Introduction
I would like to thank
Fractal Design for supplying the review sample.
Fractal Design has had quite the tried and true range of cases for the longest time, with the Define and Meshify lines taking center stage. Over the years, Fractal Design has attempted to expand on these, but nothing really stuck well enough. More recently, with the release of the bulky, airflow-focused and feature-rich Torrent, Fractal Design has attempted to do so once again. By launching the Torrent Nano and Torrent Compact, the latter of which we are reviewing here, the company aims to elevate this line to the same status by offering variants in three different sizes. You may pick two color variants which each come with a choice of up to two glass tint levels. On top of that, there is a black, non-RGB version to go for as well. For this review, we received the Torrent Compact with RGB in black and the lightly tinted glass panel.
