Ich habe endlich die Zeit gefunden mich diesem Gehäuse zu widmen. Mittlerweile habe ich das Unboxing hinter mir und die meisten Bilder sind auch schon im Kasten. Im Verlaufe des Nachmittags werde ich hoffentlich noch dazu kommen die Bilder nach zu bearbeiten und in die Galerie zu laden. Im Anschluss daran gibt es dann die Picture Madness News. In der Zwischenzeit aber möchte ich euch hier auf dem Laufen den halten.

Bislang gefällt mir dieses Gehäuse recht gut. Auffallend ist beispielsweise das hohe Gewicht der Seitenwände, aufgrund des Schalldämmmaterials, das verwendet wurde. Hinzu kommt, dass dieses Case ordentlich Platz bietet und auch das äussere Erscheinungsbild gefällt mir.

I finally found time to start with the review on this case. So far I've been unboxing it and I've taken some pictures. Later today I will upload the pics and we'll publish the picture madness news, and I will also keep you guys updated here in the forums.

So far I like this case. It turns out that the side panels are super heavy, because of the noise dampening material Fractal Design has been using. Futhermore this case offers pelnty of space of course and the overall appearance is also very decent.

Ho finalmente trovato il tempo di iniziare la recensione su questo case. Per adesso sono alla fase di unboxing e ho scattato qualche immagine. Più tardi caricherò le foto nella galleria e inizierò con la recensione.

Non sembra affatto male, i pannelli laterali son super pesanti e robusti. Ottimi i pannelli fono assorbenti e la qualità complessiva è su alti livelli. Bel design e tanto spazio a disposizione.

Do you think that could be necessary a CPU power extension cable?
Case looks really big

In my case it wasn't a problem. I was using a 600Watt Seasonic PSU in this case.

How many fans are included?

I really like cases like that, similiar to LianLi but cheaper. I know that materials are differents but seems well finished and with a elegant design, that never tires.

When will be ready the review? Iam looking for a replacement of my HAFx..something of elegant i7 930 + GA-X58A-UD7 + 3x2GB Geil 1600C8 + MSI GTX670 + AX850 + HAFx

I'm looking forward to finish the review by the beginning of next week. I would have to count the fans. But I think there are three.
Imo Fractal Design manages to make nice cases at a reasonable price point that attract quite a broad audience.

To be honest, I didn't really like the HAF cases ... The design, the dust issues, ... it just wasn't a case for me.

Nice, I will wait then!
I have HAFx because I wanted a full tower and was in special offer, but now after years I don't like it anymore. Too dusty and uncool with all LEDs i7 930 + GA-X58A-UD7 + 3x2GB Geil 1600C8 + MSI GTX670 + AX850 + HAFx

Basically I don't think it's a bad case, the HAFx, especially if you got it for a lower price. But yeah, the design just isn't timeless and it would definitely make me want something else quite quickly

Fractal Design Define R2 XL Review

Review online!

Really nice review-
I want build a super silent rig and watercooled it.

According to the review, there is enough space for a radiator on the top and that is very useful.
Also about design and style, black & white! Tubing, sleeve (nzxt or bitfenix alchemy) and fans white (silverstone? fractal? arctic?).
