Fractal Design Pop Air Tower Black ATX Case

Fractal Design Pop Air Tower Black | Mid-Tower ATX Chassis

The Fractal Design Pop Air Tower Black offers a compelling blend of airflow and style for your next PC build. This mid-tower case supports ATX, Micro-ATX, and Mini-ITX motherboards. It features a mesh front panel for optimal cooling and a tempered glass side window to display your components. With two included 120mm front fans and one 120mm rear fan, the chassis is ready for high-performance hardware right out of the box.

Key Specifications

Optimised Airflow Design

The front panel features an easy-to-clean mesh that acts as a dust filter. This design allows high airflow to pass through directly to your components. Because heat rises, the top panel supports fans up to 140mm or radiators up to 240mm. This configuration helps exhaust warm air efficiently from your system.

Flexible Storage Solutions

This chassis includes two ultra-versatile storage trays. Each tray supports a 3.5″ and a 2.5″ drive simultaneously. A dedicated bracket for two additional 2.5″ SSDs is also included. Furthermore, there are two concealed 5.25″ bays with a magnetic cover for legacy drives or accessories.

Expansive Cooling Support

You have extensive options for custom cooling loops. The front supports radiators up to 280mm, while the top accommodates up to 240mm. The rear accepts a standard 120mm radiator. In practice, this allows for both air-cooled and water-cooled setups depending on your thermal requirements.

Clean Aesthetics & Build

The tempered glass side panel lets you showcase your internal components without tools. Cable management is straightforward with multiple tie-down points and pre-mounted straps. Because the PSU is located at the bottom, cables route cleanly to the rear. However, note that this model does not feature integrated illumination.
