Fractal Design Case Cases

Fractal Design makes great cases. If you don't need a side window and just want a great quality and quiet case at a fair price, this is a great option. Highly recommended. The sound dampening on the side panels works, and the included fans move plenty of air without much noise. Internal layout is easy to work with and cable management works well. Only issues: the panel on the front bottom is held on by magnets, and gets knocked off easily when moving the computer around. Honestly, drop the option for an optical drive and the cover, and make the case a bit smaller.

This case exceeded my expectations. This is my fifth Fractal Design and one of the best. The Define R4 and Define R6 are great cases but they are heavy cases and a pain to move around. This case is about 10-12 pounds lighter and very substantial. Case management was fairly easy for me, even though I have 8 drives.

We use a variety of chassis/cases for custom computer builds. Fractal Design is among the best without spending a fortune for needless frugality. If you are neat freaks like us, you're going to love the intelligent layout. Our customers love the design and finish.

This is the 3 Fractal Design case I have ever worked with and the only the 2nd one I have owned. Just like the pervious ones, the design is awesome. Easy to build in.

As a long-time fan of Fractal cases (all the way to Define/Refine, and most recently Torrent), this case combines all the best bits of Fractal in one beautiful package. It has the looks, the air flow, the build quality, ease-of-use features, and more. Can not think of anything I'd change in this case.

I bought the Fractal POP Air solid side panels case because it seems to be one of the few cases with a non-glass side panel remaining. I’ve previously owned the Fractal R4 case and love the quality of Fractal puts into their cases they are really solidly built and always have a beautiful minimalist style to them with the POP Air being no exception. My Fractal POP Air came with a side that wouldn’t remove itself, but that was no issue as B&H had a very easy and fast exchange process and I was able to receive a replacement within 5 days. The replacement arrived without issue and big props to B&H for the great exchange service. On to the case itself the positive for me were the design, the space, and ample storage drive options available. With the POP Air I was able to easily fit a Xfx 319 Merc 7800 xt without issue and that gpu is huge. For the storage drives there are so many options to arrange multiple ssds & hdds depending on your needs. Cable management is mostly easy in the case. The area where I had issues was with trying to route some cables on the bottom of my motherboard through the side grommets where they couldn’t bend and fit correctly. Instead I had to route through the bottom grommets. The biggest cons for me are that the usb-c front panel is a separate adapter that has to be purchased. Fractal really just needs to include that by default in this day and age. The other knock I have against it is that the grommets for cable wiring I would prefer they were rubber lined it would make cable routing a bit easier. But that’s really it on faults I have so far. Overall tremendous value for such a functional and beautiful case from Fractal would definitely recommend to anybody and same goes for B&H buying and exchange experience both top notch.

I've been buying fractal cases for probably a decade for good reason- modularity and airflow. I've always been more of a utility versus aesthetics purchaser however for this build I needed something with a bit more flash for my entry level gamer. As was expected the case was so easy to work with, to disassemble and assemble for my mini ATX board and to vinyl wrap. This case maker never disappoints. My experience has persuaded a few other people in my family to spend a few extra dollars on vs the basic cheapy cases available out there (usually needed for when you spent all your money on your GPU!) that are always annoying to cable management.

The Define 7 is the 4th Fractal Design case I've built a computer in(Define S, R6, Mesify C) and it is plain to see Fractal has iterated on and improved their designs in each successive case. The modularity and adaptability of this case very impressive due to the included accessories. The only two complaints I have are 1) I wish the included fans were PWM and 2) I wish the removable top radiator mount was tool-less like the side panels instead of held in by two screws. Beyond that, it's easily the best case I've ever built in.

I am thoroughly impressed with the fractal pop silent case. A lot of thought went into the design of this thing. Minimalist on the outside and many different options for hard drive mounting in various places and in various ways. Cable management is also great. I can also say that mine is extremely quiet although I did immediately replace the fans with Noctua fans, so I can’t say anything about the stock fans that came with the case because I didn’t try them. It also comes with a couple slots for optical drives which isn’t very common anymore but was something I needed. The only thing I ran into was something that I already knew from reading another review and that is that the case has a spot for a USB-C jack on the top, but does not come with the connecting cable. You have to order it separately for about $15 which is well worth it and it’s easy to install.

The case comes with an excess of cooling. The stock Fractal Design fans are amazing. The case fans are also pretty quiet. I typically used Fractal Design cases in the past for there super noise dampening to keep the PC quiet during operation but the Torrent has surpassed my expectations for quiet operation. At around $185 with all the included fans this case is a steal. I was building out a Lian Li O11 which would have cost significantly more to build out with a similar cooling solution. Cable management is probably the most effective system I've utilized in a case and is necessary. I added a 3.5" hard drive and a 2.5" hard drive which was manageable without any bulging from the cable management side panel, but if you plan on having more than two 3.5" drives then this case is not for you. The PSU is in the top of the case which is unique but definitely works well and provides a great place to hide excess cables. The included fan hub also works great for simplifying the connection of the 5 built in fans to a single motherboard fan header.
