Reviews
Fractal Design Core 2300 Black Mid Tower Performance Case with USB 3.0 & 2x 120mm Fans w/o PSU is rated 4.4 out of 5 by 13.
Rated 3 out of 5 by from Decent for price Good box... Fan side vent did not fully align with position of processor on my motherboard. Also, the restart button is too close to the on/off button. Lastly, again on my motherboard, the internal cabling was too short to reach via the ducted sections requiring removal and re- routing over the top... Meaning that great care has to be then taken to avoid touching the processor's heat sink. On the plus side, the box is sturdily built and has enough space for assembly of mb and other cards, plus expansion space for hard drives.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from It's a slick and professional design. Well I was in dire need of a case due to my motherboard and my heat-sink for my processor not fitting inside my current case at the time so I looked throughout Amazon and Scan and I saw that this one was just perfect for what I was looking for due to the back panel had more space for my heat-sink mount.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Solid,good value case Prior to a problem free build,one foot was omitted upon receipt of the goods. One brief phone call to Scan and two days later a package containing four feet arrived from Fractal. Plenty of room to work with in a case that offers a fair few options cooling wise which is pleasing given the price. Recommended.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good case Solid, well assembled case, no sharp edges inside either of the two I purchased. Easy to work inside, plenty of room for my components. A few months down the line, no problems have been encountered.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Very nicely made Very nicely made. Really impressed with Fractal and will likely only buy / recommend Fractal from now on.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from great What a great product for the price. I did not expect this level of quality from a case at this price range. All it needs is more fans as it has the space for several, but I suppose the flexibility is there since some would want to go watercooling instead. I bought a similarly priced Case several years ago and was happy with that. I tried this one out without reading reviews and was gladly surprised.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A very flexible case for various cooling options Recommend for water cooling,as sufficient room for several radiators(front, bottom, rear and top).Good quality case with ample fixings and silent fans,
Date published: 2015-07-05
Rated 2 out of 5 by from Terrible Airflow & Designed Space. Despite me having 5 fans cooling the system the air flow is dreadful and the temperatures I am reading are ridiculous. The space inside the case is minimal so building the PC is next to impossible. On the Back the area to plug in stuff to PCI-E slot equipment (GPU, Soundcard etc.) leaves no space to actually plug in the cables, for example my HDMI slot is half covered by the case and there is no way of moving it, poor design...
