:PSU, Corsair CX550MMB, ASUS TUF GAMING B660M-PLUS D4 (mATX)Storage, Sabrent 1TB Rocket Nvme PCIe 4.0 M.2 2280 (from my old PC)CPU, Intel Core i5 12400 6 Core Alder Lake (Using Intel integrated graphics as I’m not into games)Memory 16gb, Crucial Ballistix RGB BL2K8G32C16U4BL (from my old PC)Cooler, Noctua NH-U12SO/S, Windows 11 ProPerformance wise very happy with my build boots up in 10 seconds, its fast and silent.
