Fractal Design Focus G Mini Black MicroATX Mid Tower Computer Case


This seems like a pretty nice price for this case. Note that this is the "Focus G MINI", not the "Focus G", although they are of similar design. (This is the micro-ATX version, not the ATX version.)

Anyways, this is one of the few cases on the market today, that has front mesh, two front LED intake fans, and a 5.25" bay cutout.

Thanks, nice find, I could have used it a while back for a build for my daughter, but I can re-case. It's kind of sad the case manufacturers went back to steel, there was an interesting period where aluminum made the cases a lot lighter (thinking mostly Lian-Li, but there were others). Now aluminum cases seem either very expensive or really hard-to-find. In fact, this case will replace an aluminum case, and the only reason is the lack of USB 3.0 front connectors on that older case, otherwise I would keep using it...

Welp, in for one, before the sale is over. I picked up a micro-ATX ASRock AM4 board, and a Ryzen 6C/12T CPU (forget which one) from someone on here a month or two ago, and I've got an EVGA GTX 1650 4GB D6 "SC Ultra" card, and a PSU, RAM, etc., might as well get one of these nice micro-ATX cases for relatively cheap and start building.

Actually, I have a GTX 1060 6GB (used) that I picked up from someone on here too. I wonder which one would be better for a build.

There are external front USB 3.0 connectors you can get. They go in the place of the floppy drive or CD slots in the front . I used this on an old case I love and it works great:

Thanks, it's not quite the same of course, in the case I have that would mean opening the access door every time I want to use USB 3.0, which is not ideal.
