Fractal Design Ridge Mini-ITX Small Form Factor Case (Black)

The Fractal Design FD-C-RID1N-11 is a Mini-ITX computer case for builders who want full-size performance in a space that keeps the desk or living-room shelf clear. Its 12.6-liter volume still accommodates a graphics card up to 335 mm long, so high-frame-rate gaming or GPU-accelerated work remains on the table without resorting to a large tower.

Cooling is handled by ventilation on every panel and by two pre-installed 140 mm Aspect PWM fans. The open airflow path lets those fans spin at lower speeds during light tasks and ramp up only when the system is under load, helping maintain both temperature and acoustics.

The case adapts to the room around it. Stand it upright beside a monitor, or lay it horizontally under a TV; rubber-lined feet support either orientation. A fabric front framed by aluminum blends with home or office décor, while the front I/O keeps daily connections simple through one USB-C port, two USB 3.0 ports, and a single combo audio jack.

Inside, there is mount space for four 2.5-inch drives, giving plenty of options for fast OS storage, a game library, or media archives. An SFX or SFX-L power supply slots in cleanly, and the included PCIe riser card makes it straightforward to install a full-length GPU along the case spine. When it is time to upgrade or dust out the filters, tool-less side panels lift away in seconds.

Whether you are assembling a compact gaming station, a portable content-creation rig, or a quiet media server, the Ridge offers performance, cooling, and flexibility without claiming more room than it needs.
