Fractal Design Ridge Review & Specifications
The Fractal Design Ridge, manufactured by Fractal Design, is a high-quality PC case designed for Mini-Tower builds. It is made from high-quality steel, plastic, and cloth/aluminium front and weighs approximately 4.30 kg. Its aesthetic is characterized by a black finish and features a mesh side panel, which adds both style and functionality.
The Fractal Design Ridge supports only Mini-ITX motherboards, making it specifically intended for Small Form Factor (SFF) builds.

The overall case dimensions are 355 x 375 x 94.6 mm, offering insight into its spatial footprint.
This case supports medium to large graphics cards up to 335 mm in length, along with CPU air coolers up to 70 mm in height.
