The Node 804 is a micro ATX chassis which focuses on cooling performance and maximum configurability, all packed in an interesting new form factor with a Scandinavian elegant design. The dual chamber layout separates hot running components from the cooler ones and allows for unrestricted airflow over the motherboard, processor and graphics card. The Node 804 comes with three 120mm fans but can be upgraded with several additional fans if needed. Featuring plenty of options for placing water cooling components, tall heat sinks and hard drives, the flexibility of this case really gives the users the possibility to create their optimal system build.
HeXus Review
"The Node 804 is a micro-ATX chassis that makes clever use of space. Served up in a cube form factor, this sleek-looking box is dwarfed by traditional enthusiast towers yet, with the right components, will more than hold its own in regards to performance." Full review
Hardware Heaven Review
"Starting with the build quality of the Node 804 we have a chassis which feels very sturdy. There were no issues with ill-fitting sections and the flashier items such as brushed aluminium front panel and plastic side window were defect free. Design wise there is a lot to like about the Node 804 and Fractal Design have created a case which is hugely flexible for its dimensions (344x307x389mm)." Full review
