The Core 1100 is an extremely compact Micro ATX case. These new Core series are very aggressively priced yet Fractal manages to deliver an uncompromising solution in their typical no frills nor thrills design. No windowed side panel here though lads, keep in mind that the pricing of 35 dollars is insanely low for a non OEM enclosure.

One can't expect too many features on a case of this price level. Nevertheless to maintain that Scandinavian look Fractal opted to give the front panel a brushed aluminum look. The windowless side panel has room for an optional 120mm Fan to enhance the air flow, directly on the installed hardware components.
