NODE 804
Well made.

A little marvel of a PC case, the Fractal Design Node 804 has been designed with gamers in mind, focusing on efficient component cooling. It supports up to 10 fans (including 3 supplied), the most advanced watercooling systems and benefits from a dual-chamber design for better heat dispersion.

The Fractal Design Node 804 supports Micro ATX and Mini ITX motherboards so you can assemble a compact, high-performance Gamer configuration. Its incredible design and flawless ergonomics allow you to install the most powerful hardware: Graphics card up to 320 mm (290 mm max. with front-mounted fans), processor cooling system up to 160 mm high, up to 8 3.5" hard disks or up to 4 2.5" SSDs. Compatible with the most advanced watercooling systems or all-in-one processor watercooling systems, the Fractal Design Node 804 can handle up to 4 radiators simultaneously : 1x 240 mm + 1x 280 mm + 2x 120 mm.
Thanks to the Fractal Design Node 804's dual chamber, you can install your components that give off the most heat on one side and those that give off the least on the other. The result: better cooling of sensitive components and improved performance thanks to optimised and perfectly controlled airflow. Practical and useful, the Node 804's expansion ports allow you to connect up to 2 USB 3.0 peripherals as well as the usual headphones and/or microphone. Located on the side of the Node 804 case, they are easily accessible. Supplied with 3 Fractal design Silent Series R2 fans 120 mm, the Node 804 PC case delivers very good cooling performance as standard. This performance can easily be increased by adding up to 7 additional fans!

Well made.
Certainly a bulky case, but very well designed.
Open to all uses pc, server or even nas with the possibility of fitting eight drives
The product is impeccably made, with plenty of space for the extensions and the 10 discs, while remaining airy.
Perfect for a waiter!
With its large hard disk storage capacity, it's perfect for use as a server with redundant storage!
It's also very easy to assemble/dismantle quickly! Most parts are easy to clean.
What's more, for the price, it's still very reasonable!
However, there are a few drawbacks that you won't necessarily notice when you buy it:
- The front panel is clipped onto plastic ends. What's more, the power button / LED / USB and audio port are on plastic that doesn't look very solid. I feel like I could rip this off every time I remove the front panel.
- The dust filters are very difficult to remove. They don't slide well at all, to the point where I sometimes have to dismantle the PC to remove or replace them. What's more, the 2 filters at the front have to be removed from the bottom...
All the same, I highly recommend this case!
It's a very good case, it's pretty (although that's subjunctive) and functional. It's perfect for a NAS, with the possibility of putting more than 8 hard disks. And it's very quiet, it's in a studio and at night it knows how to make itself forgotten.
This box is a jewel, with its 8x 3.5" capacity for fat HDDs plus a host of 2.5" SSD slots built into the front panel or top cover, making it a very comfortable home-made NAS box!
Note that it doesn't offer easy access to HDDs (no hotswap-type bay), it's a classic old cage that needs dismantling, but that doesn't matter: once in place, it doesn't move, it's super ventilated (almost the entire external surface of the case: front, side, top, can be lined with fans).
In short, I love this beautiful piece of work!
