Can we get "bored" Sarah in the background of all of Colton's videos from here on out. It brings a whole nother level of realism to the his reviews that are reminiscent of when I try to discuss new chairs and desks with my wife 😂

Company listens to feedback?!!!?! Amazing.

Shocked Sarah didn’t look up at 19:25

Fractal is just knocking it out of the park

get them headphones in the LAB ASAP

The only downside of Fractal Design... Is the lack of actual fractals on their design

I think people under appreciate how nice it is when a company puts in effort into their assembly steps and makes the assembly photos as clear and simple as possible. It's the small details that matter after all.

Fractal is the gaming brand for grown ups

Super excited about these headphones Wireless charging dock: check Not shitty gamery look: check Folding mic: check Amazing

17:45 - Love the nail varnish your rocking there 🤣🤣 That threw me off until I realised.... LOL

Bought a North XL for my new PC and its the best case Ive ever worked on. I lost one of the thumb screws and emailed them asking if I could just have one replacement screw. They responded in like 90 minutes. They ended up sending me TWELVE thumb screws, a sticker, and a nice note thanking me as a customer. They won me over for life that day. If I was rich Id buy one of those Mood cases when available just to build another PC in it. Its really beautiful. Reminds me of a skyscraper/tall building or something. Love it!

17:51 Colton, I don’t want to be weird or anything but, from one dude to another, you’ve got some mighty pretty hands in the closeup of the controls.

That headset looks GREAT. Basically everything I’d want in a headset.

What?! Not a single mention of the tiny Raz Pi North case? That was the best feature in that room.

1:29 ty edditor for the free clips

I like the Mood. It's like a "fancier" version of the NZXT H1.

I wish Fractal had updated the fan bracket on the North and North XL to be removable or have more models since the 140mm fans create a huge turbolence resulting in a lot of noise.

that's a pretty cool looking case. giving me mini 90s computer/Xbox 360 vibes

sarah looks so bored

1:20 da ba dee da ba di?

The best After Linus!!! We ❤ Jake….

15:49 suss fingers

I wish i see Colton in more videos

The new chairs looks so nice! I'm in the market of a new one but I might have to wait for Fractal's.

I'd honestly love something like the Scape but that's open back, has ATH-M50xSTS mic quality, and planar magnetic drivers (and an on device EQ to enable or disable the extra bass common for gaming headsets)

The vertical one could make an interesting NAS if it were to have more slots for HDD

Wow those headphones look amazing. I wish they would make a wireless one with ANC

Love me some Fractal. Quality, beautiful products! LOL on the edit that used Sarah's hands for the chair adjustments that made it seem like they were Colton's hands. At first I was like "thats an odd Opal ring for Colton to be wearing."

10:32 there was a fly on the chair which is funny to me for no reason

I love that the auto-captions capitalized Big Ass Fan at 9:03 bc they’re doing that for brand names now lol

the traveler shall never forget their towel and their ltt screwdriver -- paraphrasing HHGTG

Era is by far the best looking small case on the market. So glad they have inproved the ventilation. Love fractal, they seem to be the only large case manufacturer that actually develops cases that i think look nice.

Colton Chair Tips

6:37 This is the same design than the Xbox Series X!

17:40 "You can't really feel it when your watching the video" - Colton

15:44 what program you are using to check the cpu and gpu temps?

Headphones got it (almost) all!! If only they made the bluetooth simultaneously...

the Era2 is beautiful in much the same way as my fractal North in white w/ glass but i see a problem; there is a cross-piece below the 'rear panel' I/O that means you cant remove or install the cover with ANY cables connected.

Jake got fired for forgetting his LLT-Screwdriver...

The Scape headphones looks really good, unfortunately they don't have a headphone jack for wired use, and that's a big no no for me. Even with a "Low latency" USB Dongle you should still have the choice to go wired. I also wonder how the audio quality / accuracy would compare to my current headphones the Jabra Elite 85h.

