Fractal Design Meshify C – Compact Computer Case – High Performance Airflow/Cooling – 2X Fans Included – PSU Shroud – Modular Interior – Water-Cooling Ready – USB3.0 – Tempered Glass Light – Blackout

Good Looking, Compact, and Effecient Micro ATX Case
Review of the MicroATX Dark Tint TG version of the Meshify C.Going towards my second build, I upgraded from an old, budget, acrylic side panel ATX case so it was daunting to build in a smaller case but extremely exciting to get the quality upgrade of tempered glass and Fractal Design’s amazing case features.Parts/Cable Management: In my opinion, the Meshify C Mini’s compact form factor and ability to hold and manage feature packed parts in a clean and organized way is what blew me away. I managed to mount my Corsair H100i CPU cooler radiator on the front of the case for optimal CPU cooling, comfortably fitting my GTX 1080 (10.5 inches) on my mATX motherboard, all while keeping cables clean and not impeding airflow. The SSD bracket behind the motherboard keeps them completed hidden and easy to get cables to. Then the full length power supply shroud and the removable hard drive cage allow for a ton of room to manage cables in the back all while staying hidden from the tempered glass viewing window.Looks/Build Quality: The tinted tempered glass is the highlight in my opinion. It provides a clean stealthy look from the sidewhen off, while providing a dimmer but beautifully clean RBG shine when powered on. The overall build is strong with solid, grippy feet. The mesh on the front, bottom, and top are an awesome feature for dust management.Airflow: No complaints on airflow. My CPU cooler’s radiator is monted on the front with two 120mm intake fans and three 120mm exhaust fans on the top and back. All tempts are solid with my GTX 1080 at 100% usage not flinching on long play times. The front mounted radiator allows my CPU to also get great tempts as fresh air first moved through there.Noise: This is probably the only category this case does not excel in. As one can imagine with the many perforations and mesh for airflow and dust management, there will be noise output when the system fans are cranked. But a nice pair of headphones removes this worry completely.Conclusion: A 10/10 mATX case. But with all cases, do your research in regards to what parts (length/size) will comfortably fit.

Price-to-Performance is Great
Good Things:-Great airflow and filters where they need to be (three total). The manual doesn’t say it but you CAN fit one 140mm and two 120mm in the front intake. (Vs. three 120s or two 140s). I put a black 140 mm Noctua fan above the two included fans and it’s a great all-black look. This might not work for you if you want RGB fans in the front and want them all to match.-White color is very sharp.-I’m 98% satisfied with the build quality. Everything is where it needs to be and the included hardware is great. There is one tiny spot where the sheet metal is bent but it is one little corner behind the plastic white front piece and isn’t visible. I could probably bend it back but it’s near a rivet and might loosen the piece.-Cable management is great, plenty of room behind the motherboard for anything you want to do.-Room for almost everything. I haven’t completed my build yet so I can’t post pictures but the case, although on the smaller size, DOES FIT an EVGA 2080 FTW3. This is not a small card by any means. Additionally, you can put three fans on the front AND fit two 3.5″ drives in the bottom compartment as long as your PSU isn’t massive.”Meh”s:-The very front of the case around the large black intake is plastic (one big white piece, where the buttons are). I understand that getting this piece in metal would bump up the price significantly but I’m just noting it.-That bent metal piece. But this literally affects nothing.I’m going to update this if there are any problems throughout the case’s lifespan.UPDATE: From May to December, everything is great. No regearts on the purchase.

A really very very good case to work with. And really satisfying results afterwards. It seems a bit expensive for what others have to offer in the same price, but fractal more than makes up for everything with the quality of materials. The design choices that make it so easy to work with. Then the cable management is well though of. Every piece of the case is modular. And can be adjusted to the way you want. And design elements are subtle. Yet really look good when put together. One of the best experience so far working with a case. And the airflow is pretty good too. I am running 3X120mm fans in front for intake. And 1x120mm for exhaust at the back. And 2 up top. My cpu GPU and vrms all stay cool under long heavy load sessions as well.

This thing is amazing. Cable management easy as pie/intuitive. Fan options best in class. Fit finish for 100$ case sublime. Looks are killer. Happy I got the white one.Important about the whole only 2 spaces for hard drives. Thats not exactly accurate – there are 2 main slots for Traditional 3.5 HDs (or you can just add 2ssd or well once of each like i do). But here is the thing.. on the outisde panel where you mange the cables there is a plate that is specifically build so 2 additional Ssd hds that can be put there. So the true total is 4 drives secured to the case (2hds/2ssd, 1/3 or 4ssds whatever). I almost cancelled my order and was going to get the devo? Or whatever is the pricier big brother of the meshify because isnt feel like have loose floaty ssds in the main case compartment (would look terrible) but was happy to see didnt need too.Maybe I totally missed in in the decriptiom of the prduct but I dont thinks its ever properlly explained anywhere or made obvious and find pretty stupid. Anyways 5/5 would buy again (side note: max video card 12” any longer and wont fit in the case with fans at the front. If tou remove the front bottom fan then maybe 12.5”/13” for the videocard space until you hit the front on the case) I just got the rx 590 sapphire nitro its 10” its blue and it looks fits/great.
