The Fractal Design Ridge Black Mini-ITX case offers a compact and powerful solution for building a high-performance gaming PC in a space-saving form factor. This sleek, vertical case measures approximately 400 mm in height, 150 mm in width, and 330 mm in depth, providing minimal footprint while being compatible with Mini-ITX motherboards. It includes a PCIe 4.0 riser card for vertical graphics card mounting, allowing for optimal airflow and component arrangement within the limited dimensions. Two pre-installed 140 mm PWM fans ensure efficient cooling with adjustable speed control and support both air and liquid cooling configurations for CPUs up to 70 mm in height and graphics cards up to 335 mm in length. Connectivity features a front panel USB Type-C port alongside traditional USB 3.0 ports for modern device compatibility. The case supports SFX and SFX-L power supplies, up to three 2.5-inch drives or two 3.5-inch drives, and offers tool-free access with a magnetic dust filter for easy maintenance. The steel construction with a black finish ensures durability, while the minimalist design with ventilation panels promotes airflow without compromising aesthetics. This chassis is designed for users seeking a balance between compact size and gaming performance, making it suitable for living room setups or desks with limited space. As a successor to earlier compact cases from Fractal Design, it maintains the brand's focus on build quality and thoughtful engineering for reliable long-term use.