It's okay if you're stoooopid, we're mostly stoooopid too ❤

I wish i could try one of the chairs. I hate my herman miller and these LOOK very comfortable plus i LOVE my Fractal North. Its my new favorite case dethrowning the Super Lan Boy i used to have.

Really nice product from fractal, that chair with that adjust lumba on back of the chair is awesome design :D and they look good too, i love my fracta meshify case :D

Fractal’s cases are always such a joy to build in.

I always refuse to be a brand simp in general but I absolutely adore Fractal. They're such a unique company with their mature designs and creative approaches, and none of the prices are out to lunch. I loved how the North looks like it would cost $400 but it's only $140. I'm still running my build in a Define C and it only cost me $100. The headset looks so nice and the charging dock is the cherry on top. If you guys rate it well I might finally upgrade. I hope at some point they start doing mice and keyboards.

I really love Fractal cases. I have a Define 7 compact and I love how accessible everything is. I've got a 240mm AIO, and a XFX Merc 7900XTX, which is a monster GPU. And it fits. :D

That mood one has a shape that could be really useful. Hot air rises so in theory you're shooting hot air out the top and intake fans on the bottom mean that you're always getting colder air. Unlike horizontal airflow patterns where you can kinda have the hot air exhaust bouncing of the wall that the PC is inevitably against. And gosh damn those headphones are so well thought out and looks great to the point where even

my dream fractal node 804 with front walnut like the fractal north has but made in the cube shape.

Craptal, still remember my z690 and aio pump not fitting in their meshify case cause the cutout wasnt big enough

Colton showing up at the end for the chair cracked me up.

I'm excited for those headphones and the ergonomic chair. I look forward to you guys doing a proper review when they are released.

My last 2 cases have been Fractal, and my Wife's is too. I like their cases, but I dont see my next one being a Fractal. I havent really been a fan of their newer designs. Idk what my next case will be. I've got the King 95 in my PCPartPicker list, but I liked what I saw from LianLi on the LTT video the other day too. And I'm still a year or two from building so plenty of time for other cases to catch my interest and my needs and tastes to change (i swap between flashy and minimalist often haha)

it would make the case probably a bit more expensive but having woodpanels on the side iso just drilled holes would make them exquisite.

Fractal the GOATS 🐐

Damnn all the products look so nice and well thought out this year.

7:55 FINALLY someone mentions it! The other reviews so far just say the official 2 slot compatibility, but totally looks like it can fit 2.5 at least. Can't wait to see a build review to know exactly what can be squeezed into this beautiful case

Hey Jake, we export a lot of softwood lumber. It is the type of wood used for building houses. 2x4's and the other crap they sell at Home Depot.

Nice! I want that beige to build a p4 windows 98 machine. its just missing a couple of 5.25" drive bays.

Those headphones seem dope, definitely interested, those cases not so much

I love the way the fractal chair changes colour. Nice continuity and nails!

My R5 Define is a hotbox as well I just keep the side panel open

Love fractal. I have the meshify and it works great with a 3090 etc and doesn’t overheat for me (even in a hot environment). This video is great for daydreaming about my next build! :) I think fractal make “pretty casss for designers” but they also make just solid good cases. As a non-designer nerd I like the plainer ones :)

Fractal is going in an esthetic direction I'm liking.

That "Mood" tower looks like what I thought my NZXT h1 v1 should be like. Thought about a top exhaust, but ofc I can't without cutting the metal.

Would love those headphones in black with good ANC

10:40 there is a fly on the chair shoulder

Does anyone know what chair that is?

Headphones are amazing. I was looking at Astro A50X for a long time because I really want headphones with dock station, but considering logitech don’t want to make affordable version of them I’ll just buy these.

10/10 Fractal, my god. Continuing the killer wood/metal aesthetic. The headphones don't have earpad pleather, so it won't flake after half a year of use. Chairs with solid looking casters and chair base.

"Fetch the Comfy Chair!"

As nice as the Era 2 is I am more interested in the chair. I need an upgrade and an Embody or Fern is just too much for me to spend on one.

