Compact Mini-ITX case for storage or gaming

The Fractal Design Node 304 is a Mini-ITX tower built from aluminium and steel. It holds Mini-ITX or Mini-DTX motherboards and fits in small spaces. Six internal 3.5 inch bays make it suitable for a file server or NAS. Two front USB 3.0 ports and audio jacks provide convenient connectivity.

Suits storage builds; not for large GPUs

This case suits builders who need many drives in a compact chassis. It works well for a quiet home-theatre PC or a modest gaming rig. Builds requiring ATX motherboards, more than two expansion slots, or graphics cards longer than 310 mm should choose a larger enclosure.

310 mm maximum graphics card length

The chassis accepts graphics cards up to 310 mm long. A 140 mm Silent Series R2 fan is pre-installed at the rear and two 92 mm fans at the front. The integrated fan controller adjusts all three fans. CPU coolers up to 165 mm tall and power supplies up to 160 mm deep are supported.

Questions about this item

Will a full-size ATX power supply fit inside the Node 304?

The case accepts ATX power supplies up to 160 mm long, so most standard units will fit provided they do not exceed that length.

How many 3.5-inch drives can I install at once?

The modular mounting system supports up to six internal 3.5-inch drives, and unused brackets can be removed to clear space for longer graphics cards or better airflow.

What is the maximum graphics card length the case can hold?

The Node 304 accommodates graphics cards up to 310 mm long; removing drive brackets can provide additional clearance if needed.
