PC-kotelo Fractal Design North XL Desktop valkoinen

North XL Desktop White is a desktop-form-factor PC case that blends natural materials with practical airflow engineering. The case features an FSC-certified oak or walnut front, a faux leather tab and metal details, and offers a spacious, flexible interior for comfortable component installation. The RC variant adds compatibility with reverse-connector motherboards for a cleaner rear appearance. It supports ATX power supplies and multiple fan and radiator configurations to suit performance-oriented builds.

Advantages

The case combines a refined natural finish with effective ventilation and a generous internal layout. It supports long GPUs (up to 413 mm, or 380 mm with a 420 mm front radiator), full-sized motherboards in most versions and reverse connector motherboards in the RC version, and includes three 140 mm Aspect PWM fans. The front I/O contains three USB ports including one USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 Type-C (up to 20 Gbps). Easy-to-remove side, front and top panels simplify access during installation.

Suitable for

• Gaming PCs with large graphics cards
• Custom water-cooled systems with front or top radiators
• Home or living-space builds requiring a natural wood finish
• Builders who prefer reverse-connector (RC) motherboard layouts for a cleaner cable routing

How to use

Install the power supply, motherboard and components following standard PC building procedures. Remove the side panels, unclip the front and lift off the top panel using the integrated tab for unobstructed access to the interior. Fit radiators or fans in the front or top positions according to the stated maximum sizes; route cables through the provided channels and secure them to achieve a tidy layout. For the RC variant, mount a reverse-connector motherboard to take advantage of the dedicated hidden connector design.

Recommendations

Use the included 140 mm Aspect PWM fans for initial builds and add additional fans or larger radiators as needed for higher cooling demand. When planning a water-cooled loop or a large GPU, verify GPU and radiator clearances against your chosen components and consider the RC version if you want a cleaner rear cable presentation.
