Focus G Overview

Included with the Focus G you have a user guide, and a box full of all the screws you’ll need to build your PC. Unfortunately, Fractal Design didn’t include any extra fan screws, in case you wanted to mount extra fans in the back or top of the case. You do get a handful of zip ties, which always come in handy for cable management.

Here we have a look at the front and back of the Focus G. Pretty standard fare. The front includes 2 optical drive bays… however they aren’t tool-less like most cases in this price range these days.

Around back you have your standard input/ouput cutout, mounting holes for a 120mm exhaust fan, and 7 PCI expansion slots. Down at the very bottom is where you mount the PSU.

As you can tell, that gunmetal gray paint is pretty glossy. Not a whole lot to see on the cable management side of the case. There is a bit of a punch out in the panel to help with space inside the case. I only wish it was a bit deeper as you’ll see why later in the article.

The top of the Focus G has offset mounting holes for 120mm or 140mm fans. If you notice the screws already in there, they are holding in a fan filter, which kind of gets in the way when trying to mount fans. And is a nuisance if you want to actually clean it. You will have to uninstall your fans to pull the filter out to clean it thoroughly.

At the front end on top, you can see the power, reset, HDD LED light, headphone / mic jacks, and USB 2/3 inputs. Not sure why Fractal Design decided to include a USB 2.0 header on the front instead of 2 USB 3.0, when the port can handle two USB 3.0 connections.

On the bottom of the case you have a fairly long fan filter, that covers the PSU area and a spot toward the front, you can mount a 120mm or 140mm fan to pull air in from the bottom, only if you sacrifice the drive bay inside the case.

Next, we’ll take a look inside the Focus G to see detailed features.
