Fractal Design Node 804 Overview

Take advantage of a configurable cooling design with the windowed Node 804 Micro-ATX Computer Case in black from Fractal Design. Intended to provide ample room for components while delivering plenty of airflow, this case uses a dual-chamber design and supports micro-ATX and mini-ITX motherboards. In addition to room for a slim optical disk drive, this case can accommodate up to twelve drives, including ten 3.5 and two 2.5" drives, or eight 3.5 and four 2.5" drives. There are also five expansion slots for adapter cards, including GPUs up to 12.6" long. However, if a fan is installed in the lower front of the case, GPU size is limited to 11.42". Users can install ATX power supplies up to 10.24", while CPU coolers up to 6.3" are also supported.

The Fractal Node 804 comes with three preinstalled 120mm Silent Series R2 fans, with one at the front and two at the back. Users can install up to three additional fans on the front of the case and up to four fans on the top for increased airflow. A fan controller integrated into the back of the case controls up to three fans at once, and filters at the front, top, and bottom of the case help keep dust out. And, thanks to support for water cooling systems, users can replace the fans with radiators, too. Users can install 240mm radiators up to 10.94" tall at the front of the case, either on the left or right side. Either 240 or 280mm radiators can be installed at the top right of the case, and can measure up to 5.12" thick if the drive bays are removed or placed elsewhere. The right side of the top panel fits radiators up to 280mm. The left side of the top panel also fits 240mm radiators up to 5.12". However, when a 240mm radiator is placed on the left side of the top panel, RAM modules on the motherboard are limited to 1.89" tall. The rear panel can also accept 120mm radiators on the right and left side simultaneously, though fitting one to the left side requires removing a drive bay or relocating it. The maximum amount of radiators that can be installed at once includes one 240, one 280, and two 120mm radiators.

Sporting a windowed left-side panel, the Fractal Design Node 804 allows you to show off your components. Intended to provide a minimalist look, the front panel is constructed from brushed aluminum. This front panel incorporates two USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-A ports, as well as separate 3.5mm audio input and output ports. A power button and power and HDD activity LEDs are also present. The Fractal Node 804 comes with touch-fastener straps for easy cable management.

Fractal Design Node 804 Reviews

Exactly what I needed

By Ross
Rated 5 out of 5

Wanted a solid mATX case that could easily hold 4+ HDDs, the Node 804 is that and more. The specs and manual on Fractal's website were great for determining if everything would fit (the most detailed case measurements I've seen) before buying. I had no trouble installing everything and working around in the case was very easy with all the panels off. I've heard Fractal support is great and when you first open the box it mentions that if anything is broken to reach out to them, since due to the case's modularity they can likely send you a single part if needed. Had everything running for two weeks without issue (also seeing much better thermals than in my previous case)

Great case with ample space

I bought this for TrueNAS Scale server. The motherboard ASRock B850M-X R2.0 and Ryzen 5 9600X CPU. I went with Corsair RM750e for PSU. Everything fit like the case was made for them. There is ample room for routing the cables. One hard drive cage just above the PSU is not ideal in terms of temperature management but there is only so much you can accommodate in a case. When installing, make sure that the I/O panel in the back is snapped all the way in. I had to learn the hard way as the motherboard holes were not lining up with the screw holes in the case. After struggling for a while, I pushed the I/O panel in hard and it snapped in making everything else easy. The looks are good. The side glass panel is a matter of taste. I like it even though I did not go with any RGB hardware. The fans are super silent. I did not install any additional fans as my system will work in a standby mode for more than 95% of the times. I use my NAS for storing pictures and important documents and presentations. I do not use it as a media server. Even when uploading or downloading files, the operations are not power hungry. However, if you want to install additional fans, there is plenty of space. I have five of WD 4TB CMR NAS drives in RaidZ-2 configuration giving me effective storage of ~11TB and two disk fault tolerance. I used a PCIe SATA expansion card. The metal bracket that comes with it is somewhat thick which made it hard to lineup the card into the slot. I had the use a file to make it thinner. I forgot to mention that I got a Noctua NH-L9a-AM5 fan for the CPU.
