The Define C features a simple and neat design, and is made of black metal and plastic of excellent quality. The front part is without any openings or slots, so you will not be able to install any 5.25" drives, card readers or fan controllers. What you will find is the I/O panel with two USB 3.0, power and reset button as well as the standard audio jacks. On both sides of the front panel there are small openings, which allow the front fans to pull in fresh air. The side panels, even if they look quite simple, are actually the most important piece, since noise dampening material has been added for additional soundproofing. Once again Fractal Design is doing a great job here, since the noise dampening is pretty effective.
The back panel is as simple as it gets, while there are seven PCI expansion slots, the opening for the motherboard I/O panel, a 120mm fan slot and the opening for the standard ATX power supply. The bottom of the case has been equipped with four plastic feet with an aluminum finish. There is also an air-inlet for the PSU to breathe if the fan is facing downwards. |
