## Long description

The Fractal Design Ridge Small Form Factor Black is a compact PC case engineered to fit discreetly into living rooms, workspaces and entertainment setups. Evolving from a slimline format, Ridge is sized for small form factor builds while supporting powerful components. It accepts Mini-ITX motherboards, SFX and SFX-L power supplies, and offers a 12.6‑liter internal volume with overall dimensions of approximately 110 mm (W) x 374 mm (D) x 395 mm (H). The case includes two pre-installed 140 mm PWM Aspect fans, a fabric front panel within a CNC-machined aluminium frame, and front I/O with USB Type-C for modern connectivity.
Advantages
Ridge combines a minimized footprint with the capacity to house long GPUs (up to 335 mm) and multiple storage drives. Its ventilated all-around design and pre-installed fans provide a foundation for effective airflow in a compact chassis. The case allows both horizontal and vertical placement through configurable feet and permits full access to the build by removing side panels. Front connectivity includes two USB 3.0 Type-A ports, one USB Type-C port and combined audio jack, while a pre-installed riser card (PCIe 4.0 or PCIe 3.0) simplifies GPU installation.
Suitable for
Compact gaming builds using Mini-ITX motherboards
Home theatre PC (HTPC) and living room entertainment systems
Small workspace or desk systems where space is limited

Usage recommendations
For better cooling performance in demanding workloads or gaming sessions, ensure unobstructed airflow around the ventilated panels, use the included 140 mm PWM fans with a motherboard fan curve or fan controller, and select an SFX(-L) power supply that provides sufficient wattage for your chosen GPU. Verify GPU length and riser card compatibility before final assembly.
