Fractal Design Terra Silver - Wood Walnut Front Panel - Small Form Factor - Mini ITX Gaming case – PCIe 4.0 Riser Cable – USB Type-C - Anodized Aluminum Panels

beautifully crafted Mini-ITX case that combines premium materials with a compact form factor. Its anodized aluminum body and solid walnut front panel offer a sleek, minimalist aesthetic that fits seamlessly into any setup. Despite its small size, the Terra accommodates GPUs up to 322mm in length, thanks to its adjustable internal layout and included PCIe 4.0 riser cable .Building in the Terra is straightforward, with tool-less panels and a sliding motherboard tray that make installation and maintenance a breeze . However, cooling options are limited, supporting only a single 120mm fan, which may pose challenges for high-TDP components . Overall, the Terra Jade is an excellent choice for those seeking a stylish, compact case without compromising on build quality.

Very clean aesthetic to this case, easy to build but you will need to spend some time to make the cables look clean. Also I was surprised by the thermals I got with this being so compact. If using a bottom fan you will need a fan grill.

Easiest mini ITX case to build in. Hands down.It also happens to look like a piece of art. Every part of the case feels premium (other than the front IO ports).Things I wish it has:- A LED on the front panel so Id know if the PC is ON, Off, or in Sleep mode.- Slightly more room (height) to accommodate a 240mm AIO and a full sized GPU.

I have zero complaints about this case, it looks great and fits everything perfectly. I have heard that if fans are placed directly up against the side panel the noise can be a bit annoying but I'm not doing that so there have been zero noise issues for me. Can't recommend this case enough!

The short version: When everything fits, it's an A+ case. That said, double and triple check every single part in your build. Space is tight in all SFF cases, but it's even tighter here.The Fractal Terra is, in my opinion, one of the most attractive SFF cases on the market today but it has some very real drawbacks. The same could be said about many of Fractal's other products -- it's clear that they are an aesthetics first, flexibility second case manufacturer.That said, there is some (emphasis on some) flexibility on offer thanks to the sandwich-style design. This will give you a little bit of play, but the notches on either extreme leave you with either no options for a decent CPU cooler or no room for a performant graphics card.Buyers should also be aware that while SFX-L power supplies will fit, using one will leave you with no room for a bottom fan. Higher-wattage SFX PSUs are often times SFX-L -- I made the mistake of ordering one and simply couldn't make everything work without ditching the bottom fan entirely.Another pitfall is fan noise. This is well-documented elsewhere, but when the CPU fan is too close to the side panel, it acts as an amplifier. At 100% fan speed, it can sound like a jet at takeoff -- and without proper cable management and careful part selection, you will find the case runs hot and that your fan speed will be at 100% often.After reading the above, a four-star rating might sound generous. The truth is the build quality is undeniably superior to nearly every other case brand I've sampled in the past decade; my 10-year-old Phanteks Evolv X (an ATX case, not SFF) is the only one I've personally used that competes with the Fractal in build quality and design -- the latter comes down to personal taste, but the former does not.I can also say this little guy is durable -- I wouldn't recommend trying to replicate my results in a lab, LOL, but it survived the fall from my desktop to the floor (34 inches) without a dent or scratch. The high-quality coloring hasn't scratched either despite many accidental scrapes with my watchband and screwdrivers during assembly ... yes, I should be more careful, but it's nice to know that a product in this price range doesn't need to be handled with kid gloves.Another point in the Terra's favor is that its popularity among SFF enthusiasts means there are many aftermarket solutions to its shortcomings -- on display here in my build is a 3D-printed part that securely holds a Noctua 92mm fan just below the top panel. I've also installed a 3D-printed USB port addon, and many other parts can be printed, mixed and matched to suit your build.If you are eyeing the Terra for your first SFF build, do your research when coming up with your parts list -- a few extra dollars for proper-length cables and some quality zip ties will be needed for a clean build. For those attracted by the design, but second-guessing the purchase, I personally think the Fractal Era 2 offers a similar aesthetic but has a far more flexible layout.

If you're going to build ITX, there will be some pain involved with squeezing things into impossibly small spaces.Fractal have made a case that tries to keep that as easy as possible. Three of the sides come off (left, right, and top). That way you can finnagle your way through it. There is an included riser as well, no issues with that either. They provide a support article on their website telling you about compatibility between different size GPUs and different size CPUs (they share a space so you need to compromise).All in all, it's a great and beautiful case.

I don’t have enough time to write how much I love this computer case. It was so easy to build in, incredibly well built, and the ability to adjust the spine makes cooling almost any cpu a breeze. It can be a bit loud but that’s a given. I would buy this again for the price any day.

Fractal has been on a tear lately the last couple years... I have been very happy with the Torrent Compact, and a good friend of mine also rocks the Torrent Nano. For a first SFF build, the Terra is a very detailed and well-thought out design with adjustments and tinkering.Price-wise, it is quite expensive for a little case... but definitely makes SFF builds more straight forward.
