Case deals are poppin off for Cyber Monday — the black version of Fractal Design's Pop Air TG ATX mid-tower chassis is 40% off, priced at just $59.99 at Newegg. The case provides all the features you'd expect from a mid-tower case, including AIO radiator accommodation, tempered glass side panel, integrated intake and exhaust fans, storage trays that support 3.5" and 2.5" SSDs, all packed in a sleek package with a mesh front panel.
We never reviewed the vanilla Pop version, but we did review its silent counterpart and gave it a four-star rating for its excellent sound profile. Still, the regular Air variant fixes our biggest complaint with the Silent version, that being the previous chassis's lack of airflow.
The Pop Air sports a mesh front panel paired with two 120mm intake fans that come from the factory. There is also an additional 120mm in the rear that comes stock, which helps exhaust air out of the case. For those who love liquid cooling, there is enough room to fit a single 280mm in the front, 240mm up top, and 120mm in the rear.
There are four storage trays on the chassis out of the box, consisting of two 3.5"/2.5" drive bays and two SSD brackets behind the motherboard tray that support two more 2.5" SSDs. GPU support is excellent, supporting cards as long as 355mm, which is enough to support most large graphics cards on the market, including non-flagship third-party RTX 5090 cards. For those going for an air-cooled setup on the CPU, the Pop Air supports CPU air towers up to 170mm in height. That's enough height to run Noctua's flagship NH-D15 G2 and its new Chromax black variants.
Sadly, only the black version of the normally colorful Pop Air is available with the aformentioned 40% discounted price. Regardless, for just $60, you are getting a chassis from a very reputable case manufacturer that normally competes with cases in the $100-$120 range, which is capable of working with entry-level and high-end hardware. You can find adequate cases in the $60 range, probably some with just as good airflow as the Pop Air, but chassis that cost triple-digit prices (like the Pop Air) typically have more quality of life features, such as better cable management, better construction, and higher quality materials.
