Fractal Design Era 2 Silver Mini-ITX PC Case with Walnut Top and PCIe 4.0 Riser (FD-C-ERA2N-01)

Silver Aluminium and Walnut for a Refined Compact Desktop

The Fractal Design Era 2 Silver is a small-form-factor PC enclosure with a sculpted anodized aluminium shell and an FSC-certified walnut top. It suits a carefully planned Mini-ITX system where a restrained silver finish and a compact desk footprint matter as much as component selection.

Two bottom Aspect 12 PWM fans and a pre-installed PCIe 4.0 riser are included, while the sliding central wall helps allocate internal space. Choose a compatible SFX or SFX-L PSU and check the exact graphics-card, cooler, radiator and cable combination before purchase. Small-form-factor flexibility is not unlimited: a change on one side of the internal wall affects the clearance available on the other.

Best For: Mini-ITX desktops, Silver themed builds, Compact gaming setups, Wood-accented workspaces, Experienced SFF builders, Measured custom builds

DETAIL SPECIFICATION

TECHNICAL FEATURES

Material and colour coordination

The Silver exterior and walnut top provide the visual foundation for the desk setup; internal components and any extra accessories are separate.

Plan a complete compatible layout

The central wall provides 15mm of stepless adjustment. Evaluate cooler and graphics-card fit together rather than treating every separate maximum as simultaneously available.

Cooling options in a small footprint

Two Aspect 12 PWM fans are fitted at the bottom. The top accepts 120/140mm fans and nominal radiator sizes up to 280mm, with actual assembly thickness and clearance checks still required.

Accessible construction

The magnetic top, slide-off shell and push-to-release top bracket help expose the interior during assembly. Route cables carefully and match front USB connections to compatible motherboard headers.
