Please report spam as soon as you see it! its an ongoing issue. And more importantly let us know what you think of the MOOD in the comments below, does it put you in a good or bad Mood? oh boy, that was bad, even for us.

This case is NOT for a production / high end gaming system- the lack of GPU slots and relatively poor ventilation are proof of that. However, for a media center / console replacement with a mid tier GPU and lower power CPU, this would make a nice 'common-area' PC. Clearly the focus was on aesthetics over pure performance and so long as you bear that in mind whilst planning a build in it, you should be fine. Seems pricy for that market segment, as most building a mid-tier PC are probably on a tighter budget, putting double the budget into the case as can be found in alternatives leaves less room for components... I'd be interested to see how this works out long term and if a future revision is more enthusiast-focused.

I think, to be called Mood, they should have put in some strong RGB, maybe for backlighting. Then you could "set the mood" by choosing a different colour and it could look good in a living room.
-
Its cool to see them trying something different - we need these things
-
Not so sure I would ever buy this as I think the motherboards in this sector are always 'compromised' a little and they are quite cramped, but this one is pretty nice for a living room or bedroom when the other half decides that a normal case is too big and ugly. kinda looks like a B&O speaker from a distance.

Glad to see you can still get a case that doesn't look like a goldfish bowl.
-
Its like a really nice fancy version of the Corsair One case - exact same vertical hot air flow system
-
Didnt take too long to tear it down, was thinking it might be a lot more work to be perfectly honest
-
Clearly one for the desk with the I/O ports at the bottom, and rightly so, would be a shame to hide this on the floor
-
The hardware support is really good for such a weird shaped case
-
I love the finish on the white model, was hoping you would get it to review !
-
Great to see Leo back - been some time my man !
-
Lovely, a weekend and a new Leo review, time for a latte with some chocolate sprinkles!
-
Lovely looking case - very fresh and modern - yet would fit into a kitchen, bedroom or living room without a problem
-
What a super little chassis - would fit on a desk beside my monitor. I do love Fractal Design for cases
-
Looks like a sideways bread bin from an MKBHD tampon advert. Computers should look like computers without being ashamed of it. Love your channel.
-
that’s such a beautiful finish. We get so used to technology today but remember when we had beige boxes. All the same. It’s a great world now
-
Nice watching Leo build a PC - very relaxing - and he didnt bash anything off his desk this time either
-
That Seasonic PSU looks good - Their silent options look great
-
Amazing design from my favourite case company. One of the best most understated elegantly finished cases on the market imo.
