Fractal Design Meshify S2

drakulton · 24 Jan 2019 at 20:04

I've just seen some of the reviews for the new Meshify S2 that should be available in the UK at the end of the week. What a dream case. Clean lines and space for three 140mm fans in the front. This thing is a wind tunnel for those that like to keep components cool. This is going to be my next case.

Interesting to hear, I'm getting a new build in the next couple of weeks and love Fractal Cases, if I could get a Define C Mini or Nano S in white I would buy one but the only available case in white is the Meshify thats not huge like some of the others. Just that mesh puts me off to the point where I've been looking at the NZXT H400 which I like the look of but not sure about the restrictive front intake

If I liked the case that much, but didn't like the angled mesh, I'd probably take the mesh off the angled plastic frame. Cut the angled webs from the inside of the frame, and fit a flat piece of mesh to the now flat rectangular frame. And there's your perfect case.

Id've thought that OcUK would've been all over the this at the launch of this case, but there's not even a mention of it in the store.

Yeah its everywhere else but no sniff of it here.

C'mon guys, this is a veritable wind tunnel, you can test small aircraft in it. Get it in the store!

We are not listing the product at this time because of a disagreement with Fractal over their pricing strategy for this model. Frankly the P600S from Phanteks would be a better choice anyway.

So how much do you think S2 should go for?

Hmmm..... Leo ain't too impressed.

Thats my plan too, I'm ordering a white Meshify C the week after next for my new build. I'm still not keen on the creased mesh but its Fractal with good air flow and you can get it in white so ticks more boxes than it doesn't

According to the KitGuruTech video the Define R6 is only two degrees warmer than the MS2. I'd have thought it would be more than that.

If that's in stock configs the meshify need two front intakes, preferably 2 X 140 according to gamers nexus which is what I'll be doing anyway

The R6 is too big for my needs but it's nice case

It always seems a bit odd to me that if a case has say three front slots for fans, and if one of the slots isn't utilised, then then any fans that are fitted can pull warm air from the case, forward through the unoccupied fan slot effectively recycling the air, rather than pulling it in from the outside the case

Depends on the case, with a lot of cases you just need more intake than exhaust and it should be fine, more so with open front cases.

Closed front cases that don't have large cut outs like the NZXT H500 you night as well just stick with negative pressure exhaust only setups

Mileage will vary case to case and fans used but I think 2 X 140 mm intakes and 1 X 120 mm exhaust should work well in the meshify

Possibly just my fan OCD, but if a case has slots for three 140mm fans, then I'd be inclined to occupy them with noctua brown-ness. And to aid the wind tunnel effect I'd remove the PSU shroud also.

Could someone who owns a Meshify C measure the internal height from the case floor to ceiling, without the PSU shroud fitted? Just interested as there's plenty of sources on the total height of the case but not the internal height dimension.
