Fractal Design Torrent Black Solid E-ATX Mid Tower Cabinet

The Torrent with solid steel panels instead of glass, and the lightest of the full size range at 10.4kg. Same top mounted power supply, same open floor turned into an intake plenum, same five large fans. If you want the airflow without the window, this is the one.

Why the top mounted PSU matters

The power supply lives at the top of the case, so the whole floor becomes intake. Three 140mm fans in the base fire straight up at the graphics card with nothing blocking them, and two 180mm fans sit behind the open front grille.

The fans

Two 180 x 38mm Dynamic X2 GP-18 PWM at the front, three 140mm Dynamic X2 GP-14 PWM in the base, all non lit. A Nexus 9P Slim PWM hub is pre installed so they run off one motherboard header.

Dust filters are optional on purpose

Nylon front and base filters are supplied loose rather than fixed. Fit them or leave them out.
