The quality is at the level, I am satisfied with everything.

After Cooler Master MasterBox Q300L heaven and earth. Adequate price for this case is not higher than 7000r. It is blown well, due to the fact that it is wide and there are holes on the back wall, the air is expelled well. Equipment: GPU: RTX 3070 MSI Ventus 3x CPU: Ryzen 5 2600 RAM: 32 Gb Crucial Ballistix DDR4 - 3600 MB: MSI B450 Mortar Max SSD: M2 Kingston a2022 Nvme, Sata Patriot Burst 960 Gb I installed 3 DeepCool GamerStorm TF120 White fans from the old case, they coped with their work…

Pros
  • Quality, equipment. Case ventilation.
Cons
  • The price with all truths and not truths came out at 7400r. in dns under 10, in Regard about ~ 8600 (I do not remember exactly). Cloth for gl , after two months I wiped the gl and stains .

I’ll clarify right away that this is my first modern case in this price category, before that my computers were assembled in the simplest cases. Of course, against their background, I have excellent impressions after assembling the components in the FRACTAL DESIGN Meshify Mini C, in its use and in its appearance. I don’t have much to compare with, so my review is rather isolated and I don’t have any conclusions regarding the pros or cons of competitors. For clarity, I left a photo of the…

Pros
  • I will leave my few words about this case. The airflow was fine with me. But if we turn to professional tests, the temperatures in this case, relative to other cases, are not the most competitive. Of course, the small size of the FRACTAL DESIGN Meshify Mini C case also matters, so if you're looking for record-breaking temperatures and better blowing performance, it might be worth looking into other cases. At the same time, I am more than satisfied with the temperatures, namely my components. The i7 11700f processor, with the kraken m22 single-section dropsy installed, reaches 48-57 degrees in games, depending on the project. Video card RX5600xt warms up to 65 degrees. I'm very satisfied with these scores. It all depends on what components you have and what numbers will be comfortable for your soul. The operation of the case does not cause any problems, all the details are quite well thought out and if there are any nuances, they are very minor and I can easily get used to them. I am very satisfied with the purchase.

I got the maximum pleasure from assembling a computer in this case. It had a case with 3,120 valves for intake and 1 for exhaust, while the front also had a solid grid, in this it installed 2,140 for intake, 1,140 for exhaust from above and 1,120 native on the rear panel for exhaust - the temperatures of the components fell by an average of 8-10 degrees. RX 5700 xt in stress has about 67-68 degrees (although the spot still outs around 78-80), in games the card chills 58-63. Ryzen 5 3600x 1.3v…

Pros
  • - Maximum compactness and functionality (It was very critical with the height of the case, but at the same time I wanted to fit the rx 5700 xt and 140 valves to reduce noise) - Strict and stylish design pleases the eye - Tinted tempered glass looks great - Intuitive cable management - Good soundproofing - Excellent breathability - Removable filters at the bottom, front and top without moving the housing - Native valves are quite efficient and silent
Cons
  • - Expensive, of course, but worth it in my opinion

It looks decent on the table, tinted glass is better than transparent. Table from IKEA size: width 105 cm, depth 50 cm, the body looks organic, used to be Midi from Fractal, looked bulky on a small table. Pros below: In general, the case is not bad, it looks beautiful on the table. When installing coolers in front, the metal bar bends a little, but not critical, the slots for connecting sata and connectors on the block panel are very close to the mother, in my case MSI B550 PRO-VDH. The…

Fits the description completely, very satisfying.

In my case, there are 2 pieces of Noctua NF P14s redux–1200 for blowing from above, for blowing on the bottom of Noctua NF–A15 + Be Quiet! SILENT WINGS 3 140MM front. On the processor - Noctua NH-U14S. All this is a miracle in the aggregate: - provides completely silent operation without load, up to 35 degrees on the processor, up to 40 on the video card; - almost silent (650 rpm for exhaust, 700 for pull-in) operation with a processor load of no more than 60 degrees (6600K at 4.5 GHz);…

