Fractal Design Mood Review & Specifications

The Fractal Design Mood, manufactured by Fractal Design, is a very high-quality PC case designed for Mini-Tower builds. It is constructed from premium-grade steel, aluminium and weighs approximately 4.60 kg. Its aesthetic is characterized by a Black finish and features a mesh side panel, which adds both style and functionality.

The Fractal Design Mood supports only Mini-ITX motherboards, making it specifically intended for Small Form Factor (SFF) builds. While challenging due to limited internal space, SFF builds appeal to enthusiasts who enjoy compact systems. Power supply compatibility includes SFX units with a maximum supported length of 130 mm. The overall case dimensions are 212 x 212 x 453 mm, offering insight into its spatial footprint.

This case supports medium to large graphics cards up to 325 mm in length, along with CPU air coolers up to 113 mm in height.

This case features moderate cooling support, including several fan mounts and radiator support up to 280 mm. It's well-suited for mainstream gaming and productivity builds where cooling is important but not extreme. For additional details and specific specifications, refer to the section below.
