The Fractal Design Core 1100 Mini Tower is a compact mATX PC case that balances a small external footprint with practical internal features. The case has a Scandinavian-style exterior and a fully painted interior with Fractal Design's signature white accents. It is optimized for airflow with a straight cooling path, includes a pre-installed 120 mm front fan and features dust filters on the front panel. The case supports Mini-ITX and Micro ATX motherboards and provides versatile drive mounting with an innovative vertical hard drive bracket that accepts two 3.5" drives, three 2.5" drives, or one of each size. Two 3.5" drive slots include silicone vibration-dampening grommets.

Advantages

The Core 1100 Mini Tower offers efficient cooling in a small chassis thanks to its straight airflow path and an included 120 mm front fan. Its fully painted interior and white detail accents improve build aesthetics, while front dust filters help keep components clean. The flexible vertical hard drive bracket simplifies storage configuration, and silicone grommets reduce vibration for 3.5" drives. The case supports both Mini-ITX and Micro ATX motherboards and provides convenient front I/O with USB 3.2 Gen 1 and USB 2.0 ports.
