We’re taking a look at the new Fractal Design MESHIFY 2 COMPACT, a mid-tower PC chassis with a mesh front design that supports good airflow. It focuses on flexibility and space-efficiency to maximize component and cooling support in a minimal space with a bold sense of style. The Meshify 2 family was introduced in November 2020.

The review seems to indicate this is an excellent case but the verdict only giving the lowest tier of award "Approved" (other than no award). I would have thought this would have received "recommended" at least after reading through the review. There only dissatisfaction in the review appears to be the fan hub and price increase from previous generation. Is this what knocked it down to "Approved"?

If it would appear on the market like one year ago, it would fully deserve the "Recommended" award. Now, with this (fierce) competition, the price, and lack of some features like a fan hub or the GPU support bracket (+ it's not as compact as the predecessor) - for me, it deserves the "Approved" award. Still, this is a good one.

Only one minor correction: the front can have a 240 radiator also, as it can have a 280, and a 360...I am looking for a deal on this chassi, and when I find one, its a sure buy.
