Review on Fractal Design Define 7 Black and White E-ATX Silent Modular Tempered Glass Window Mid Tower Computer Case, Made of Brushed Aluminum and Steel by Jeffrey Shatzel

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Tons of space - lots of disk/fan space - not the best airflow

I hate tight cases. It was a good choice as it has a lot of space. I have a 360mm radiator on top and three 140mm fans in front. I placed another 140mm on the bottom for more intake. Lots of space for that. The cover has a detachable front that needs to be removed if you want to use three 140mm fans. With two 140mm fans, it can be left on. However, with another fan on the bottom, it's best to remove it for airflow. The front intake filter is the only reason I gave this case 4 stars instead of 5. The filter has thick ribs that slope downward to restrict airflow. With the door closed and this filter, the inflowing air flow is severely restricted. I usually open the door during gaming sessions but have to keep the filter on as we have pets and I need the filter. However, I am waiting to see if Fractal solves this problem and offers a less restrictive front filter. Once they figure it out it should be a 5 star deal. The side panels and top panel are screwless and can be easily removed. Very convenient. Overall, I'm happy with this case, but if you want maximum airflow for gaming, I'd go with the Meshify series.
