As we say in our video, this case will likely feature when we look at some liquid cooling hardware and that will give us a better understanding of its capabilities.

In other words, the measured noise levels in dB will not reflect the actual human perception of the loudness of the noise. The Define 7 XL can hold multiple water cooling setups fairly easily as the Define 7 XL can hold thick and very big radiators. This is where the modularity of the housing begins, because the door can be installed so that it opens to the left or to the right.The Define 7 and the Define 7 XL are available worldwide now, and will soon be complemented with a unique range of accessories to help customize your building experience. We offer a complete circular IT solution so as well as supplying the latest technology we also recycle unwanted tech, simplifying IT lifecycle management and helping to minimise the impact the technology industry is having on our environment with our fully accredited recycling facility.

The keyboard and mouse section (when selected), is positioned securely in a compartment underneath the computer. We'll have a peek at the Fractal Design Define 7 XL, an all-black, all cool and all silent PC housing for a wide variety of motherboards. The closed outer panels are always provided with bitumen noise insulation, which effectively reduces the volume.We measure at ~40 cm distance, we hotwire only the passive PSU, this way other components cannot influence acoustic levels.

The colours provided show a representation of the colour options available and may differ slightly in person. In addition to obstructing cooling, drive trays on the Fractal Design 7 (should be the same as R6) are somewhat fiddly to put in place in "storage mode", and the exercise involves a lot of screws. It has been a long time since Fractal release an XL series case, with their Define XL R2 being the company’s last entry into this niche market. Brushed aluminum encases a refined front door design with dual-handed reversible hinges and magnetic latching.These are connected to the integrated Nexus + 2 fan hub, to which a total of nine fans can be connected. We give a brief run down of the larger Define 7 XL in our video, although the main focus of our review is the mid-tower Define 7.

That is pretty much our only criticism of the Define 7 and we come to the end of this review with a satisfied feeling and a big smile on our collective face. From reading previous threads, it sounds like the Fractal Design Define 7 might be my best bet, as various people have said it's quiet, and it accommodates lots of drives. The extra elbow room isn’t the only feature that makes for a smoother building experience – the top panel can be fully removed for completely unhindered interior access, and is interchangeable from sound damped solid steel to filtered ventilation using the included accessory panel. We ship all products in unopened boxes directly as received from our manufacturer in brand new and in perfect condition. Read more about the condition New: A brand-new, unused, unopened and undamaged item in original retail packaging (where packaging is applicable).Solid construction with industrial high-density sound damping helps maintain whisper silent operation. You won't run into tough decisions unless you ramp up the number of storage drives and also choose a cooling system with multiple radiators, however we are confident you will be able to figure out a solution.
