The Fractal Design Core 2300 sits right in-between the Core 1300 and Core 3300 in the family of enclosures. It essentially offers the same layout and feature set as the Core 3300 for 10 Euro less. But will that result in a better price / performance ratio? We take a close look to find out.

Seems like a nice case, but a few too many compromises.

Not every case can be a winner I guess.

For 45 euros, what do you expect?

Very nice case for the price. I've used Core 1300 for a few Micro-ATX builds for friends and family before. This 2300 seems like a good low cost choice for those wishing to go full ATX.
