With Fractal Design being new to the HTPC market, I was of mixed opinion but was a little buoyed as their previous offerings had been excellent. Having lived with this chassis for a couple of days and having used it as a Home Theatre PC in the lounge for...

Today we are going to look at the Node 605 from Fractal Design which is designed to be used primarily for home theatre PC builds. It is part of the same range as the Node 304 that we looked at recently which we found to be a very competent product...

Another impressive case from Fractal Design, although it’s a little overpriced in our opinion...

Taking on the HTPC territory which is currently dominated by big names such as SilverStone and Lian Li is a bold move for Fractal Design but they have done a great job for their first attempt. There is a good reason why there is a contingent of indivi...

At CES this year I had an opportunity to do something I hadn't done before. We all get to run around and get maybe 20 minutes or so to chat with our company reps, but most of the time in the suites or on the floor are taken up explaining all of the n...
Yes, the Node 605 is user specific to a very small category in cases, but the way Fractal Design went about it was that if you are going to try and enter the market, jump in with both feet and offer something sleek, sexy, cool, and sturdier than any o...

This case is aimed squarely at the HTPC builder. It supports all motherboard formats, from full-sized ATX down to teeny mini-ITX. This is just as well, because if you want to add an optical drive, you can only do so by using a mATX or smaller board. Measu...
Good motherboard support, Acoustic dampening, Well, equipped front panel, Good build quality...
Tricky to fit everything in, Lots of screws...

As much as we liked the idea, we're beginning to accept the fact that home-theatre PCs will never be more than a hobby for a niche set of consumers. And, seeing as Microsoft now favours the Xbox as the centre of the living room - at the expense of the onc...

Fractal is new to the HTPC arena, yet the Node 605 is a laudable first attempt. For anyone who still sees value in having a full-blown PC in the living room, the Node 605 will happily accept most existing ATX builds and it'll do so while looking sleek an...

For some time now Fractal Design have been making high quality cases which focus on stylish, minimalist design and low noise operation. Cases such as the Define R4 which we looked at here recently have impressed us greatly and we would have them right at...
When unboxing the Node 605 we were immediately aware that this was a light case which is always appreciated. It doesn't feel flimsy though and we were impressed by the high quality aluminium front along with the fact that Fractal Design have gone to the t...

While the home theather PC is under siege by increasingly smart settop boxes and media players, it remains the best solution for being able to effortlessly watch television and any other type of digital video material. The number of HTPC chassis hasn't...
Overall we are in a bit of a quandary regarding the Fractal Design Node 605. It's a stylish chassis with a solid build. It does offer a lot of interior space, and a flexible lay-out. You can fit a full ATX motherboard, a full ATX power supply, and a fai...

This week I've been able to spend time with the Node 605 HTPC chassis from Swedish manufacturer Fractal Design. We've had a few Fractal Design chassis in for review over the last couple of months, such as the Define R4 and the Node 304 M-ITX chassis, both...
So it seems fractal designs have done it again, just as they did with the Node 304 and the Define R4 I am completely won over by the Node 605. It delivers on all fronts and I found it hard to find any fault with it throughout.I'm not trying to sound like...
