Description of 💻 FD C DEF7X 01 Fractal Design Aluminum Computer
An expansive internal layout easily accommodates large motherboards up to E-ATX and SSI-EEB. Install up to 18 HDDs alongside 5 SSDs mounts in the default Storage Layout. Convert to Open Layout and get more than enough room for your custom water loop with large reservoirs and radiators up to 480 mm. Brushed aluminum encases a refined front door design with reversible dual-handed hinges and magnetic latching. Versatile new multi-brackets convert any unused fan position to an HDD, SSD or pump mount. Two 5.25 inch ODD bays can be converted to an additional front fan mount with filtered louver covering
Pros
- -Stylish and conservative look, nothing more than a formal suit. Now this is a rarity among the buildings, everything was filled with LGBT lighting and glass for backbiters and "gypsies". IMHO -High variability in assembling the personal car of your dreams. -High quality painting. -Good sound insulation (provided that a solid top wall is used). -Possibility of vertical installation of the video card without the use of metal saws and wire cutters. The rear plugs are removed completely and do not have partitions. -Cable management with Velcro straps. -Big and roomy.
Cons
- -Due to the fact that the front and bottom mounting points in the case have fastenings for both 120 and 140 fans, when 140-mm fans are operating, the intake air, meeting with the fastening elements of 120 mm fans, emits a rumble very similar to the rumble of aircraft propellers. I tested it with fans from Noctuary NF-A15 PWM and Silent Wings 3 140mm from Bikvaet. And this is the biggest minus for me, there is nowhere to hide from this noise, it only helps to drop the revolutions to 500, and then the point is 140 mm !? Maybe it's in these fans, but the pre-installed ones are also buzzing, although not so much. - Although the body is made of normal steel and each element of the frame individually has decent rigidity, they are fastened so that in general the structure walks decently and has poor rigidity, the side walls do not help to add it, as they are attached to the body with latches. -As for the top panel. Instead of making one, but with soundproof inserts in the places where the top fans are installed, i. E. I wanted to install one, dismantled one insert, I wanted two . and so on, we have two extremes, either solid, but without the possibility of heat removal, or all in a mesh with good ventilation, but with no sound insulation. I also had to pay for two covers, one of which will constantly gather dust in the box (the campaign could not have done without marketers). IMHO. -There is no possibility of installing fans on the side cover, opposite the video card. IMHO -Very tight USB ports on the top panel, it was dumb to push through when the flash drive was first introduced.
Pros
- Accommodates 420mm CBO both top and front. Excellent painting of the body without jambs. Convenience in laying, even under the motherboard there is a hole through which, if necessary, you can remove / install the rear die under the processor. USB type-C, and all ports are on the top of the case, not on the front. 3 fans included. The choice is air or silence due to the removable top panel. Quick release dust screens. Quick release sidewalls. Lack of glass.
Cons
- Due to the removable mesh from below, when I move it along the floor, I often grab the mesh with my hand, it rolls forward. A simple box.
Pros
- Large internal layout for large motherboards up to E-ATX and SSI-EEB.
