Fractal Design Core 1100 Mini-Tower Case (Black)

The Fractal Design FD-CA-CORE-1100-BL is a mini-tower computer case that packs smart airflow, flexible drive options, and a clean exterior into a footprint that fits comfortably on or under a desk. It supports micro-ATX and mini-ITX motherboards, making it a practical choice for home offices, classrooms, dorm rooms, or a living-room gaming PC where full-size towers feel out of place.

A pre-installed 120 mm front fan pulls cool air directly across the main components, and the front panel’s dust filter helps keep that air free of debris. Builders who want additional cooling can add extra fans or a compact radiator, taking advantage of the open interior that encourages unobstructed airflow.

The vertical hard-drive bracket is a space-efficient touch. It holds two 3.5-inch drives, three 2.5-inch drives, or a mix of both, while integrated rubber mounts cut down on vibration noise. Combined with clearance for graphics cards up to 13.78 inches long and standard ATX power supplies up to 7.28 inches, the layout gives you room to balance storage, performance, and silence without wrestling for space.

Up front, a brushed aluminum-look panel hides two USB ports (one USB 3.0 and one USB 2.0) alongside separate audio jacks, so day-to-day tasks like plugging in a flash drive or a headset stay convenient. The understated finish blends into professional settings while still looking sharp next to entertainment centers or gaming setups.

Whether you are assembling a first-time build, refreshing an older system, or creating a compact secondary PC, the Core 1100 provides a straightforward platform that focuses on cooling efficiency, component compatibility, and an easy-to-live-with design.
