Fractal Terra Mini-ITX Case Review: Build Quality, Thermals, Acoustics, & Cable Management
Sponsor: Get 10% off Squarespace purchases (https://geni.us/BqEpf)
This review and benchmark of the Fractal Terra (Jade) Mini-ITX case looks at the build quality, the ease-of-installation features, cable management, and design qualities of the new small form factor (SFF) case from Fractal. We also deploy our hemi-anechoic acoustic testing chamber for some initial numbers, run thermal benchmarks and comparisons, and talk about what kind of build makes the most sense with this case. The closest competitors would come from Formd and the DAN Case A4-H2O. We are working on the DAN Case ITX review next!
