Over the years, Fractal Design has released many best-selling cases. As a rule, these are rather expensive chassis with exquisite design, modular construction and high-class sound insulation. Launched in the spring of 2022, the Pop series, on the contrary, is aimed at buyers on a budget. The Pop chassis is characterized by high quality workmanship, thoughtful layout and impressive acoustic performance. And their appearance echoes the Define series, which skillfully balance between luxury and Scandinavian minimalism.


As is customary with Fractal Design, the lineup is simply replete with various variations. Almost all of them are based on the same chassis, and the main differences are in the form factor (Full Tower, Midi Tower, Mini Tower) and cosmetic details. For example, in the Pop Silent model, the emphasis is on powerful noise reduction, in the Pop Air, the front panel is made in the form of a mesh for better ventilation, the POP RGB cases are equipped with built-in lighting, and the Pop XL chassis has been increased in size to the Full Tower standard.

A good half of the Fractal Design Pop cases are equipped with a side viewing window, the other half do not. Also, for some models, the front cover is made flat, for others, the “face” is covered by a translucent cover with a mesh coating. For economical users, the presence of pre-installed fans will be an important factor. The standard and mini cases have 3 turntables, the ATX chassis has 4. Thanks to this unified approach to the formation of the model range, choosing a case is as simple as buying a pair of socks.
