Description
Expert Features ~ North XL Chalk White
- The “Snow-White But Make It Gamer” Look: The North XL Chalk White (Mesh) brings a clean, sculpted aesthetic that blends Scandinavian calm with full-blown PC-master-race energy.
- Wood + Mesh = Peak Living-Room Engineering: With its open front featuring FSC-certified walnut or oak panels (family-based, no assumptions made) paired with fine-patterned airflow mesh, this case doubles as home décor and a cooling powerhouse.
- Fresh-Air Addict by Design: Natural front ventilation + large-format mesh = icy airflow that keeps high-end GPUs and CPUs from rage-quitting under load.
- GPU Royalty Welcome: Supports graphics cards up to 413 mm with front fans installed, or 380 mm if you mount a monster 420 mm radiator.
- Radiator Ruler: Front radiator up to 420/360 mm, top radiator up to 280/360 mm, rear up to 120/140 mm—basically a spa day for your liquid-cooling loop.
- Triple Aspect Wind Warriors: Pre-equipped with 3× Aspect 140 mm PWM fans, giving your build a head start in the airflow Olympics.
- Slide. Unclip. Pop. Build: Tool-less side panels, a removable front, and a pop-off top using the integrated tab—your build transforms into a whole mood of convenience.
- Storage That Doesn’t Judge: Two dedicated 2.5″ SSD spots + two included combo trays for 3.5″/2.5″ drives.
- Nine Fan Mounts = Airflow Galaxy: Up to 9×120 mm or 8×140 mm fans for the ultimate cool-core command center.
- Cable Zen Mode: 29 mm of routing space, grommets, fixed straps, and captive screws mean even chaotic builders can achieve cable enlightenment.
- Spacious, Sturdy, Stylish: Steel panels, premium internal layout, and a roomy structure ready for E-ATX motherboards up to 330 mm.
