Nfortec Caelum Black is a new computer case from this Spanish manufacturer, which is committed to offering “more for less” throughout its product catalog. The computer tower that we had the opportunity to analyze is a good example: well designed and finished, efficient, attractive and at a very low price within the reach of any budget.

As the foundation of a house, the chassis is the basis for building a good desktop PC. It must be made of quality materials; be large enough to install any type of component; support future updates; they allow you to build cooling systems that keep temperatures in check and with proper cable routing that also improves computer ventilation and helps prevent errors and malfunctions.

Of course, if the tower is visually attractive, so much the better, because many users want to “show off” it and place it on the desktop. In the aesthetic part, the RGB lighting systems or the use of tempered glass on the sides, which allow a look into the interior, stand out. Price is another important factor. There are huge, huge and very expensive towers that not all users need. Virtue is in balance and we already assume that the model in question it does its job very well.

Nfortec Caelum Black, specifications

The new Nfortec tower enables mounting configurations in the three most used formats on consumer computers: ATX, MicroATX and ITX. At 395 x 200 x 430mm, it’s big enough, but not over the top, that it doesn’t become an oversized wreck, difficult to handle and place on your desktop if you so choose.

The chassis is made of steel, thick enough to be durable, safe and stable, but without penalizing its weight of just over 3 kilograms (without components). The overall design follows the lines of modern towers with a dedicated space for the power supply at the bottom for easy mounting, cable management and overall cooling. It has a group of positions for installing hard drives or SATA SSDs in 3.5 or 2.5 inch formats.

It has room to fit up to 6 120mm fans, including liquid cooling systems if you need it, such as Nfortec’s own model, the Hydrus RGB 120, although others from any manufacturer can be installed. Nfortec supplies three RGB fans as standard installed at key points, two in the front and the third in the back.

It has room for seven expansion slots, which is more than enough to mount components on a standard motherboard. can be mounted dedicated graphics cards up to 320 mm in length and sources in ATX format up to 180 mm.

It has everything you need on the front. A button to turn on/off the PC, connect peripherals to the three USB ports, headphones or speakers thanks to the built-in 3.5mm audio jacks and with an additional button that can function as RESET and also an LED, for controlling more than 15 different lighting effects fans.

To highlight details such as side tempered glass this gives it a modern and premium aesthetic and dust filters located at the top and back. Its outer design is visible and part of the front part made of mesh finished with a fixed part with the manufacturer’s logo. A successful design for our taste, simple but elegant and in a manageable size.

We leave you with a tabular overview of its specifications:

Installation and operation

Disassembly of the metal side, tempered glass and front can be done without the need for tools, and in a minute we have a box ready to assemble. We dismantle everything so that we can work more comfortably.

For the test, we installed an ASUS motherboard that contains an AMD Ryzen processor in the AM4 socket. The board has a micro-ATX format, but as you will see in the pictures, there is enough space for an ATX installation of any platform, AMD or Intel.

The dedicated space at the bottom for the power supply is a success and all modern towers of some level choose this design, which makes this task much easier, both for mounting the PSU itself and for running the power cables to the board. components, keeping the board as clean as possible.

The idea should be to reduce it as much as possible so that nothing disturbs the air circulation and we have good ventilation to keep the temperatures in check, which is a critical part of any computer. Dust filters always help, because you already know what can accumulate in the PC case.

We didn’t install liquid cooling because the chosen platform (for the test with the Ryzen 5 5500 processor) doesn’t need it, and the stock fan from AMD is more than enough. But the radiator could be mounted at the top without much difficulty. And if you decide to air-cool the CPU, but want to install another type of fan that is larger than the standard one, there is plenty of room for it due to the width of the tower. Three additional 120mm fans can be additionally installed for general cooling.

The cable routing The correct and necessary cables to connect the buttons and ports on the front pass through the back, and the holes created in the panel make it easy to slide it into different parts of the motherboard. It has room for several storage units, both 3.5 and 2.5 inches, although these are becoming less necessary due to the widespread use of PCIe-connected M.2 SSDs on the same motherboard. In our case, we placed a SATA SSD in the back without much difficulty.

The Nfortec includes a small pouch with additional screws to secure the board and the rest of the components, and has four circular, rubberized studs at the bottom to keep the tower stable on any surface.

The truth is like this the installation proceeds without any problems. With a little patience and additional duct tape if you need it to hold the cabling, you can leave a pretty clean internal space and free the CPU, chipset or RAM from obstructions that penalize air circulation.

After installation, it’s time to decide whether you want to place the box under the table or on it, depending on the available space and your taste. If you use a large table and like to see your tower, you should know that this model is not out of place with its classic but elegant design and size that we can consider sufficient for the content.

He tempered glass side It always provides a higher level of finish and allows you to see the internal components in action. The button listed on the front allows you to change the color of the fans in a super easy way and access over 15 different lighting effects to customize your device and/or match it with other peripherals you use.

In conclusion, we can say that in the tests we did not have any problems with operation or temperatures. The three fans that come standard with the tower and their strategic placement keep the temperature under control and three more can be fitted if needed.

conclusions

The Nfortec Caelum Black is a computer tower ready to mount consumer motherboards of any size. Made of lightweight steel to support the weight, it has enough space to install any type of component, including large dedicated graphics cards, power supplies of any power and liquid cooling systems.

The dedicated space at the bottom for the power supply is a real bonus for your installation and cable management. The tempered glass panel gives it an edge over all good tower and allows you to show off the internal components, while the mesh front design facilitates airflow for optimal cooling and provides the visual appeal you always need if you mount your tower on a desk.

Nfortec Caelum Black is available on the manufacturer’s website for a price from €59.95. Very economical for what it offers and within reach of any budget, therefore together with its features it gets our recommended product logo.

Let’s say Nfortec sells the same tower white finish with the Caelum White model, which looks really cool. It’s the same price as the Black model, and just like that, it’s also available at retailers like Amazon.
