Let's take a gander at the Core 500 by Fractal Design. Want a smaller footprint to build your ITX gaming, workstation, or HTPC rig in? Let's see what it has to offer.





The Fractal Design Core 500 really presents a compelling option in the ITX chassis market. Small, compact, yet with tons of expansion and room for your components. With its usual Fractal Design aesthetic, you can really meld this with any theme you'd like: home theater, workstation, office, you name it. It's incredibly small footprint can allow anything from a simple office PC, to a souped up little game rig.
