Fractal Design has announced the Pop 2 Air, a new mid-tower PC case that updates the Pop series with a stronger focus on airflow and modern hardware compatibility. The new model is designed to deliver effective cooling out of the box while keeping the clean and practical design the series is known for.
The Pop 2 Air features an open mesh front panel combined with a ventilated top section to improve air intake and exhaust. Fractal Design has also included an integrated GPU air guide to help direct airflow toward the graphics card area. The case ships with three swept-blade fans pre-installed, intended to provide balanced airflow for gaming and high-performance systems.
Support for larger components has been expanded. The Pop 2 Air can accommodate graphics cards up to 416 mm in length and supports top-mounted radiators up to 360 mm. This makes the case suitable for current high-end GPUs and a wide range of liquid cooling configurations.
On the exterior, the Pop 2 Air adopts a refined look with a cubic-pattern mesh front, subtle design accents, and a fabric pull tab. Front I/O ports provide easy access for USB and audio devices. RGB versions of the case include two dedicated buttons on the front panel, allowing users to control lighting effects directly from the case.
The interior layout is designed with ease of building in mind. Tool-free side panels allow quick access to components, while dedicated cable routing space helps keep builds organized. Bracket-free SSD mounts further simplify installation and reduce build time.
Fractal Design confirmed that the Pop 2 Air will be offered in several variants, including Solid, Tempered Glass (TG), and RGB models. Each version maintains the same airflow-focused design while offering different visual options. The company is expected to share regional availability details closer to launch.
