Fractal Design, new case/s 03/06/2020

Relentless81 · 27 May 2020 at 18:05

Hello,

Looks like fractal are unveiling some new cases next week, anyone know what they are?

They look like define's in the Instagram post but it's hard to tell, I'm hoping for an updated Nano with Tempered Glass and PSU shroud, instabuy if it comes in white.

It looks like an updated Meshify C potentially which would be tempting.

I dunno on the Instagram pic it looked like it had a flat front but could be wrong. I currently have a meshify C and I'd be interested in a white mini revised version

Typical, just replaced mine with a Meshify C!

I imagine it will be slightly longer though, think the Meshify C could do with another few cm graphics clearance. I imagine they'll want to address that in whatever replaces it.

Been using mine for over a year and it's been awesome so don't worry it's a great case, I just get bored and fancy a change plus I love fractal cases

Agreed, it replaced an NZXT S340. and whilst that was a greaty case the Meshify C is jsut a pleasure to build in.

@Phate

Was it you that I had a conversation with about a revised Nano recently in your build thread?

Heads up if so.

I will be a Define 7 Compact, although I was hoping for a Meshify 7

Yes, that is what i gather the case will be, i too was hoping for a new Meshify C.

Jay794 · 28 May 2020 at 15:26

I managed to find the model number, already listed on Amazon too, put FD-C-DEF7C-01 into google and it throws up a bunch of results about the Define 7 Compact

Jeff B · 28 May 2020 at 15:42

Yep, there are some photos allegedly of it on the net.

Relentless81 · 28 May 2020 at 20:40

Oh, well that's disappointing

Jeff B · 29 May 2020 at 13:20

It is a bit, i was hoping for a refined Meshify C mini. But will check it out never less.

Relentless81 · 3 Jun 2020 at 11:39

Today is the day, nothing on their Instagram account yet.

I'm set to be disappointed with the above info but you never know

Confimed Define 7 Compact

Yup just seen it pop up on Instagram, need to have a look at the dimensions and see if its any smaller than my Meshify C and then if it comes in white I'll be tempted but will probably hold out for a Nano. I think I'll be waiting forever because I think they are going to do another Node soon

Jeff B · 3 Jun 2020 at 17:09

I had a quick look, and it is a couple of mm's smaller than the Meshify C , also unfortunately it only comes in black , asked on twitter no white.

The wait goes on..

There's the show reel

Hardware Canucks put a review up earlier, definitely not for me

Like Jeff B says, the wait for the perfect upgrade continues, a white Nano would be an instant purchase for me but there is no indication it will ever exist and Lian Li TU150 grows ever more tempting

I bought the compact from OcUK on Friday and built it yesterday. Really quite pleased with it, I was upgrading from an old define r5. The only annoying thing is the cable management from the PSU as mentioned by Hardware Canucks. If you don’t get it right the side panel will pop off. I just removed the 3.5 drive cage from the bottom and that made cable routing much easier.
