Focus 2 Unboxing

Posted by wendell on

Do you like cheap cases? Do you like good cases? What about good cheap cases? Well, Fractal may have what you are looking for!
Not going to lie, this video is not our normal vibe. So last Thursday during the lazy part of the afternoon, Wendell shot the video in record time and I edited it almost as quickly. There isn't much to it. The case is perfectly average. Absolutely nothing special about it. Of course, that's not a bad thing! This case is a good case if you are on a budget! Starting at $69.99 and only ten bucks more for the RGB version, we say... Yep, it's a case.
