Fractal's Epoch computer case builds upon the Fractal North chassis, but swaps the front panel to accommodate larger GPUs while driving the price down. The Epoch aims to be more price competitive than Fractal's other modern offerings, helping breathe life into the price category that the Pop Air has occupied. The Epoch drops the wood accent of the North, bringing it instead into price competition with the Corsair FRAME 4000D (and 4000D RS), Lian Li Lancool 207, Phanteks XT Pro Ultra, and some of Montech's neighboring (cheaper) cases. This benchmark and review analyzes the Fractal Epoch PC case against some of the best computer cases on the market.
