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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I do not cease to rejoice at the purchase, a very good deal!

The empty case weighed as much as the previous assembled system unit, and it seems that the bulk of it is thick side walls. The supplied fans are 3-pin, but quiet enough.

Pros
  • One feels the quality and thoughtfulness of ergonomics. Everywhere are convenient screws, recesses, fasteners and ventilation holes with dust filters. No need to poke your eye and a hand with a screwdriver somewhere into the bowels of the system unit and dig there, tightening the screws: the power supply unit and all drives are placed on special removable chassis, which then slide into place with a slight movement of the hand. Everything superfluous is removed behind the motherboard or down into a separate compartment, the main volume is absolutely clean. A big plus for those who open the case relatively often - whether to wipe the dust or upgrade the components. And good for ventilation.
Cons
  • Opposite the basket of 3.5 "drives, the bulk of the wires accumulate - it's a little crowded there. Although the basket can be moved, I haven't tried it yet. For my taste, it could be a little lower, the microATX board comes with a solid headroom.
