Fractal Design North Charcoal Black Mesh ATX Mid-Tower Case with Wood Front

Wood-Front Character with a Charcoal Mesh Airflow Layout

The Fractal Design North Charcoal Black Mesh is an ATX mid-tower enclosure for a desktop that should feel more like part of the room than an illuminated display cabinet. Its natural-wood front, charcoal finish and ventilated side panel create a distinct alternative to clear-glass cases.

Two front Aspect 14 PWM fans and the mesh-version side-fan bracket accessory provide a starting point for a planned cooling layout. Select the motherboard, cooler, graphics card and drives together: side-bracket placement affects clearance, and a front 360mm radiator reduces graphics-card length allowance to 300mm. This is the standard North Mesh model, not North XL, Momentum Edition or a complete PC.

Best For: Charcoal desktop builds, Wood-front setups, Mesh-side airflow, ATX gaming PCs, Understated workspaces, Planned component upgrades

DETAIL SPECIFICATION

TECHNICAL FEATURES

Restrained materials and colour

The charcoal mesh exterior and natural-wood front provide a quieter visual style than an RGB-led glass showcase. This exact finish and side panel are kept distinct from other North variants.

Cooling options without a full fan purchase

Two140mm Aspect 14 PWM front fans are supplied. Additional side, top or rear fans can be selected according to supported positions and the intended component layout.

Combined clearance matters

Plan the side bracket against CPU-cooler height and GPU width. Front radiator selection changes GPU length allowance, while HDD trays change PSU space; maximum component sizes are not all simultaneously guaranteed.

Accessible maintenance and assembly

Removable panels, front/PSU filters, cable grommets and hook-and-loop straps support everyday maintenance. USB-A, USB-C and audio connections are available at the front.
