I presume this is because the market for them is relatively small, and the margins aren't amazing either. One thing I don't get is that the reviews for the Torrent compact almost all mention that the cable routing space is terrible and the reviews for the Pop cases say it is fine, even this one with the sound deadening material making it tighter. Still, if you like the look, it's a solid new entry in the big-tower stakes that will take a truly huge motherboard for an HEDT or workstation build. Graphics card temperatures are an oddity for the Pop Air RGB, as they start off normally cool and gradually scale past all others in this test set.
Inside, we find three front fans mounted as intakes (plus one rear exhaust), enough distance between the expansion slots and fans to hold cards up to 430mm long, and an inset portion toward the front of the motherboard tray that limits motherboard depth to a measured 11.

We mounted our AIO CPU cooler to the top panel to take full advantage of the voltage-regulator cooling potential of this fan location, as well as full advantage of the case’s included triple intake fans. A clean and professional looking NON RGB system for those who prefer to skip the flashing lights and go for a top tier professional gaming rig. AIO Chassis as the base of the machine, we are able to provide the ultimate in experiences never before seen in an All In One form factor. Connecting front-panel cables is very simple on a case that has no reset button or hard drive activity LED.
Flexible specification options to meet your needs, fully configurable and of course, upgradeable in future. Those can be quite handy to builders who know how to use them: We’d be tempted to fit ours with an actively cooled eight-drive 2. As the Pop Air manual mentions only the front-mount option, the “extended radiator brackets” that ease top mounting were likely an afterthought. There's an extent to which PCS is only going to offer a certain number of configuration options: they can't offer everything that a PC user might want.
However, because the Pop Silent has so much noise-dampening material, you could probably get away with using higher RPM fans without your rig being too loud. Our acoustic test consists of three scenarios: We run the CPU at full load, the CPU and GPU at full load, and an optimized mode. We have absolutely no influence on where PCS market demographic is, but Mini ITX will make up a very small margin and with millions in the turnover per year, you have to understand that you taking your money elsewhere wouldn't resonate.
Fractal Design still rates the Pop Air RGB as supporting a mere 170mm power-supply depth, which seems conservative given our far-more-generous measurement of 240mm. Firstly, none of us work for PCS, it's not the type of forum to suggest taking your money elsewhere. A cookie set by YouTube to measure bandwidth that determines whether the user gets the new or old player interface.
The Pop XL Silent provides those features and even offers users the choice of a tempered-glass or damped steel panel on the left side.
