Fractal Design have a long history of creating high-end, very high-quality products, but in recent years they?ve also turned their attention to a more consumer friendly end of the market, with more affordable, yet still very stylish and well-made products, such as the Core 500 we have in the eTeknix office today.

?The Core 500 is the perfect PC case for those looking for a small, compact chassis that lets you build your computer without compromising on component selection.?

Designed for mini-ITX motherboards, but still offering support for a large GPU, a standard ATX PSU and more, the Core 500 is bound to appeal to those wanting a compact workstation or gaming system. With prices around £50 here in the UK, it's also going to appeal to those who don't have a huge amount of money to spend on their chassis, leaving more of the budget to focus on better performing internal components.
