I'm building up my data storage at home, and for my first server I wanted something neat and compact but still able to hold a decent amount of drives. The Node 804 fits my requirements pretty well.
Holds a lot for a small case; Very well designed; Good build quality (minor QA issues; Only minor gripes
The fans take a SATA power connector; HDD LED is on the bottom; kind of an odd place to put it
So far I love this case, it seems quiet with 6 fans running and it is able to hold my extremely long XFX R9 290x with a fan in the front.
Compact yet roomy Sleek design
Because it is small it can be a little harder to work in - for example, do not install case fans until you have your mobo, heatsink, ram, etc; installed
I've never been one to spend real money on the case when I build computers. But using this Fractal Design cube may have changed my mind forever. You just can't put a price on all the little things they do that make the experience and the final product so much better.
Very good quality well designed and made case. Great looks with lots of options for cooling set-ups. This case is highly recommended Really like the side window it looks great with some LED lighting added. The size is great I can fit this thing on my shelf.
I Built a system with all parts ordered from Scan who delivered very promptly and were totally professional. I had one slight issue which their after sales support spotted immediately when I explained and they told me exactly how to correct the mistake I had made.
