This review is from: Fractal Design Define XL R2 Black Silent EATX Full Tower Computer Case
Pros:
Overall this case is great. I also have an R4 by the same company and the high quality of both products impresses me.
I use it for my home server, and it is dead silent with stock CPU cooler and 4 total case fans going. It sits in the living room in the corner and is great.
Cons:
Rear fan clicks when case is on uneven ground. I have it on a carpeted floor which is not perfectly level. The case warps a little bit from the uneven weight distribution and causes the blades to hit the plastic mounding bracket.
I shoved a shim under the one side and its fine now.
Overall Review:
I imagine this case will last me for over a decade. In 5 years when I upgrade my media server I can see reusing this case. Its so big that it makes it seem future proof.
