    Very Nice Case

     The case is awesome and its made out of sturdy materials. I ended up swapping out the fans that came with the case with Corsair QL 120s and 240s. The only thing I did not like about the case is the thumb screws that come with the case to mount the PSU bracket are not that long. Every time that I would remove the PSU and reinstall the bracket to the chassis, I had troubles getting the threads to bit. I ended up replacing those screws with longer ones I found on Amazon. I didnt have problems with the fans that came with the case, I just wanted Corsair so I could control them with iCue. I added the EKWB distribution plate for liquid cooling and the riser to mount the GPU vertically. There is plenty of room within this case, air flow is excellent and their customer service is top notch. I had 1 side panel that the post to lock it in place was broke off (the door panel would have stayed in place without it), I contacted their customer support department and they sent a new side panel with 3 day shipping. All the mounting plates for hardware are standard sizes. There was enough room in the case to mount a 360 rad + 120 rad + distribution plate.

    Clean, Fantastic metal finishing
  

*by S***Y on Reviewed in the United States on May 8, 2020*

I love the case itself because of its simple, clear, clean, absolutely gorgeous lines. The quality of the aluminum used by Fractal Design cannot be improved upon and their finishing process makes me think of  GREAT BIG JEWEL OF SOME TYPE! I admit to turning out all my office lights at night and look at it in the glow of a very small amount of RGB treatment. SMALL!I was a wee bit disappointed that it was either missing a drive cage or that I still cannot read. English is my first, second and third language and I was not raised by a pack of wolves. Really.If you are looking for a spiked, purple and green case with lot's of rgb lighting this case would be a poor selection. For all you who do not want your wife, husband, partner or significant other to pitch a fit for you spending the money, just remind that person that you listened to her input on how ugly all of your computer equipment is and paid just a little extra in order to buy a case that X would like a lot! Why I am divorced. Don't listen.

    After having the Define R2 for years, this was a nice upgrade.
  

*by A***C on Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2020*

Due to me rushing the purchase and the search results being backwards, I purchased the Define S2 instead of the Meshify S2 which was my intention. Not a huge deal since they are exactly the same case, but have different top and front panels. I got in contact with Fractal to see if I could just buy the Meshify front panel separately, but sadly they don't sell parts outside of warranties in the US since they're bigger in Europe.My older air cooled PC is still running great in the Define S2 case and decided to stick with Fractal for my new build. I've had the new build up and going for almost 2 months and haven't had temp issues so far. Without overclocking, buying a newer GPU, and AIO, I saw no reason to buy better fans than what was provided. They're not the quietest, but do the job. Vape test showed great airflow. I have one Fractal intake at the bottom front slot, two Fractal intake in the front panel, and one 140mm Noctua exhaust in the rear. I had no issues with the fan header as some people have mentioned.Fractal did a great job with the updates in the chassis and also providing more than enough pieces, parts, and space to assemble your setup with ease. Wire management is pretty spot on. My only complaint is where you hook up wires to the USB headers at the bottom. As pictured, the USB 3.0 IO wire is huge and stiffer than the TYPE C, which means a quality wire; however, trying to hook it up and curl it 180 degrees then down through the hole is not the best design. I had to give the wire a lot of slack so it doesn't bend the header on the motherboard. To me, a 90 degree plug that could come through the hole and plug right in without 6 inches of exposed wire would've been much better, but said connector exist and will be purchasing one separately. Hooking up the wires up the PSU was tough because of it having its own section in the case. I wish I hooked those up first before running them to everything, but my intention was to bring the slack to the PSU.The hideaway slots for the hard drives are a nice touch, and so is the offset top mount for radiators for my future 360mm Radiator that is said to clear my RAM. The pop off side panels is a much better design than the Define R2's 10 tiny slot slide back panels, and the full size glass panel is a nice upgrade from the smaller plastic window on the S2.Overall very impressed with Fractal Designs keeping their classic ascetics, but making improvements where needed. If you had to choose between this or the Meshify S2, I'd say get whichever one is cheaper, because of them being so similar. If you overclock and choose to get an air cooler instead of water cooled, the meshify might be a better option due to the improved air flow. Temps under load are: CPU 50C-60C with AMD wraith, 72C bottle necked GPU, 42C RAM, and 28C M.2/Sata SSD. Board and VRM stay vary cool due to downfiring cooler.
