Fractal Design Define XL R2 Black Silent EATX Full Tower Computer Case

The Define XL R2 is in a sleek and stylish Scandinavian form, capable of providing superb cooling and ventilation capabilities with exceptional expandability. Equipped with Fractal Design’s innovative ModuVent feature, this chassis has an updated internal layout that offers greater expandability, modularity and flexibility, including capacity for 9 PCI cards and two HDD cages that can be repositioned to provide more space for water cooling radiators.

Generous Interior Space for Your PC Components

With roomy interior space, the full-tower computer case gives you great flexibility to build your system. It can accommodate:

• Graphics cards up to 330mm in length with the top HDD cage installed or up to 480mm in length when the top cage is removed
• CPU coolers up to 170 mm tall when no fan is installed ion the side panel
• ATX PSUs up to 190 mm deep when using the bottom fan location; when not using this fan location, longer PSUs (up to 345 mm deep) can be used

Great Expandability

The case provides multiple drive bays to install your HDDs/SSDs and features a total of nine expansion slots, offering the perfect level of expandability you desire.

• Two HDD cages provide up to eight 3.5” HDD trays which are also all compatible with SSDs.
• Four external 5.25" drive bays
• Up to nine expansion slots provide flexibility for multiple graphics cards solutions.

Both HDD cages can be removed or repositioned. Top HDD cage can be removed or repositioned for increased airflow whereas bottom HDD cage can be repositioned further into the case to allow for front radiator mount.

Cooling System

Maximum Airflow Performance

With the ability to support up to seven fans (three fans included), the case can produce voluminous airflow to cool down even the most extreme system.

The Layout of Fans:

• Front: two 120/140mm fans (included is a hydraulic bearing 140mm Silent Series R2 fan, 1000 RPM speed)
• Rear: one 120/140mm fan (included is a hydraulic bearing 140mm Silent Series R2 fan, 1000 RPM speed)
• Top: two 120/140mm fans (not included); positions also support 240/280mm slim radiators
• Bottom: one 120/140mm fan (included is a hydraulic bearing 140mm Silent Series R2 fan, 1000 RPM speed)
• Side: one 120/140mm fan (not included)

Fan controller:

Three-speed fan controller is strategically integrated in the front panel and supports up to three fans, letting you manually adjust the fans’ speeds.

Long lifespan:

The preinstalled three Silent Series R2 140mm fans feature hydraulic bearings which contribute to a longer life expectancy.

Water Cooling Compatibility

With the ability to support up to seven fans (three fans included), the case can produce voluminous airflow to cool down even the most extreme system.

• Front: 240mm radiator when HDD cages are removed or repositioned
• Top: 240 and 280mm slim radiators
• Bottom: 120mm radiators
• Rear: 120 and 140mm radiators

Thoughtful Designs

• The case is constructed of high-density noise-reducing material, making an optimal silent case.
• Exclusive ModuVent design allows you to choose between optimal silence and maximum airflow. If cooling becomes more of a priority than noise reduction, the ModuVent plates (three ModuVent plates - two in the top and one in the side) can be removed to expose additional air vents for optional fans.
• New tool-less front fan holder makes switching front fans a breeze.
• You can route the cables through the thick rubber grommets and keep them tucked away in the 26 mm routing space behind the motherboard plate.
• The I/O ports are conveniently placed on the front edge of the top panel, providing you with added convenience. The I/O panel includes - two USB 3.0 ports, two USB 2.0 ports, audio in/out jacks, power button with LED (blue), reset button, and fan controller (behind the door)
