Review on Fractal Design FD CA DEF XL R2 BL: Ultimate Computer Case for Power and Performance by Micha Kamierczak ᠌

feel free to take the case, it is perfect for those who love silence and comfort when watching movies and those who love active games! With its pros: This case was created for those who love silence, as well as the possibility of upgrading the PC. 1) it will fit any motherboard. 2) on the basis of this case, you can create a server with 12 hard drives, given that river sats will be installed in 5 * 25 bays. 3) fastenings for hard drives are thought out to the smallest detail, even for a 1.8-inch SSD, mounting holes are provided and the corresponding bolts are included with the case. 4) the case is finished with soundproofing material, the doors are on the sides, even in place for additional coolers there is also noise. 5) ports and buttons and connectors are made with high quality. The usb ports are a bit tight, but they will loosen up over time. microphone and headphone jacks are tighter than usb, although they will also happen with time. There are only two buttons on the case, these are power and reset, they were made with a bang, I’ll say this separately about the reset button, it’s a little deepened into the case and in order to use it you have to press it with your fingertip or fingernail, in general it will be extremely difficult to accidentally touch it. 6) the reobas is built into the case and is a voltage switch 12V 7V 5V, and most importantly, it is hidden behind the front panel and is not visible. 7) compartments 5*25. the compartments have plugs that are easy to remove and just as easy to put in place. the basket of compartments 5*25 has no special quick-release holders. everything is attached to the basket with bolts, of which there are a lot in the kit. 8) initially 3*140 mm coolers were installed in the case, they are quite quiet, their volume completely depends on the reobass. 9) the power supply is installed from the bottom and it can be installed both with the cooler up and with the cooler down. 10) there is a lot of space between the doors, which is good, on the one hand you can put a large CPU cooler, on the other hand you can hide the wires and cables well. Got cons: There is no built-in speaker that signals the work of the mother. there is no HDD activity indicator, although this is not a drawback at all, as professional users can do without it.
