North XL vs Define 7 vs Pop Silent

Hello,

I'm debating whether to buy a Fractal Design North XL or normal size. I'll get the version that doesn't have the mesh, as I've read that the North XL with mesh is very unstable. I don't know if that'll be enough to solve the issues I've read people complaining about.

Some other options I'm contemplating are the Define 7 and Pop Silent. Or from a different brand, Nox Hummer Void.

I definitely prefer no-window, all black, but the North's aesthetics are my weakness.

This is my setup:

  • Gigabyte X870 EAGLE WIFI7
  • AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D 4.7/5.2GHz
  • Gigabyte GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER GAMING OC 16GB GDDR6X DLSS3
  • Corsair Vengeance DDR5 6400MHz 32 GB 2x16GB CL32 for AMD
  • Samsung 990 EVO Plus 1TB SSD 7250MB/S NVME PCIe 5.0 x2 NVMe 2.0 NAND
  • Samsung 990 Pro 2TB SSD 7450MB/S NVMe PCIe 4.0 M.2 Gen4
  • Nox Hummer GDX 750W PCIE 5.0 80 Plus Gold
  • Noctua NH-D15S chromax.black

Which one do you recommend between the following:

  • Fractal Design North or North XL (with window)
  • Fractal Design Define 7 Compact or Define 7 (no window)
  • Fractal Design Pop Silent or Pop Silent XL (no window)

I'm also open to suggestions.

Thank you so so much for your time!
