Charcoal Walnut full-tower case

The Fractal Design North XL is a steel ATX full-tower finished in charcoal black with a walnut front panel and dark-tinted tempered-glass side panel. It accepts ATX, E-ATX, Micro-ATX and Mini-ITX motherboards and ships without a power supply. Three 140 mm Aspect PWM fans are pre-installed at the front. Removable front, top and side panels simplify assembly and maintenance.

Drive capacity and GPU clearance

Two internal 3.5-inch bays and two dedicated 2.5-inch bays are provided, plus two additional 2.5-inch positions on the included drive trays. Seven expansion slots support full-length add-in cards.
