Fractal Design is a byword for premium quality and performance. They have one of the best reputations in the PC market, and while they do make other products, the bulk of that reputation was built upon their premium PC case designs. I’ve been a fan of Fractal for well over a decade, having deployed several of their cases in various builds over the years, spanning their early HTPC products to their flagship gaming cases. However, they’re also a brand that doesn’t flood the market with models, offering a fairly limited range compared to some of the big names in the business.
I loved their Torrent case when it launched last year, but if I had one issue with it, it was that it was a little too big for my liking. Thankfully, they’ve delivered a solution in the form of the Torrent Compact. Plus, if this is still too big for you, there’s the Torrent Nano, which is even smaller!
While this still has many of the high-end features of the Fractal Design Torrent, and for that matter, it looks broadly the same too, but it’s just been shrunk down to a more modest size. Don’t be fooled though, this is Fractal Design, and they tend to be larger than their rival cases to begin with. Even this one, ironically called the Compact still supports larger E-ATX motherboards, it has two 180mm fans in the front, and it’ll take up to a 360mm radiator. So yeah, Compact by name, but certainly not in any way limiting your hardware choices either. The fans are their flagship 180 x 38 mm Dynamic X2 PWM model, or if you get the RGB version of the case, they’re the Prisma ARGB PWM fans. The case also includes their latest Nexus 9P Slim PWM Fan Hub. Overall though, the feature list is extensive, and overall, this should make for one seriously awesome PC build.
