There’s no gaudy RGB – not even a status LED – and minimalist front I/O includes a solitary power button alongside USB Type-A and USB Type-C. It’s a subtle, light green that’s even more stunning than the pictures suggest, and looks fantastic atop a white desk. Terra comes in silver, graphite or jade, and we’ll be honest, whatever apprehension we felt toward the latter faded the moment it came out of the box. We adore the solid walnut trim across the front, the anodised aluminium exterior exudes quality, and true to form, there’s a choice of colours. Priced at £180 and unmistakeably a Fractal case, this beautiful little box oozes style and sophistication. DIY builders want to know what’s coming next, and in an unexpected change of pace, Fractal has opted for something a little different with a small-form-factor enclosure fit for the modern age. That hot streak has won plenty of plaudits, yet such is the nature of the PC enthusiast market that there’s no time to rest on your laurels.
The Swedish computer hardware manufacturer is a relative newcomer having arrived on the scene as recently as 2007, but has well and truly hit its stride with blockbuster case releases including Define 7, Torrent, and most recently, the gorgeous-looking North.
