Overview
The Fractal Design Core 1000 is a MicroATX Mini Tower with support for Mini-ITX motherboards. It includes 2 fans pre-installed and mounts up to 6. GPU clearance tops out at 400mm — room for full triple-fan flagship cards — with 170mm of air-cooler headroom. In the budget bracket, prioritize GPU and cooler clearance — small cases punish part-picking mistakes.
Its $49.99 price tag places it squarely in budget territory. Drop it into the PlanMyPC builder to check compatibility with the rest of your parts and fold its price into your running build total. Fractal backs the product through its standard warranty channels; check the listing for region-specific terms.
