Fractal Design Arc XL w/ Window Dimensions
The Arc XL comes with three fans, but can fit up to four more depending on the cooling needs of the hardware. The front connections are located at the top of the case, directly above the front door, and include two each of USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 ports alongside headphone and mic plugs.
This taller Arc series case provides enough room at the top for a larger closed-loop liquid cooler, like the Hydro H110 - making it a good choice if you want to heavily overclock a processor. It also has more than the standard number of expansion slots, which can come in handy with some configurations like quad-GPU setups.
Note: Dimensions: 22.5" H x 9.1" W x 21.7" D
