The short version

Fractal's Pop Air Black TG Clear Tint is a 44 L ATX mid tower with a honeycomb mesh front, three included Aspect 12 fans and a clear tempered-glass side panel. It accepts 405 mm GPUs, 170 mm coolers and radiators up to 280 mm at the front, and keeps two 5.25-inch bays behind a magnetic cover. It suits airflow-focused builds, but USB-C needs an optional cable and cable routing depth is only 19 mm.

  • Three Aspect 12 fans included
  • 405 mm GPU clearance
  • Two 5.25-inch bays with magnetic cover and storage drawer
  • Storage trays that each hold a 3.5-inch and 2.5-inch drive

Cons

  • USB-C needs an optional cable that is sold separately
  • Only 19 mm of cable routing space
  • Top radiators limited to 240 mm
