That new fractal case looks nice but unfortunately doesnt go well with my current set up
himynameismiika OP t1_j17rsa8 wrote
I’ve been looking for a new case for a while. I had the Corsair Crystal 570X, which is a really good case, but didn’t really fit my livingroom anymore. Also I never attended lan-parties with it, because of the glass.
When Fractal released this case, I knew instantly that this is the one case to fit my livingroom. Bought it instantly.

Beautiful. That's actually a nice Nordic layout too.
himynameismiika OP t1_j17uyyj wrote
Yeah. Nordic layout is a pain in the ass when it comes to custom keyboards... Fortunately this set is available in a Finnish store, so it gets delivered in a day or two, and for only 60€.

Yes, I usually go for a country-specific layout like FI/SE. The "Pan-nordic" compromise designs is often sloppy, the accent and angle bracket keys usually looks like shit. This is suprisingly elegant. The Ö and Ä keys works well too.

Yeah, I prefer FI/SE over this. I had some DSA keycaps with FI/SE legends before this, but I weren't a big fan of DSA in the long run, and they didn't really fit this case.
Anyway, I do like this specific keycap set. They feel very good, and they are (relatively) cheap, and available. The legends are good too imo, although not my preferred.

I need this case in my setup, when it comes back in stock
himynameismiika OP t1_j18htzl wrote
It's honestly a really nice case.

How happy are you with the case build and airflow wise?
I'm really interesed in buying one but i'm not 100% sure currently.

As someone who does a lot of woodworking, walnut always looks good.
himynameismiika OP t1_j18pbkp wrote
Coming from the Corsair Crystal 570X, I must say the North build quality isn't as good as the 570X. Don't get me wrong though, the North build quality is still good, I would say.
My airflow setup is 2x140mm Noctua on the side panel, 2070s on a vertical bracket, and 2x120mm through AIO on the top. This leads to a neat, but unconventional airflow from side to top, and it works very well.
No fans on front or back.

nice thanks for the info. I guess that case would be a huge upgrade for my H510

Thanks. They are pretty basic when it comes to price and availability in Finland. I am very pleased with them though!

I am switching to ansi when my Mode Sonnet arrives. Screw not being able to get keycaps or hotswap PCBs...Well i still need the nordic alphas, but atleast i dont have to worry about the stupid enter.
himynameismiika OP t1_j1amrbl wrote
Yeah! I have thought about this so many times. I kind of also want to do the switch, but then again I looove the big Enter!

So you're the one that snagged the Fractal North case out of my Newegg cart before I could finish checking out...
himynameismiika OP t1_j1ap03n wrote
I am sorry to disappoint, but unfortunately no. We have plenty of them in Finland!
Lothgar818 t1_j1aqawo wrote
I guess that makes sense. Much shorter boat ride.

Big fan of that Fractal case. Might snag the white one for my next build.

how did you manage to snag a Fractal North?
himynameismiika OP t1_j1hnh7s wrote
We have lots of them in Finland. Fractal is a Swedish company, so I guess it’s easy for Finnish retailers to get their hands on them. I can order one, and get it pretty much the next day.

Where did you get the tofu 60 walnut case from? i cant find it on kbdfans.
himynameismiika OP t1_j1th16j wrote
I got it from maxgaming.com. It’s a Swedish company, so it arrived in just a few days to me in Finland, and I didn’t have to deal with customs.
Trixle_berus t1_j21yhpm wrote
Damn, i messaged customer service and the said that they dont have plans for restocking it 😭
