[ IDENTIFIED ENCLOSURE // NODE 304 MINI-ITX CUBE ]
Fractal Design Node 304
250 × 210 × 374 mm (W × H × D); GPU up to 310 mm with drive brackets configured, CPU cooler 165 mm.
VARIANT / ARCHIVAL CAVEAT: Node 304 Black/White use same base enclosure; Node 804 is a different microATX cube. Preserve drive rails, fan controller and front filter.
Mechanical specifications and fit
| Catalog identity | Node 304 Mini-ITX cube |
|---|---|
| Dimensions and clearances | 250 × 210 × 374 mm (W × H × D); GPU up to 310 mm with drive brackets configured, CPU cooler 165 mm. |
| Drive bays / mounts | Six 3.5/2.5-inch drives via three removable brackets; bracket removal improves GPU or cooling clearance. |
| Board, system and compatibility | Mini-ITX/Mini-DTX board and ATX PSU; two expansion slots. Long GPU/cabling conflicts with drive brackets, so full six-drive capacity is conditional. |
| Revision / identification | Node 304 Black/White use same base enclosure; Node 804 is a different microATX cube. Preserve drive rails, fan controller and front filter. |
Preservation and installation notes
Node 304 Black/White use same base enclosure; Node 804 is a different microATX cube. Preserve drive rails, fan controller and front filter.
Mini-ITX/Mini-DTX board and ATX PSU; two expansion slots. Long GPU/cabling conflicts with drive brackets, so full six-drive capacity is conditional.
- Capture the complete model/SKU, serial/date label, board assembly and bay/backplane/riser identifiers before disassembly; keep matched screws, trays, carriers, feet and cables with the case.
- Check the cited manual's specific build option before transferring hardware. Published maximum GPU, drive, fan or radiator capacity may not be simultaneous when a removable cage or alternative riser occupies that volume.
- For rack and vintage systems, preserve the exact rails, shields, doors, brackets and model-specific safety instructions; do not infer compatibility from a familiar brand or physical connector shape.
