Fractal Design Define Mini C - Mini Tower Computer Case - mATX - Optimized for High Airflow and - 2X Fractal Design Dynamic X2 GP-12 120mm Silent Fans Included - PSU Shroud - Black

Wanted a smaller case for a quieter build. This is a pretty good case.1. Fit and finish are very good. No sharp edges or finish flaws.2. Insulated so it’s pretty quiet.3. It’s a smaller case, but there’s plenty of room to work and it’s laid out pretty well.4. Airflow is good. I have a 1060, don’t overclock, and just have stock fans in the case and all the temps stay low.5. The look is understated.It’s a nice mATX case. I’d recommend it.

Looks great with a simple design, and is very quiet. Perfect for a microATX workstation build, or even a computer going into a media center cabinet (large). Sound dampening material in the side and top panels keeps this silent.Pros: - Very quiet with it's insulated side and top panels. Bottom panel has a dust filter. Rear is open mesh. - Included fans are quiet, but efficient. - Easy to build in - Lots of room for expansion.Cons: - Rear doesn't have any included dust filters - Very heavy. This is not a lightweight case, but it is a smaller form-factorI utilized the rather loud, included fan for the Ryzen 5 3600 for this build, and even under heavy sustained load, this case kept things very quiet.

Packs to the gills with all that a system builder wants, the Define Mini C has pretty much everything you'd want from a builder's case:• Solid construction? Check!• Sound-deadening panels in the removable panels? Check!• Well-fitting parts? Check!• Multiple options for cable management? Check!• Support for both fan and AIO cooling? Check!• Reusable expansion-slot covers? Check!• Dust filter for the PSU? Check!• Removable 3.5in drive tray? Check!With the included fans, both of which being silent during operation, I had no need for extra cooling other than those provided by the CPU and GPU. (Not an over-clocker) I did find that my MicroATX motherboard only had one case fan header, and this might well be an issue for some other builders too, but splitters are available and make things easy to set up, so no fault of the case.Cable management was easy to facilitate, even with my choice of a non-modular PSU, and there are many, many ziptie points throughout the case, and it comes with pre-installed, velcro cable management ties for the case cables.An excellent case that would serve any MicroATX builder that wants a compact tower computer that does the job without having any need to shout about it with a flood of RGB lights.

These Fractal Design series PC cases are excellent, I like the design, enough room for the hardware, color finish, easy to assemble, The difference is that this model Define Mini C allow to you to install two 140mm cooling fan without remove the inlay (one piece metal lid) inside the case, for the new model Define Mini 7 you will have to remove one of the two piece plastic inlay lids if you want to add a fan this size or just do install two 120mm to avoid do that step.

Last build was in 2011 with an Antec 300 mid-tower ATX case and I'm glad all those YouTube videos on mATX cases review pointed me to this awesome Fractal case.1. First cable management. There's nothing in the way of the fans to bring fresh air into the case and cool the components.2. Hidden PSU shroud. My Seasonic M1211 520 watt PSU fit perfectly.3. SSD drive caddy4. Build quality5. Full dust filters on bottom, front and optional for top.6. M/ATX form factor. Didn't need another Mid Tower on my desk.7. Captive thumbscrews on the back panel.8. Sound insulation-I really don't know my PC is running. Its so quiet.Although the Fractal 120mm fans that came with the case were fine, they were 3 pin and wanted PWM so went with 4 pin Noctua fans.I would get a Fractal Design on my next build. Totally happy with the case and build.Fractal Design Mini CAMD Ryzen 5 2600x CPUMSI B450M Bazooka V.2 MOBMSI Geforce GTX 1060 3GB GPUCorsair Vengeance LX 3200 16GB RAMSamsung EVO 970 M.2 Nvme 500 GBSamsung QVO SSD 1 TBSeasonic M1211 EVo 520watt Bronze PSU ModularOther thoughts, I didn't put a mechanical HDD in the drive cage in the shroud as I used a SSD for storage. Cable management was a breeze but if you use the cage then a little more creativity with cable management and also watch the cooling in there.

This case is very understated, which is one of the main reasons I purchased it. As a gamer who does not want to be over the top flashy or have a tacky looking tower on my desk, this suits my needs very well. The side panels and top panel have sound dampening material, the back of the case makes for very easy cable management, and the power supply shroud makes for a clean look which hides the power supply and extra cables if you don't have a modular power supply (although I recommend having at least a semi-modular PSU).Building in this case is very straightforward, and I have yet to see a case on the market which I would like to have more at this price point. There are definitely cases out there which are built with more expensive components, but their price is double that of this Mini C.The two 120mm GP-12 X2 fans are nice and quiet while delivering decent air flow, I am sure there are better fans out there if you are looking for a super silent build, but I like these enough that I ordered a third and have 2 intake and 1 exhaust.There is one reason I did not give this product 5 stars, and that is the fact that I am in the US, and fractal design does not offer spare parts to the US customer base. If you want to purchase spare components for this case like a windowed panel if you want the option to show off your build, you are out of luck if you didn't buy the windowed panel originally. Fractal won't sell you one, and the price to have one shipped from Europe is almost as much as buying a whole windowed case. I hope Fractal begins to support the US Market at some point, but until then, 4 stars.

I've had this case since nearly 2 months now. So far so good. The built went very well, the case is sturdy and well designed. No issue with heat, even with the top noise-canceling cover on. I have a gtx1060, i5-7600k cooled by a hyper 212 evo. I put the two provided fans as front intake and I took my old Noctua 140mm to put as rear exhaust.

Ce boitier a vraiment toutes les qualités que l'on peux attendre d'un boitier : - sobre et élégant: pas de leds dans tout les sens ou de plastique cheap. Finition alu brossé, pieds alu et les rares plastiques ne font pas cheap. - silencieux: panneaux insonorisés, les éléments coulissants n'ont pas de jeux, des pointes de découplage acoustique sont prévu pour l'alim et les ventillos sont silencieux. - économique: rapport qualité/prix très correct - pratique : double fond pour le passage de cable, serre cable scratch, filtre anti-poussiere accessibles, ventilateur arrière ajustable en hauteur (pour l'aligner avec celui du CPU). Il y a foultitudes de détails qui en font un boitier très agréable à farfouiller

What a great case. Love the mATX form factor. I used this case for a budget build and it turned out amazing. So sleek, good airflow, simple to build in. Comes with sound-dampened panels which are perfect. No-brainer purchase.

Construction et finition très sérieuses, très bien ventilé et très silencieux, parfait pour moi. A noter l'alimentation en bas (indispensable) et les 5 slots en face arrière.

Quiet, compact, and sturdy. Worth every penny. Cable management is one of its strongest features, as is its semi-modular design. PSU shroud is very useful, not for aesthetics but for decluttering. If you like to cable manage, this is a great case for it. I strongly recommend a fully modular PSU though because it's short on storage for bulk. If I had to note one weak point it would be air circulation, but I'd have to be forced to gripe about it given how great the case is otherwise.
