In simplistic terms a fractal is defined as both a natural phenomenon and a mathematical object made up of a set of distinct objects. Fractal Design as a company has a manmade phenomenal success with its line of computer cases (an assembly of distinct objects?) and components, all designed, engineered, and tested with the user in mind. We are given the opportunity to test these aspects with its Core 3300 wide-body ATX Mid tower case under the review spotlight.

Designed as a low cost solution, the Core 3300 comes with a lot of advantages: a wide body design to allow for great cable management, multiple radiator support, room to install up to seven 140mm case fans (two are included), a vertical hard drive mounting system that supports 2.5/3.5? drives, a front panel textured finish, and much more.

It will be interesting to see if the Core 3300 can meet the quality, functionality and pricing standards set forth by Fractal Design. Let's see if any of our observations will bring about any possible revisions or ideas for future products.