Fabric-clad cases are interesting, and I'm curious to see GN's testing of airflow with them. That fabric is going to be a headache to care for, though. Vacuums will likely be too strong and will just pull at the fabric and likely stretch it over time, especially with lack of backing adhesion. Washing would require distilled water to avoid mineral buildup, cold hand wash with air dry. And to my knowledge these airflow-friendly fabrics don't take well to wiping, especially when there's no backer. Canned air from the backside will likely be the common solution, as you have pressure to blow out anything stuck to the frontside, but then you're not exactly getting rid of the dust and instead displacing it within the air. Honestly, it'd just be better if the air was flowing out of the case through the fabric, rather than using the fabric as a filter, this would keep it cleaner and would allow for traditional filters to be used. I also wish that vertical itx case was just a bit larger. No official third PCIe slot and lack of proper AIO support? Come on now, just bump up the dimensions a bit to allow for this, it wouldn't increase the footprint by that much, and this would've been done in the pre-tooling phase of design. Someone definitely failed compatibility checks while drafting this case, shame that engineer for not considering marginal changes allowing for a better case.

Wasn't expecting a chair or headphones, much less ones that look that clean!

cameraman is knocking it out in the chair part

The headphones have the same design as the steelseries so there is a high likely hood they will crack and fail right where the single connection from the band to the cup is. Would need to know if its metal for the cup or not cause if its plastic it will fail for sure.

No 4090 for the mood? That's a bummer.

I don't understand the love for pcie risers in split cases. Mounting the video card directly into the motherboard ensures compatibility, and gives CPU coolers plenty of height while still keeping it basically a cube/rectangle shape

What is the maximum height and weight for the refine chair?

Looking for something with room for a 4 slot GPU. Also, I'm going to avoid anything with a riser atm until I see how it performs with a 5090.

one of the editors arent setting the exposure or white levels correctly, theres a slight blip at 2:46 i think this happened last video too

OK, I really want the blue Era!

I'm no audiophile but I am kinda picky about my audio devices. But gotta say that headphone stand is pretty superbly designed. Not only secure charging, but low profile and best of all, will not compress the headband foam at all. Nice. And the overall aesthetic of those headphones are terrific, totally avoiding every trope "gamer" headphone look.

I love that Fractal is holding on to making cases with solid side panels, but it broke my heart to find out the Meshify 2 Compact with a side panel was discontinued when I finally decided on it. Hope they make a Meshify 3 Compact soon.

At 11:00 I said "Those look 200$ headphones" and I was right!

Actually interested in that chair and those headphones.

You didn’t show the cute mini-North. That was the coolest thing this year!!!

Looks great but having once built a mini itx I will never go down this way again. Building it is a pita, maintenance is a bigger pita, so much so that I'll do anything to avoid it. Only large tower cases for me, convenience is everything

really liked that scape headphones but apparently its not available on Philippines

The curves on the era are really weird to me, with the asymmetry and flaring towards the top.

Great job guys, on what could have been a boring and forgetable video. Fun to watch and engaging. Jake delivered but, more Colton and more Luke please!

Those headphones look like a great solution for me tbh

The ERA2 is a really good looking case! Unfortunately there is one thing that renders it unusable for me: Because of the way the outer shell is built you have to unplug ALL cables before you are able to take a look inside. That's a no-go for me. :( Regarding the headphones and the chairs I must say I am surprised how many of the boxes on my list of needs they tick. Definately worth keeping an eye on. Can you give the headphones a run through the lab once they're out?

Personally a Terra enjoyer, love how Fractal is get creative and innovative with alternative Case layouts and designs

Thankyou Fractal for recognising gamers dont all want a tonne of rgb and actually like fine design!

You know what, that might be my next chair

I know it said BYE in the end but after watching a 20 min ad my brain read it as BUY!

That case is almost exactly what i want. Is there a big version?

Love how it opens like the Mac Pro lol

I'm still more compelled by Fractal Torren case(s) before all others.
