This case is an art piece even though the build quality is questionable in some aspects. Quite a nice upgrade for my decade old CoolerMaster Silencio 550
Elegant
Performant
Great cable management
Spacious for regular builds
Aesthetic wooden front
I hate the screws, quite difficult to use them without a screwdriver despite being thumbscrews (thanks to imprecise screw holes/threads and slightly misaligned plates)

Very nice case to look at, wood is really wood. case a bit smaller but 7900xtx without problems even with 280 top waterman. well thought out places for wiring, really almost everything can be hidden. the screws are really very offended and some of them you can't really put by hand, but you need a screwdriver during construction anyway so there is nothing to worry about
enough space for 7900xtx
a bunch of fan positions
fits 280 up and 360 forward
nice white matt colour
wood is really wood
for decent buildings like this
possibility of additional 2x140 fans by means of the construction on the side of the cabinet in three different places
the screws are really stiff, not a disadvantage but just a fact
filters only at the front and bottom for the source. on the sides ( variant without glass ) and top is not

Fractal Crates are top of the market this is my second one and I wouldn't change.
Beautiful Design
It's smaller, but it's enough
A small but disadvantage for both: -)

So this is not wrong, you just want it; )
Absolutely fabulous
Wood is wood, glass is glass
Even my mom liked it, and she doesn't care about computers.
It's one of the smaller cabinets, so make sure you measure everything well.
I recommend downloading the manual in advance, where the positions and dimensions of the graphics, water cooling and other fans are perfectly drawn.
Fits with spare RTX 3070, and water cooling (with 3 fans) from the front of the case
The white is this nice matte white
A perfect work of art
Rubber stable feet
I recommend water cooling to keep the interior "airy"
Great cable management, you play with it for a while and then you don't see any unnecessary cable anywhere; )

Low-load noise is fine if you tune the fan speed to the lower hundreds of RPM. But it is one of the noisier ones under load. Otherwise, the case is quite practical, for a price slightly above 3 thousand, probably good, but I would expect a little more attention to detail and quality from Fractal. Compared to the old Fractal Define R3, it's definitely better.
appearance
front panel with modern USB ports and decent LED indicator
decent airflow
designed for modern PCs, but you can also fit mechanical 3.5" HDDs or 2.5" SSDs without tying up
separation of the power supply and the rest of the cabinet
quality of material/workmanship acceptable (but given the price I would have expected a bit better)
finger-tightening screws (but factory tightened to a pulp and hard to loosen without a screwdriver)
dust filters in reasonable places
one of the supplied fans makes a clicking sound (a fairly common problem)
large gap between the side glass and the rear sheet - does not stick
quite noisy

I needed a cabinet for my new build, a cabinet that wouldn't flash like a Christmas tree, but would be complete with a sleek design that would fit nicely into any normal room, and also be functional and provide good airflow. I have been in love with Fractal North since its release and although functionality should probably play the biggest role when choosing a case, I have to admit that design was the biggest factor here. You don't see a lot of wooden elements in computer cases and I have to say that it really works here and with the addition of subtle RGB in warm colours the case looks really beautiful. During cable-management, the case did not cause any problems and has enough places to attach cables, but I would appreciate if there was at least one extra SSD slot in the back. Fortunately, the installed HDD brackets have the possibility to mount also classic SSDs and so it is not such a problem (I don't know if it's already standard today, my old PC didn't have it). The case also has perfect access to the dust filters, which are easily removable, and is also quite spacious overall, and I was able to cram the RTX 4070 in the Panther version with a massive cooler, with about 2cm to spare from the front fans. But this brings us to the biggest problem with this case, the cooling, which was really disappointing. The factory 140mm fans hum like a Eurofighter at NATO days, which would be survivable if it at least had some airflow, but it doesn't. For this reason, I also bought Bequiet Silent wings 4 pro fans, which are much better and after sealing the remaining holes in the front panel that were left after mounting between the fans, I got perfect airflow. That's why I recommend buying higher quality aftermarket fans for this case, assuming you'll be building a build with more powerful hardware.
unique and original design
quite a lot of space
the connectors are located on the top along with a flashing light that doesn't burn your eyes at night
perfect access to dust filters
the factory cooling on such a nice and expensive case is really terrible and it's a big shame
it does not have an exhaust fan from the factory - maybe it is not necessary, but I installed one just in case

Note that the optional rear fan can only be 120mm. So you can't use the ones supplied with the box - they are 140mm. Otherwise there was not a single problem when building the comp with the box. Everything went beautifully together and apart, nothing was jerking anywhere. All sorts of caps and diapers always came out beautifully. Once the box is completely removed, there is great access everywhere.
The front USB-C is 3.1 Gen2. Airflow super. Lots of dust filters. The only thing I would welcome in retrospect are a little wider cable gaps for the power supply of the motherboard and graphics card.
Perfect manual from the manufacturer
The two front 140mm fans are quite OK in volume
Appearance while maintaining excellent airflow