Pros
  • 1. Everything is done and thought out very sensibly; wherever necessary - ties, holes, hooks. Everything can be laid very, very neatly and beautifully. 2. Very compact for a miniATX tower. The MSI 1080 fits right in. 3. You can change the CPU cooler without removing the mother from the backplate, there is a hole in the back. 4. Anti-dust mesh available in front, bottom and back. The lower one is removed from the front, the body does not need to be dragged and turned over to remove it. The top is magnetic. 5. Intake fans can be supplied 4 x 120 or 3 x 140. 6. Exhaust fans can be placed 2 x 140 at the top and 1 x 120 at the back. 7. 1 (one) diode that combines the indication of power and disk activity, barely noticeable. Located in front, behind the mesh. Blue. 8. Soft spacers are placed between the side glass and the body. Vertical - on the glass, horizontal - on the case. Through this, the glass is adjacent to the body without any gaps at all. 9. All fans allow some variability in the location in the seat, because they are fixed to the case not through holes, but through long slots. In other words, there is a maneuver of a few centimeters up and down (right-left).
Cons
  • 1. Super inconvenient location of the Reset button, top left. I pressed it every time I had to remove the front mesh. Turned it off. 2. Two, total two USB ports on the front. Just swine. Although both 3.0. 3. Very thin iron. It seems that the motherboard serves as one of the stiffeners. In the Define Mini (feels like), the pieces of iron were a third thicker. 4. Grids greatly interfere with air intake and exhaust. When removing the front mesh, it gets -4 degrees, when removing the top - another -3. But this does not mean that everything is bad with cooling. Just the opposite.

Not perfect quality, there is a small defect.

As a result, my system at 9700k and 2070 fit back to back. Installation of CBO is swept aside immediately. The whole body is "studded" with turntables. Yes, these are wonderful noise blockers, but nonetheless. Six fans create (or try to create in order to squeeze the volume of air in the resulting tightness) noise. Yes, it is much lower than it could be with cheap coolers, but it is there (nobody canceled the sound of the air flow, you can't deceive physics). Due to the "tight layout"…

Pros
  • In fact, the advantages of this case is not so much. 1. Good ventilation (with reservations) 2. Compactness 3. Cable management is no better or worse than models in this price segment. He is normal. Familiar, let's say, for a case in this price segment.
Cons
  • Perhaps my subjective judgments, but, no matter how strange it may sound, the case is painfully compact inside. Yes, it is designed only for mATX motherboards, but can't systems built on mATX be productive? If you assemble a bunch of components with an "above average" level in this case, it becomes crowded inside. No. VERY tight. And all of its (body) "perforation" already ceases to be such a clear advantage. Air cooling towers fit far from everything that is critical for productive, but very hot modern processors. Installing "nedovodyanki" also causes difficulties. Everything depends on the length of the video card. Those. it is no longer possible to choose "what you want", you need to constantly look at the dimensions. If you put the heatsink on the top grill, it may be difficult to be compatible with the "body kit" (radiators and other trims-decorations of power circuits) of the motherboard. In any case, "stick" something more or less productive will not work. ing "whatever, if only it fits" does not give much profit in comparison with those CPU air cooling towers that fit here. What prevented the Swedes from designing an extra 5 centimeters in length - I don’t know. It would not have affected the appearance much, but it would have added profit noticeably. I’m not talking about such “little things” as thin, no, the thinnest metal, the shortness of the front panel by connectors (only 2 usb ports in 2022, well, that’s all). This has been said by others in their reviews.

I recommend this case to anyone who wants a compact, stylish and well-ventilated system. The above disadvantages are more related to nit-picking. The top and back walls are easy to upgrade with fine static mesh, available cheaply at any hardware store. It is only necessary not to forget, a capacious case *for its size*. I don’t think it’s worth planning to install a custom dropsy and a fancy lighting system.

Pros
  • 1. Really high-quality assembled case 2. Looks solid, and at the same time not boring. Suitable for both gaming and office PC 3. The kit has everything you need to organize the space 4. For such sizes - very roomy
Cons
  • 1. Perhaps my expectations were too high, but the turntables in the kit are noisy - I replaced them with my own. 2. There are no filters on the back panel (at least not in mine) 3. The top mesh does not handle dust as effectively as the front - a filter layer with a finer mesh (as on the front panel) would not hurt

Normal product, but wanted more for the money.

Actually, the broken glass prompted me to write a review. When I assembled the system after the purchase, I naturally dealt with the glass carefully, but it looked solid and strong: it itself is quite thick, the fastening bolts are rubberized everywhere. But after a few months there was a problem with the iron, I had to climb inside the case and when removing the glass, it crumbled in my hands. It's pretty heavy and there's a good chance you'll drop it when you're filming - so I did it…

Pros
  • handsome Well made Add. space for fans / cooling system A lot of bolts, ties - all beautifully packaged
Cons
  • Narrow in width - when choosing a processor cooling, I selected the tower in height and was worried that it would not fit When removing the front panel (otherwise do not clean the front filter), there is a danger of tearing off the wires going to the button / light bulb / usb Glass lid - broke after 2 months when climbed inside (see comment)

Excellent cooling and usability

Great overall, easy to install. The only difficulty was that with a non-modular power supply, it can be difficult to find a place to connect unused cables.

Pros
  • Mesh front panel in the corners maximizes air intake
Cons
  • Some issues
