2025 is a great year for building smaller gaming PCs, and Fractal Design's new Epoch case proves it

A marketing image of the white Fractal Epoch case on a desk.

Call me crazy, but I love desktop gaming PCs that actually fit on a desktop. Sure, the power of today's largest PC components can mean you need more space for them inside a case, and sure, keeping them cooler might prove easier in a larger chassis. I understand all of that, but I'm always going to be a fan of a PC that doesn't take up all the room under a desk.

Thankfully, 2025 is throwing out some amazing options for folks like me. Earlier in the year, we had NZXT's H3 Flow release, which is the brand's first Mini-ATX case in years. We've also just heard about Fractal Design's latest invention, the Epoch case. Coming in at $122, it's technically a regular mid-sized ATX PC case, but it's snug enough that it comfortably fits on a desk, and that's my kind of gaming PC.
