Fractal Design Meshify C - Compact Computer Case - High Performance Airflow/Cooling - 2X Fans Included - PSU Shroud - Modular Interior - Water-Cooling Ready - USB3.0 - Tempered Glass Light - Blackout

The media could not be loaded. Although the case is a bit smaller compared to other Mid Tower cases, the air flow is great as advertised, everything was able to fit with minimal issues. I actually bought it because it’s not an oversized mid-tower, but a bit smaller than my old corsair case. My home is small and tight so reduced size was a selling point to me. Not disappointed!The only challenge I had was the cable management took a bit of effort. There was ample room in the back behind the motherboard to run cabling with zip tie downs and factory provided velcro ties. But oh boy, it’s a bit of work running cabling to both look decent AND not restrict air flow, in a case that’s not a full tower beast. In the end I love the size of the case, it’s very nice in white which greatly accents the lighting.My AIO liquid cooler fits the front of the case so I am glad this case has the mesh front to pull air in via this setup. From what I read and saw on videos, the 240MM Radiator on the top of the case was NOT an option with some motherboards, and when I had the board installed I decided to see if this would be the situation with my build. Sure enough it was too tight I didn’t even attempt it so I went right to the front Radiator install, no issues as cooling is perfect (see HWINFO Screenshots). Temps are the lowest I have had in any prior build.As for noise... what noise? Each generation the fans get quieter and this case I hardly know it's even running. Color me impressed. It's both quiet and cool.The dust filters seem to be built well and remove easy enough, although effectiveness will be seen over time. I live in a dusty environment, with pet hair. I am not going to be happy if the case gets dirty inside, but I’ve yet to see even the best case filtration stop all dust. I love the window, it’s NOT tinted, it is glass, and looks beautiful inside lit up. If you get this case, enjoy it, you will not regret the purchase.My only advise, if u buy a modular PSU be sure to anticipate all your power needs prior to completing your build, as the back of the PSU is not really accessible below the shroud at the bottom. It's a challenge just getting my fingers in that tight space. I am planning to eventually add a SSD backup drive internally, and I added a SATA cable just in case, which is not connected yet.

Review of the MicroATX Dark Tint TG version of the Meshify C.Going towards my second build, I upgraded from an old, budget, acrylic side panel ATX case so it was daunting to build in a smaller case but extremely exciting to get the quality upgrade of tempered glass and Fractal Design's amazing case features.Parts/Cable Management: In my opinion, the Meshify C Mini's compact form factor and ability to hold and manage feature packed parts in a clean and organized way is what blew me away. I managed to mount my Corsair H100i CPU cooler radiator on the front of the case for optimal CPU cooling, comfortably fitting my GTX 1080 (10.5 inches) on my mATX motherboard, all while keeping cables clean and not impeding airflow. The SSD bracket behind the motherboard keeps them completed hidden and easy to get cables to. Then the full length power supply shroud and the removable hard drive cage allow for a ton of room to manage cables in the back all while staying hidden from the tempered glass viewing window.Looks/Build Quality: The tinted tempered glass is the highlight in my opinion. It provides a clean stealthy look from the sidewhen off, while providing a dimmer but beautifully clean RBG shine when powered on. The overall build is strong with solid, grippy feet. The mesh on the front, bottom, and top are an awesome feature for dust management.Airflow: No complaints on airflow. My CPU cooler's radiator is monted on the front with two 120mm intake fans and three 120mm exhaust fans on the top and back. All tempts are solid with my GTX 1080 at 100% usage not flinching on long play times. The front mounted radiator allows my CPU to also get great tempts as fresh air first moved through there.Noise: This is probably the only category this case does not excel in. As one can imagine with the many perforations and mesh for airflow and dust management, there will be noise output when the system fans are cranked. But a nice pair of headphones removes this worry completely.Conclusion: A 10/10 mATX case. But with all cases, do your research in regards to what parts (length/size) will comfortably fit.

My friend recommended this case to me on my first PC that I built.Easy to clean out when things get dusty. Easy to disassemble for part swapping.I have 5 case fans in it + 2 fans on my CPU cooler. Great airflow.I recommend not using CPU AIO liquid coolers for this case unless you provide a good amount of air-intake.

The last computer I built was 9 years ago and cases sure have come a long way. This case has a very modular design: you can access every part of the case with minimal effort. You can also tuck cables away on the back side of the case, behind the metal sheet and there are enough pass-throughs in the sheet that very little wiring will be visible once you connect everything. The result is a lot of open space for air flow.My only negative about this case is that it has no side fan to help cool the video card. My 3080TI FTW3 idles at 45c, whereas on my old case, it would idle around 40c. My old case was bigger and had a side fan and I obviously bought the Meshify C knowing it lacked these things, but I didn't realize not having a side fan would make such a big difference in GPU temps. 50c is high for idle temperatures, but the card can certainly handle it, so it's not the end of the world.Be sure to fill up all the fan slots: with the lack of a side fan, you'll need all the airflow you can get to keep the GPU cool.

this case is great, word of warning. the hardware to mount your motherboard is hidden in the case its' self, or at least mine was, I opened a trouble ticket with the manufacturer. they sent me a url with instructions on where to look in this model to find it. I found the parts in the PSU bay.other then that, very thing went smooth.
