Fractal Design Era 2 Charcoal Gray Mini-ITX PC Case with Walnut Top and PCIe 4.0 Riser (FD-C-ERA2N-02)

A Sculpted Charcoal Mini-ITX Case for a Carefully Planned Compact PC

The Fractal Design Era 2 Charcoal Gray combines an anodized aluminium exterior with an FSC-certified walnut top for a compact desktop with a distinctive finish. Its Mini-ITX layout, pre-installed PCIe 4.0 riser and two included Aspect 12 PWM fans provide the enclosure platform for a separately specified gaming or everyday PC.

A sliding central wall lets a builder balance space between the graphics card and CPU side, while removable panels improve access during assembly. This remains a small-form-factor build: use a compatible SFX or SFX-L power supply and check the full cooler, graphics-card, radiator and cable dimensions together. Individual published maximum dimensions are not a promise that every maximum-sized component fits simultaneously.

Best For: Compact gaming PCs, Mini-ITX builds, Charcoal desk setups, Walnut-accented systems, Careful SFF builders, Space-conscious desktops

DETAIL SPECIFICATION

TECHNICAL FEATURES

Compact materials-led presentation

The sculpted aluminium body and real walnut top give this enclosure a distinctive desk presence without implying that internal components are included.

Adjust the layout before ordering components

The sliding central wall changes the available space on the CPU and graphics-card sides. Select a complete compatible combination rather than combining unrelated maximum clearance values.

Cooling access for a small build

Two bottom Aspect 12 PWM fans are supplied. The top supports 120/140mm fans and radiator sizes up to 280mm, subject to the complete radiator and fan assembly fitting the chosen layout.

Practical access and connectivity

The magnetic top, slide-off exterior and push-to-release top bracket help with assembly. The included PCIe 4.0 riser and front USB ports still require compatible hardware and appropriate connections.
