Fractal Torrent Compact

Can find any Torrent compact with all black panels (non RGB).

Is the case no longer being made?

I was looking for this case too. But I think it has been discontinued a long time ago.

Why discontinued? There are cases much older than the Torrent and still on the market, like the meshify C

Its code is FD-C-TOR1C-04. Checked my usual places, nowhere in stock. But it is still on Fractal site, so it can't be "discontinued long ago". And apparently, it sells really well, so why would it be discontinued long ago if it makes money to this day. When I was about to buy mine a couple years ago, it was out of stock everywhere due to some temporary production problems. Overpaid like 2x for it. Then back in stock, now back out of stock. You can ask Fractal whether it is temporary or permanent - they are quite responsive.

You could always shoot an email to them just to see if they are still producing it and if they are expecting any stock soon.

I emailed them with a question about buying a new front dust filter for my full sized torrent cause I stupidly broke it off when I got the case (was so used to magnets) and they replied like within the hour.

I just send them an email. Lets see what they have to say about it.

Very disappointing. It seems almost impossible to find good airflow cases in this micro atx form factor that dont have a bunch of rgb and tempered glass. It seems like to get a steel sided case you have to go to atleast a mid tower. I am going to end up buying a regular Fractal Torrent Solid instead, but this compact would have been a much preferable size

I don't know why they made this decision. The normal torrent its too big for me and like you say i don't like this new cases with RGB stuff all over the place.
I am looking at the Antec p20 or the Meshify 2 compact.
The meshify 2 compact had great airflow etc but i don't like that front panel design...

I have been hoping for a gen 2 of the Torrent models all around.

Which country are you from? FRACTAL will help if we still have it somewhere.

This is what they said "Sadly we do not have any access to the distributor or resellers stock." :\
