Fractal Define C Compact Review

I really like this I must say. As much as I like the Define R4 I have with its ease of use and quiteness, it's just obnoxiously large for what I have in it given I have no interest in water cooling or sticking a bazillion 3.5' drives into it. There's a good 20-30% of it completely empty particularly at the front. Anyone remember the days of ATX cases being much smaller? Many weren't even wide enough to fit 3.5' drives horizontally. They'd put most of the modern cases to shame in terms of space efficiency.

Damn... This was almost like reading something from my own brain/thoughts :mellow:
 
Suck it... I'm in love with this, so I'm actually going to go and buy it tomorow at the shop and get rid of my Define S.

Hehe nice :D ... It looks to be a very astonishing case indeed. And especially considering how awesome the original Define S is, this must just be as awesome. If not more awesome :)

But is it/will it be lighter though than the Define S? Despite/considering having a full system inside?. Or maybe you don't have the Define S yourself? Although, I do have a strange feeling that you do or did? :huh:...

I have the define S and they are heavy cases, the sound proofed side panel weight's a tonne alone. I just need something more manage able.

:lol: Wraith does own one where do you think the Fractal got the idea from for the PSU cover :p
 
Just arrived!!:D DPD and Scan are brilliant!!

I'd like to do a build log, but only have crappy phone camera...
 
I would like to buy one, The only problem for me there would be too much over hang with my AIO, that is why for my next case i want no over hang for all of the parts i have, They all must have their over area.

So sad that this case is not going to suit my needs.
