Fractal Design Meshify Mini C review

In this review we look at the Meshify C Mini, the smaller micro version comes with two pre-installed 120mm fans. There are further options to mount another 120mm fan here, or 2x 140mm units. The top allows 2x 120mm fans (or a 240mm radiator), and the rear slot - as seems to be traditional in all but the largest cases - allows for a single 120mm radiator, although this is where the second pre-installed fan sits.

It's so little!
I think it would be kind of cool to see an m-itx version of the case.
It is still huge. I miss creativity. There is just dozen of PC cases which does not have PSU above or under MB.
PSU can easily be in front of MB where traditionally HDDs reside. Since FDD is thing of the past, there is plenty more space for HDD. And time of SSD + M.2 decreased need for that space too.
PSU cable can still be in back of the case as manufacturer can deliver 90degree extension perfectly fitting length of case.
Since PSU is not under/above MB, it may even have different orientation and case can be slimmer. Placement of PSU in case is most defining decision, yet so little thinking goes into it, so little creativity.

I'm a bit of a fan of Fractals stuff, I ordered one of these as couple of weeks back and have to say I was disappointed. Compared to the Define I thought the quality was scaled back too much, the front rippled effect wasn't to my liking either. Overall I though it was "fine" certainly wouldn't use it for myself.

This is interesting but I'm not ready to bite for my future mATX build.
