Small form factor systems have become increasingly popular over the past year.  The main reason for this is the availability of Mini ITX motherboards that have some of the same features as full-sized ATX motherboards.  Having a smaller system means it is easier to take with you to LAN parties, takes up less space on your desk, and is able to fit in your home theater setup.  Today we are taking a look at a case that is perfect for building a small form factor system.  The Fractal Design Node 304 has that familiar cube design that many SFF systems has, but inside you are able to fit a Mini ITX motherboard, up to six hard drives and a full sized ATX power supply.  Read on as we take a look…

Special thanks to Fractal Design for providing us with the Node 304 Case to review.
