Fractal Design Meshify 2 Compact chassis review - Specification and features

Specification and features

Some marketing collateral first:

„ The Meshify 2 Compact is a performance-oriented ATX case that focuses on flexibility and space efficiency to maximize component and cooling support in a minimal space with a bold sense of style. As a direct successor to the still highly successful Meshify C that first established the series in 2016, the Meshify 2 Compact boasts one of the most extensive lists of design improvements and upgrades to be seen in a single iteration. Gone are the corner bolts on the TG panel, replaced by a seamless top-latching design that’s more attractive, easier to handle, and more resistant to breakage. A fully removable top panel assembly opens the case up completely for unrestricted access on three sides. The Meshify 2 Compact’s updated interior layout allows for much larger GPUs than the previous gen, and comes preinstalled with a total of three Dynamic X2 fans.”
