Fractal Summit case review: real wood accents scream premium, but it only stands out in white or black
The Fractal Summit is a good-looking, open-face mid-tower with real wood accents that's easy to build in. But noise-normalized thermals landed a bit warmer than we expected.
Fractal's new Summit case is designed for high-performance systems and features FSC-certified wood accents, including a front surround and solid wood feet. The case comes in several color options, such as Chalk White, Black, and Blackout, with the latter offering a customizable ARGB ambient lighting. The Summit case boasts a spacious interior that can accommodate E-ATX motherboards, large graphics cards, and dual 360mm radiators.
It also offers tool-free access to the inside through removable top and front brackets. The case supports various storage options, has seven PCIe expansion slots, and provides ample clearance for CPU coolers and graphics cards. The Summit is priced at $169.99 for the non-ARGB versions and $199.99 for the Ambience Blackout version.
The case has been tested for its thermal and noise performance to determine its effectiveness compared to other cases and its potential for inclusion in the best PC cases list.
