Mid-tower case for ATX builds

The Fractal Design Pop Air Black TG is an ATX mid-tower built from steel with a tempered glass side panel. It ships with three 120 mm Aspect fans already installed at the front and rear. The interior accepts ATX, Micro ATX and Mini ITX motherboards and has no integrated lighting.

Upgrade from tighter airflow chassis

Two front 5.25-inch bays, three 3.5-inch trays and four 2.5-inch slots give room for up to three hard drives and six SSDs when optical bays are unused. The jump is worthwhile when a current case limits radiator length or forces drives into cramped cages. Seven expansion slots and a 405 mm GPU clearance with front fans mounted remove common length restrictions.

Mesh front limits dust filtration density

The hexagonal mesh front panel favours high airflow over fine filtration, so dust builds faster in dusty rooms. Top radiator support stops at 240 mm and requires memory modules no taller than 46 mm. Front-mounted radiators can reach 280 mm while a rear 120 mm slot remains available for additional cooling.

Questions about this item

Will a 280 mm front radiator leave room for my GPU?

Yes, a 280 mm radiator fits in the front and the case still accepts graphics cards up to 405 mm long with the front fans in place.

How many 3.5" drives can I actually install?

The case includes two 3.5" trays and has a third bay available, so you can mount up to three 3.5" drives in total.

Does the front panel already have a USB-C port?

No, the front I/O provides two USB 3.0 ports and audio jacks; a USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C port requires the optional upgrade kit sold separately.
