Mid-tower ATX case with tempered glass

The Fractal Design Pop Air RGB FD-C-POR1A-03 is a steel and tempered glass mid-tower that accepts ATX, Micro-ATX and Mini-ITX motherboards. It ships in a black and magenta colour scheme with a clear side window. Three 120 mm Aspect RGB fans are pre-installed at the front and rear. The case targets builders who want high airflow and integrated lighting out of the box.

Three RGB fans and optional USB-C upgrade kit

The bundled Aspect 12 RGB fans provide immediate cooling and addressable lighting without extra purchases. A newly developed RGB controller manages the fans and the power LEDs. Front I/O includes two USB 3.0 ports and audio jacks. An optional USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C upgrade kit can be added later for a full-speed front-panel Type-C connection. Two storage trays each hold one 3.5" and one 2.5" drive simultaneously.

Radiator and clearance limits for air

Front radiator support stops at 280 mm while the top mounts accept up to 240 mm provided memory height stays below 46 mm. The rear accommodates a 120 mm radiator. Graphics cards up to 405 mm fit with the front fans in place. The CPU cooler height limit is 170 mm and the power supply length limit is 170 mm. Seven expansion slots are available for add-in cards.

Questions about this item

Will a 280 mm radiator fit in the front while keeping the two included 120 mm fans?

The front supports a 280 mm radiator; the two pre-installed 120 mm fans would need to be moved or replaced to make room.

What is the maximum graphics-card length with the front fans in place?

405 mm is the limit when the front 120 mm fans stay mounted; removing them adds a little extra clearance.

Does the case include a USB-C front port or must I buy the upgrade kit?

Only two USB 3.0 ports and audio jacks are built in; the USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C port requires the optional upgrade kit.
