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...

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...

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...
