The aesthetics are wonderful. Fractal Design has made a very dynamic turn in their cases, with the North being one of the best I have seen/used. The photos do not do it justice at all. The wood is genuine and combined with high-quality plastic and metal surfaces, which can be easily removed for cleaning or assembly.
The cable management is correct and good, without competing with other better ones of its kind.
It has everything from instructions, screws, and various accessories. But it lacks tie-ups for better cable management, which is extremely easy for someone to obtain.
It will take you a little time to assemble it, as it is a midi and in order to fit everything, some areas are necessarily a bit tight where you have to connect cables.
The only point that has disappointed me is that it has 2 trays for HDD, while it can easily accommodate a third one (given the length of the PSU and the absence of a third fan in the front).
Regardless, it is ICONIC and worth the money for airflow/management/aesthetic.
Keep in mind that comes with 2 fans, that are not the quietest on the market.
