Fractal has just released a new boutique line of stylish cases. Fractal seems to be pitching it to gamers for some reason, but I think they look more right at home in an office / living room environment. The cases come in different colors and finishes, with tempered glass and mesh options.

I like the black metal + wood look. Here's Guru3D's review of the glass and solid metal version using your future R9 7900X limited to 125W and a 3080 video card.

Looks are the only thing which may sell this case and it's fine. I just don't like that aside from that it's just nothing special and doesn't even try to aim what Fractal used to aim: innovative and convenient engineering. It even doesn't have implemented Fractal's presented long ago objectively better solutions like screw-less side panels or bottom filter reachable from the front. But maybe it's like that to keep the price down, because it's just about looks.
