Fractal Design Node 605 review: ultimate HTPC case?

Stefan Mileschin · 27th November 2012, 07:04

Overall we are in a bit of a quandary regarding the Fractal Design Node 605. It's a stylish chassis with a solid build. It does offer a lot of interior space, and a flexible lay-out. You can fit a full ATX motherboard, a full ATX power supply, and a fairly large graphics card. It makes it a great solution for an allround HTPC that can also handle a demanding video game. However, the question remains how useful it actually is to use ATX-sized components. Yes, you can install multiple tuners and hard disks, but if you are going to do that, a home server would be a more interesting option for many.
