Key Features

Micro ATX case
3 fan slots
Supports graphics cards up to 350 mm
Vertical removable HDD mounting bracket
Supports 2 x 3.5-inch HDDs
Supports 3 x 2.5-inch SSDs

Build a compact desktop without giving up the essentials. The Fractal Design Core 1000 USB 3.0 is a Micro ATX case designed to balance size, airflow, and component flexibility. With 3 fan slots and a layout that supports long graphics cards up to 350 mm, it gives builders enough room for a capable gaming or general-purpose system in a smaller chassis. Storage flexibility is a key advantage. The vertical, removable HDD mounting bracket lets the case support either 2 x 3.5-inch hard drives or 3 x 2.5-inch SSDs, so you can tune the build for capacity, speed, or a mix of both. That makes it easier to match the enclosure to the workload instead of working around fixed drive cages. The black-and-white Fractal Design styling keeps the case understated and clean, which suits office desktops, home systems, and entry-level gaming rigs alike. For builders who want a compact case with practical cooling options and room for modern graphics hardware, the Core 1000 USB 3.0 remains a smart, value-focused choice.
