AI summary of this review
Fractal Design North XL does more than the average PC case and does it more elegantly, treating components to uncompromised cooling and a bloody beautiful wrapping.

AI summary of this review
Despite the thumbscrews and still-not-quiet acoustics, the unique look and attention to detail outweigh those fairly minor issues, especially with its sub-$200 MSRP.

If you liked the look of the original Fractal Design North but wanted to install an E-ATX motherboard with more 140mm fans, you may well find the North XL is a decent choice.
