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

1. Illiterate arrangement of holes for mounting 12cm fans on the top wall, i.е. the manufacturer assumes mounting exactly 12 cm fans shifted close to each other. In this case, there is a whole range of fans with a 14 cm form factor, but the mounts are 12 cm - the width of their case will not allow you to install two such fans side by side on the top cover. Provide the manufacturer with holes for 12 cm right in the middle of the gratings and there would be no problems. Also, this form factor of fans cannot be installed on the front panel - they do not fit into the tray (one fits, but two do not). 2. Mediocre plastic and its manufacture of the front panel of the case (not the doors - the quality is at its best there, namely the panel and the plastic that is hidden under the door, including the plastic of the door that closes the front fans. 3. Inability to completely clean the front dust filter without removing the installed fans. 4. The absence of any guiding side walls, the wall simply leans against and is screwed - hence the relatively poor clamping along the upper and lower edges of the walls.
