Review on πŸ’» FD C DEF7X 01 Fractal Design Aluminum Computer by Joaquin Bennett

Revainrating 5 out of 5

It's huge External components

We designed and planned this case so that I could fit everything in it. I can even fit my entire current desktop computer tower with keyboard and mouse in it. Will definitely have fun building this one. And for those who are curious, it even fits into larger EE-ATX boards with plenty of free space for 4+ drives (can get a lot bigger). If you're using laptop-sized SSDs, you can probably install at least 8 drives, not counting NVMe you might have on board. It is very modular. It really depends on the board, expansion cards and power supply. I was very pleased to see that this chassis can also be configured as a storage server. Not that I need it anymore, but I'll definitely be doing one of my future builds this way. It also has a ridiculous amount of fan mounts. So there will be no problems with cooling. And there's plenty of room for liquid cooling or refrigeration. I don't know yet if I need anything other than fans. It also comes with a lot of hardware like screws and stand. I'm not sure I need more dead ends, but it's too early to tell. More came in the package. I am very happy that I bought this case. Now I'm waiting for the rest of the parts so I can start assembling everything.

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • Expensive insurance
