Review on Computer case Fractal Design Define 7 Light TG black by Mateusz Smoliski ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Reliable purchase, guaranteed to be a good purchase.

The workmanship is very high, I was impressed!, I did not expect . before that there was a Thermaltake Shark - it feels like I moved from a Zhiguli to a good Volvo and now I understand what kind of tin a thermaltake shark was (n. B.!: not all thermaltake sharks are the same! Surely there are excellent corps). In general, it was difficult to find a good case for a workstation with two RAID1 (two mirrors of 2 HDDs) and one SSD for the OS, that is, only 4 x HDD 3.5 "and 1 x SSD. I moved the computer to a new case, so I can say for sure in terms of cooling efficiency and vibration / noise, since nothing has changed except for the case. In the old case in simple mode, Tproc 32, motherboard 41. In the new 30 and 37, respectively. Vibrations from the work of the HDD dampens superbly, apparently due to the fact that it is heavy and strong in itself. It makes much less noise, I think due to the well-thought-out design and the minimum of open holes, plus the sound insulation of panels and doors. The standard fans are quite quiet, with the Asus Sabertooth P67 motherboard at a nominal value of 1.000 rpm, the rear one spins normally at 720 rpm, the front one 650 rpm. Added backlight Deepcool RGB350 - the right thing for the full effect) In general, I recommend the case by 120%. Almost a year has passed since the assembly, I decided to add. - Impressions from the case are only positive. - The noise level is low (I know what I'm talking about, I tried to make the computer quiet in the previous case for a long time and unsuccessfully). - Dust filters, in my opinion, quite well trap dust, dirt and earth and the previous case. Once every 1-2 years, it will still need to be cleaned inside. Now I recommend it 200% :)

Pros
  • Workmanship, noise isolation, vibration resistance, excellent ventilation, side glass
Cons
  • Once the fan squealed at startup . I don’t know what it is, whether the fan is defective or its design feature. In a year or two I will probably change them to something with hydrodynamic bearings. I figured it out, this is a problem with a small 50 mm fan on the motherboard, so the case has another +
