Review on Fractal Design FD CA DEF XL R2 BL: Ultimate Computer Case for Power and Performance by Adam Chyliski ᠌

Alas, the case is far from ideal. USB 3.0 comes without adapters for boards with USB 2.0. You will have to buy not only 140mm coolers for the top and side holes, but also dust nets. The case, despite the weight, is a flimsy frame, there are no complaints about the detachable walls, they are very thick and heavy. HDD cages are absolutely not thought out for ventilation. The lower basket is not rotated at all, except for cutting metal. There is no LED for the HDD, I had to turn it on from the power supply. The LED itself is bright but not so much that it interferes, in principle, these are everywhere now. The audio wires are very short, they won't reach the sound system. When mounting a video card and other boards, you should wipe the metal from oil, you can easily get your hands dirty. A very meager instruction where what and where the screws and what threads, you have to rely more on the eye during installation. Everywhere they stand and become only 140mm, you can of course screw 120, but with holes on the sides. In general, there are big doubts that this case is better than the shifteks of the old orgom ones (I used them at my old job), they are cheaper and much larger, albeit without frills in the form of a large space for wires. So if there are big fluctuations in shiftek for $110 or it's for $165, shiftek is still better.
