Elegantly sculpted outer body Crafted with anodized aluminum and slides off in one piece to reveal an intuitive, well-constructed interior with space for a powerful GPU Review: Very well built and design ITX case - I can’t fault the case. It’s really well built and small but not small enough that it becomes problematic to build in. The quality of the metal feels very premium and the wood panel looks great. Temperatures are very good too. I use a 240mm AIO and combined with two fans at the bottom, it’s cool (between 60-70c when gaming) and also quiet too. I’d 100% recommend this case Review: Great price at £75, fantastic quality itx case, small footprint. - This is a great value itx case at the time of writing, available at about £75. The materials are top quality, it comes with two bottom mounted fractal fans set to in take to add to the value, and the design makes putting your build together really fun. Make sure you have a GPU that is suited to sff. You can squeeze a fairly big GPU in... But generally not flagships. But as of Feb 2026 I would recommend a 9070XT Reaper from Powercolor or a 9080XT Gigabyte OC. Both suited to sff without compromise on performance. As you can't see the going in most itx builds... Aesthetics don't matter. If you are paying the Nvidia premium... Well I can't help you there. It is an adjustable "sandwich" style case the GPU on one half and CPU and SFX power supply in the other.... Now the original intention was too allow a top fitted 240 mm aio cooling in this case which would mean you could use any processor you want. I tried this and it was ok, but it was crowded. Not a problem... all fine even routing the aio pipes was awkward(ish). But then switched to a build with a full copper low profile air cooler and this ran better for me with a 7800X3D. I replaced the aio with top mounted fans extracting al low rpm and this gave a much quieter build under full load. Case footprint is small and unobtrusive on my daughter's small bedroom desk and she can play whatever she wants at ultra without feeling she lives near Heathrow airport.. which she doesn't. I wouldn't invest the original RSP of near £200, but at £75 I would go so far as to say you can't afford not to buy it if itx I'd your thing and the shiny aluminium frame in white/silver, blue or grey/black appeals to you. ## Features - Elegant Design: Features sleek anodized aluminum and solid walnut accents, offering a stylish aesthetic for gaming and computing setups. - Graphics Card Support: Accommodates up to 3-slot graphics cards of 326 mm length, meeting the necessities for high-end gaming components. - Radiator Compatibility: Supports radiators up to 280 mm in size, with a recommended 240 mm for optimal cooling and system performance. - Superior Ventilation: Five-sided ventilation ensures airflow performance to keep components cool even during intensive gaming sessions. - Efficient Cooling: Includes two Aspect 12 PWM fans, designed for superior airflow and noise reduction, effectively cooling your PC components. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0BHKVYTG7 | | Antenna Location | Gaming | | Best Sellers Rank | 41,121 in Computers & Accessories ( See Top 100 in Computers & Accessories ) 319 in Computer Cases | | Brand | Fractal Design | | Brand Name | Fractal Design | | Case Type | Mini-Tower | | Case type | Mini-Tower | | Colour | Black | | Compatible Devices | ATX motherboards, graphics cards up to 326 mm, radiators up to 280 mm | | Cooling Method | Air | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 132 Reviews | | Enclosure Material | Aluminium | | Fan Size | 12 Millimetres | | Global Trade Identification Number | 07340172705833 | | Hard Disk Form Factor | 2.5 Inches | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 36.6D x 31.4W x 15.4H centimetres | | Item Type Name | FD-C-ERA2N-02 | | Item Weight | 4.64 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Fractal Design | | Manufacturer Part Number | FD-C-ERA2N-02 | | Material | Aluminium | | Model Name | Era 2 | | Model Number | FD-C-ERA2N-02 | | Motherboard compatibility | Mini ITX | | Number of Fans | 2 | | Other Special Features of the Product | Dust Filter | | Power Supply Maximum Output | 500 Watts | | Power Supply Mounting Type | Bottom mount or back assembly | | Product Warranty | 2 year manufacturer | | Recommended uses for product | Gaming | | Supported Motherboard | Mini ITX | | Total Expansion Slots Quantity | 3 | | Total USB 3.0 Ports | 2 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Fractal Design - **Case type:** Mini-Tower - **Colour:** Black - **Cooling method:** Air - **Fan size:** 12 Millimetres - **Material:** Aluminium - **Model name:** Era 2 - **Motherboard compatibility:** Mini ITX - **Power supply mounting type:** Bottom mount or back assembly - **Recommended uses for product:** Gaming ## Images ![Era 2 ITX PC Case in Charcoal - Sleek Anodized Aluminum, Solid Walnut Top, Supports 3-Slot GPUs, PCIe 4.0 Riser Cable included - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71gbGNHaRNL.jpg) ![Era 2 ITX PC Case in Charcoal - Sleek Anodized Aluminum, Solid Walnut Top, Supports 3-Slot GPUs, PCIe 4.0 Riser Cable included - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51X2kLiSMuL.jpg) ![Era 2 ITX PC Case in Charcoal - Sleek Anodized Aluminum, Solid Walnut Top, Supports 3-Slot GPUs, PCIe 4.0 Riser Cable included - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/717Oaf0YtWL.jpg) ![Era 2 ITX PC Case in Charcoal - Sleek Anodized Aluminum, Solid Walnut Top, Supports 3-Slot GPUs, PCIe 4.0 Riser Cable included - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71hpLmqvKCL.jpg) ![Era 2 ITX PC Case in Charcoal - Sleek Anodized Aluminum, Solid Walnut Top, Supports 3-Slot GPUs, PCIe 4.0 Riser Cable included - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61yjV2QxX6L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very well built and design ITX case *by M***. on 1 December 2025* I can’t fault the case.

It's very sturdy and densely packed but with enough space for a great airflow with my RTX 4090 and 9800X3D. Cable managment is good and with some creativity you can really make it nice and clutter free. Once assembled PC is not noisy and fits great in my space. ## Frequently Bought Together - Fractal Design Era 2 Charcoal - CORSAIR SF1000 (2024) Fully Modular Low Noise 80 Plus Platinum ATX Power Supply – ATX 3.0 Compliant – PCIe 5.0 Ready – SFX-to-ATX Bracket Included – Black - SAMSUNG 990 PRO SSD NVMe M.2 PCIe Gen4, M.2 2280 Internal Solid State Hard Drive, Seq.
