Fractal Design Ridge Review
Packaging & Contents »Introduction
I would like to thank Fractal Design for supplying the review sample.
Fractal Design is well known for their tower cases, with the Define leading the way, and the Pop series being one of their latest creations. However, things are not quite so clear when it comes to the slim SFF case offerings. The Node 202, that can be considered the spiritual predecessor of the Fractal Design Ridge which is up for review here, was launched in 2015. So a whopping seven years later, it will be interesting to see if the Ridge can provide a modern revival of the form factor.
