Fractal Design has a new mini-ITX case for $199 — Era 2 is the follow-up with improved airflow over the original Era

Fractal Design Era 2.

This morning, Fractal Design released the Fractal Design Era 2, a successor to the Fractal Design Era we reviewed in 2020.

The Era featured flexible layout options and aesthetics, but the airflow and noise levels were notably abysmal. While we don't yet have this new unit on hand to test, it seems to be built explicitly to address prior critiques of airflow and cooling performance, refining the previous design to a more performant chassis.
