Review on Black Solid Fractal Design MicroATX Case - FD-CA-DEF-Mini-C-BK by Jay Chenier

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A great MicroATX case for those who want to keep their components safe and out of sight.

Packed with everything a system builder needs, the Define Mini C has pretty much everything you need in a system builder's case: • Rugged design? Try it out • Sound insulation panels in interchangeable panels? Try it out • Good components? Listen! • Multiple cable management options? Try it • Support for fan and AIO cooling? Listen! • Reusable expansion slot covers? Check • Dust filter for power pack? Listen! • Removable 3.5 inch drive tray? Listen! With the fans on, both of which are silent, no additional cooling was required beyond that provided by the CPU and GPU. (Not an overclocker) I've found that my MicroATX motherboard only has one case fan header and this might well be an issue for some other builds as well, but splitters are available that make setup easier so it's not the fault of the housing. Cable routing was a breeze, even with my choice of a non-modular power supply, and there are many, many zip points throughout the case, and it comes with pre-installed Velcro cable ties for the case cables. A great case for any MicroATX builder looking for a compact tower computer that gets the job done without having to scream about it with a barrage of RGB lighting.

Pros
  • Side and front panels lined with industrial sound absorbing material
Cons
  • The list will be long.
