This case would go well with the AsRock B650 LiveMixer [newegg.com], for an orange themed build.

Where's the optical drive bay? I'm not seeing it. I miss having a disc reader... but don't need one enough to shell out for an external one...

I think it's the space on the bottom front panel that can be revealed by removing the thin cover.

I have used Fractal cases for years. Them and Lian Li are the tops imo. But they basically make the same case with slight revisions to it. This is basically a Arc Midi with the drive bay located to the bottom.

These "Pop" cases are bottom of the line for Fractal. I ordered one a year ago and sent it right back. The construction quality is not on par with most of their other cases. The price of $75 should be their regular price and not a sale. I would only recommend these if you really need the two 5.25" bays.

I have a similar model in black. Very easy to work with and i bought it since it was one of the few having both an optical drive spot and a USB C access in top/front. One negative i should point out is that though it lists a usb c on top panel, that is just a piece of plastic. You have to buy separately a fractal USB C connector and cable which this store does not sell (nor does fractal directly). Newegg sells it directly and via other sites like ebay and presently costs 15.99 including shipping. So add that to your costs if you want the expected USB C in your top/front panel. Of course check whether your mobo has a USB C header first. I dont know if i can post the link but this is the link for newegg model D https://www.newegg.com/fractal-design-fd-a-usbc-001/p/N82E16811994093?item=N82E16811994093&source=re... [newegg.com]

Built with this case and just ok. It is one of the few cases that can take 5.25" inch drives, but kind of short psu space.
I built a new desktop in August with this case and went with the Corsair Shift PSU. Easiest build I've ever done.

Great case, a steal at this price.

Quote from wink4jesse :
I noticed that the orange version doesn't say "tempered glass" which leads me to believe that the side panel may not be clear. The black and white version specify tempered glass. I'm not sure what the means for the other options. Maybe someone can confirm that you can actually see the "core color" without the side panel removed.
Look at the last photo. It shows all the components and a tempered glass screen. But yeah weird they didn't list it.

Thanks for the heads up! I'm debating whether or not to replace my old Fractal Design Define R3 (first gen) mid-tower ATX case for a new build that I'm considering, as the front only has two USB-A and I believe one external SATA port. Boo to Fractal for charging $15+ for a cable when it should have been included with the case in the first place. Cases with 5.25 optical drive slots are hard to come by these days too.

I never noticed the hidden optical drive before. Nice!
its a nice plus, but that flimsy cover seems to get knocked off easily from the review videos. nice that that's two 5.25 drive bays down there tho. gotta admit that i'm not the target audience, so, i cant complain.

$75 is not a deal. This isn't the same build quality as their more popular.cases.
