Well ventilated, well constructed

This is a very beautiful case that adds a little something more than the mundane case. It's a little hard to find some wallpapers for it, and it did take me a minute to set up. But the more I get used to it, the better it gets. It's an aesthetic case that takes a bit more work than a normal to get value from it, but it's worth the effort if you're going to put the extra screen to good use

Comes with PWM controller fan hub Good weight, not a really cheap feel Addressable RGB either controlled by software or button on top. Good clearance between case feet, allowing acceptable airflow

Quality, design, size

I've built dozens if not hundreds of desktop and server systems over the years and have never tried Fractal Design. I am glad that I did. The case is very well built and the design is obviously well-engineered with forethought for custom system builds. Quality is top-notch.



Antec is a long-standing brand that is known for quality. In this build, they continue to deliver! I chose this particular case for the aesthetics, but that's not what impresses me most. It's the little things - having enough grommets to route all the cables, having built-in cable management velcro ties, and having thumb-twist screws (to name a few).

Pros: - Glass side panel. I received the glass, although some people received plexiglass for some reason. - Easy to remove and clean dust filters for the fans. - 8 slots for internal hard drives (depending on how large your graphic card is). - 2 ssd trays on the backside - 3 5.25 bays on the front for CD/DVD drives or other hardware. - Fan speed control switches (off, med, high). - Built-in Argb controller if your into that stuff. - 4 usb A (Two 2,0 & two 3.0) and one usb C - Comes with three fans with space for four more (three Argb up top, and one non-Argb on the bottom in front of the power supply, if you can fit one in after running all your cables).

-Aesthetics -room for cable management -fits larger gpus -lots of fan placements

Price Build quality Finish

After 9+ years and multiple motherboard builds with my gigantic Antec P280, it was time for a change and to downsize my case for my new build. The Define 7 Compact became my choice of case. I am finally forgoing optical drive built into the case. This case was super easy to wire the motherboard into. I loved that the top panel and case frame are able to be removed in order to get to the power connector and jumpers around the CPU are of the board. I had no issues hiding and wires and routing them on thwack side of the motherboard panel. I was also able to fit the Noctua NH-D15 CPU cooler but was only able to have one fan mounted to the heat sync due to clearance issues. This was no problem for me as the heat sync and single fan were plenty effective to cool my z490 Vision D and 10700k Processor. Additionally, I was able to also fit teethe Sapphire Radeon Nitro+ Rx 5700 Xt GPU card all using air cooling.

Super easy to take apart and access anything during the build.

- includes 4 rgb fans that are quiet - case fit and finish is perfect with no missing parts - modern style at a great price

Large enough to house any size GPUs Can fit a 360mm aio! Plenty of space and expansion

It works even with an old 15-year-old motherboard. It should work better with a modern motherboard, which doesn't have to deal with data cables of 2.5" SSD and two 3.5" SATA hard drives like mine. The ARGB fans work great, and I can change the color with the reset button.

Easy to work in Great airflow Very well built

*Versatile drive bays. *Accommodates liquid cooling. *Filter in front grille. *Cable routing feature.

Many fans more then most servers comes with.
