The Define 7 XL sets a new standard for what you should expect from a full tower case in terms of modularity, flexibility and ease of use. With its dual-layout interior, industrial sound damping and massively versatile layout supporting the largest E-ATX and enterprise boards, multi-GPU setups, outlandish water loops, and almost two dozen storage devices (in Storage layout), you’ll be hard pressed to find a limit to what you can do with your build in the Define 7 XL.
EXTRA SPACIOUS
An expansive internal layout easily accommodates large motherboards up to E-ATX and SSI-EEB.
SUPERLATIVE STORAGE
Install up to 18 HDDs alongside 5 SSDs mounts in the default Storage Layout.

FLEXIBLE DUAL-LAYOUT DESIGN

Pros: Build quality is off the chain Modularity to meet any situation Can fit any setup Designed with an intense focus on custom water loops Looks really clean Tons of accessories
Cons: I saw a review from someone else mentioning this... I shrugged it off but they were spot on. Whoever manufactuered this case for Fractal over-torqued all of the screws on this case. If you use a power drill on a really low torque setting and slowly increase it one step at a time you can get them out without stripping them. A lot of people won't know to do that. The drive cages were the worst. Over tightened so much that the metal was from the drive cages became one with the case and I had to pry them apart. Insane that such a well designed and crafter case would have such a stupid oversight that has the potential to ruin it completely.
Overall Review: I would recommend this to advances builders only due to the over torqued screws. If Fractal works with their manufacturing company to fix the over torqued screws this case would be prefect. Also, if you aren't trying to load this thing up with the max amount of radiators and a distro block it will look empty
