Fractal Design Meshify 2 Black ATX Flexible Light Tinted Tempered Glass Window Mid Tower Computer Case

Personally, I am all about practicality. I think things have gone a bit too far with all the extra RGB lights that people put in their cases but to each their own. I am not bad-mouthing anyone who has that going on for their system, I am just saying some of it is too much for ME.There is only 1 con that bothers me thus far. The case comes with a stock vertical mount, however, I don't feel comfortable using it as it positions the GPU too close to the glass for my liking. Other than that I don't have any other real complaints. Now that we've got that out of the way, let's move on to what I DO like about the case.The practicality of this case is excellent, the functionality is what I have been looking for for quite some time now. I am upgrading from an NZXT H510 which was a good case too but my major complaint with it was airflow. In this case, airflow is not an issue as the front panel is open which allows my Corsair H100i Elite LCD to breathe appropriately.The number 1 feature of the Meshify 2 is modularity. When you take the case apart you have so much room to work with. The top cover comes off completely which keeps you from having to contort yourself or move the case a bunch of times in order to get the right angle to plug something in that is hard to reach. It has so many different configurations you can use for your setup. There are so many different options from the size of the motherboard you choose to use to drive mount locations/configurations and cable management is a breeze. The 2 USB 3.0 and Type-C connections on the front panel are an added bonus as well.Shout out to Fractal for a job well done, this case is exactly what I was looking for and suits my needs perfectly.

Summary:The FD Meshify 2 has lots of conveniency features that make system building and maintenance a breeze. The back section of the case is wide enough to support a side connecting PSU (like the Corsair shift series), and the built in cable management is excellent. The top, front, and bottom of the case have dust filters, and the top of the case is removable making top mounted fans/rads easier to clean and cable routing a snap. The case is similar in height and depth to a Corsair 4000D, but has greater width to accommodate larger GPUs and push/pull front mounted rads.Details:I bought the FD Meshify 2 after reaching some size limitations in the Corsair 4000D. Although the 4000D is a great case, there are some issues with high profile RAM and longer GPUs. If you decide to run the Dominator Titanium RAM without removing the heatsinks, the 4000D is just barely too small for a top mount rad (even if you are using a 240mm rad), and if you are running an RTX 4080, there's barely any clearance between the GPU and a front mount rad with fans in just push or pull configuration.The main compartment of the FD Meshify 2 is 110mm wider than the Corsair 4000D, which provides ample space for a long GPU and a push+pull front mount radiator, with some room to spare. The height and depth of the Meshify 2 are almost identical to the 4000D, so it doesn't feel like upgrading to a significantly larger case.

Vibration concerns when using mechanical drives.- Manual missed the optional screw to secure the Hard Drive storage tray to the back bracket.I purchased the Meshify 2 to house my home server and to run a few VM’s. I needed a case that would hold many storage devices. A quality case is paramount. I wanted a modern case that would not just house all the drives but also promote good wire management. Cable pass-throughs around the motherboard, expressly along the top for the CPU wire cables. No sharp edges that would inflict harm on wire or flesh. Exceptional airflow with good dust management. Removable top to allow greater access to the CPU power cables and installing a CPU cooler. A sturdy case that would last for years and support future builds. I spend more time researching my case than any other single item.This is the second Fractal Design case that I own. I have tried most of the major brands and returned to Fractal. Fractal's case not only met my demands but also exceeded them. Look at the manual at all the possible locations where you can mount a storage device.I am extremely satisfied with my purchase of the Meshify 2 case. Thanks to the Fractal Design team for continuing their legacy of a quality product.

High end materials, airflow, vent filters, cable management, fan controls, nice to look at. Overall it's a great case. I'm very satisfied with this upgrade. If purchasing this at full price though I'd shop around as this is a bit on the higher end of pricing for the case features.The cons: The included fans are not PWM fans. The power supply configuration is kind of a mess if you have extra hardware. I'm running an extra video card and sata cables and it's just a mess. At certain fan rpms I was getting vibrations from the case. After changing the fan curve and adding in some dampeners on the fans it's quiet and cool now.Overall it's great and I would purchase it again.

We’ve ordered a number of these cases. All have worked perfectly.
