Fractal DesignMeshify 2 Compact Black - Dark Tinted Tempered Glass - ATX Flexible High-Airflow Window Mid Tower Computer Case

With many replaceable panels the case is very friendly for builders allowing you to deattach and reattach main components like the rad mount and psu shroud. Be careful if you are using a 3080+ card however as it will be a very tight fit if you use anything other than the provided slim case fans. I barely have any clearance with my 120mm vardar fans.

I love the case overall and completely happy with my new build but the USB ports on top are finicky. Both the USB3 and USB-C. If you as much as lightly touch a device they bounce. Very odd. I reach down to plug in a second drive and the first one bounces. With an external DVD if you obviously move it a little while inserting a disk and it bounces. None of this has caused a huge issue for me and maybe I just got a bad one but for someone with high dependency on USB could be an issue. I really hate to have this issue and not give it 5 stars because I really do love it. After I got it I ordered the liquid colling and it is just so quiet and all works so well.

Was easy to build in the case for a compact and noise levels are what you’d expect from a case that puts airflow and temps first. Looks amazing as well.

I've been looking into changing my case for quite a while and finally decided to go for it. It's worth every penny. From cable management to hard drive placement, everything went smoothly while building the PC.It's compact but still has room for big video cards. The temps are really good since it uses a mesh, a pretty one at it, in front.

Ho acquistato questo casa della Fractal in quanto l'azienda è una garanzia su questa tipologia di prodotto. Il case è pensato per un assemblaggio logico, organizzato, facile e durevole con buona possibilità di upgrade. Occhio al sistema di ventilazione TOP in quanto non permette l'installazione di tutte le tipologie (360mm non c'è spazio sufficiente al top ma solo con sistemi da 240 mm). Per chi avesse esigenze maggiori consiglio sempre della Fractal il modello XL.Dotato di porta USB C frontale molto comoda con altri due ingressi USB 3.0, tasto di accensione e ingresso microfonico e casse separati.Il sistema di raffreddamento è ottimo, i pannelli laterali sono facilissimi da rimuovere e si presenta il tutto molto solido.Consiglio l'acquisto.

This case is very nice. It's a great size. You can fit a full-size ATX motherboard inside. The PSU has its own bay and there's a hard drive rack for 2 drives which can be actively cooled by the fan. 140mm fans in front and 120mm in rear. I love this case but it can get very cramped if you use SSDs instead of NVMEs.SSDs need active cooling. If you use the mounting slots behind the motherboard, the SSDs are going to get hotter and won't live as long. Fortunately, this case has a drive rack at the base next to the PSU. Gamers Nexus said that you are forced to use an SFX PSU in this case if you want to use the hard drive rack as well as a fan. This is wrong. I have a Corsair RM850x installed and there's plenty of room for the drive rack and cables as well as a 140mm fan cooling the drives.The drive rack is perfectly doable but it is cramped to get the drive rack in place. You have to put the drive rack in before the fan, so adding a new drive, removing a drive or replacing one means taking out the fan first and then the drive rack. It's quite cramped so it's quite fiddly dealing with that drive rack. But it's done that way to keep the size of the case down so it's fiddly but appreciated because I like a smaller case. The case itself is similar to the Fractal Arc Mini R2 and that was for MATX motherboards so yes, it's a nice compact case. The bottom fan filter comes out at the front which is very nice but to remove the top fan filter, you have to remove the top panel which unscrews from the back. So that's not so nice. The front panel filter just pops off so thats not too bad. The case feels very sturdy.One major annoyance is the PSU shroud. It looks nice and it's very sturdy but it's riveted and Fractal say it's essential to stay in place and keep the case together. That's a pain because it makes getting at the drive cage and PSU all the more fiddly and dark. It also means you have to have the PSU with the fan facing down. You might like it that way but it would have been nice to have a choice. I just found the PSU shroud to be in the way a lot of the time and I often wished I could remove it. Seems silly to design a case with a PSU shroud that can't be removed.Still, it's a really nice case and I didn't want the bigger Meshify 2 case so I went with this and I'm happy with it. Top marks to Fractal once again.

The case should be able to hold my graphics card, admittedly with only 3mm clearance length wise, according to the specifications. Well, that is clearly untrue because I couldn't get it in. Had to order another case. Otherwise lovely piece of kit.
