Review: Fractal Design Define S
Silence and aesthetics, two keywords to keep in mind with the new Fractal Design Define S. We review the Design Define S, a silent, stylish mid-tower chassis. This all predominantly black and white chassis comes with plenty of cooling options, great design and it will house up-to ATX motherboards. This product is made with airflow and liquid cooling in mind to serve the more performance oriented PCs. You'll be excited about storage, style, USB 3.0 and low noise levels.

I always liked their way of building cases. I bet it's one of the most silent cases in it's respective size division. Certainly it could house a nice small gaming rig, an office PC or small workstation, and if you can go without the optical drive it certainly could house a nice HTPC due to it's low noise. The only downside: the price tag that not exactly says 'I'm a small case'

I am just glad that they have gone back to clear windows. I bought the Arc Midi R2 with the tinted window and I have to say that as good as the case is, I do regret the purchase.

Wake me up when Fractal releases a microATX case that's as small/light/aesthetically pleasing as the still unbeatable "Silverstone Temjin TJ08-e", but retains Fractal Design noise reduction and advanced air and liquid cooling options in a modular case config. Will pay whatever it takes for that. Will not pay for anything less.

Wow i like this, only thing that i not fond of is there is no ODD bay then again i barely use my ODD so maybe i might break down and get external Bluray burner, love the fact all the HDD/SSD have been moved to behind the motherboard plate. nothing is restricting the fans now no HDD cages, just components on the motherboard
This or the Define S or R5 Black. will be used in my next build.
Define S
(WxHxD): 233 x 451 x 520mm 79-89$
R5
(WxHxD): 232 x 451 x 521mm 110-120$
The R5 is pretty much same dimensions and it costs alot more neither are small cases i dont even see them as mid size either.

Finally! Someone with enough cojones to remove the ugly drive cages from the front and re-allocate them in the back, they don't need to be visible and obstruct the air flow, great job FD and very good pricing too!!!
