Fractal Design Terra (Mini-ITX)
The Terra is Fractal's premium-feel SFF case, a standout pick in the pro tier on the strength of its anodized aluminum, wood accent, and bundled PCIe 4.0 riser. It takes ITX boards and GPUs to 322mm, but only 77mm coolers and a single 120mm radiator. Built for compact, design-forward small-form-factor builds; check clearances carefully and skip it if you're running big GPUs or tall air coolers.

Standards
Form factors & standards — interchangeable across compatible builds, not a platform lock-in.
Compatibility
Built around Mini-ITX. Make sure the rest of your build uses the same platform before you buy — mismatched sockets, mounts or standards are the most common return reason. Check it in the builder →
Upgrade path
A top-tier case — there's little to upgrade to within the category.
