Fractal Designs has a short history compared to that of many of the older more established companies on the market, but with case designs like the Midi R2 their future is bright. The Midi R2 is a well built, perfectly designed case, and it does everything...

Abstract: In the era of mobile device expansion and the general portability of everything, it's a bit odd to invest in development of desktop chassis, not to mention investing in a redesign of a solid model, such as ARC MIDI. On the other hand, there will always be...

A new version of something suggests that things wrong with the old one were fixed, and that other improvements have been made. Fractal Design keeps this promise with its Arc Midi R2. The exterior looks better, in our opinion, with the tinted side window. ...
Swedish Fractal Design has nicely improved the predecessor of this case, the ARC Midi. Besides some cosmetic changes the presence of the 3-step Fan controller and the large smoked window will draw a lot of attention. The overall design remains pretty ...

I had about as much pleasure building around this case compared to those that sells for $149, plenty enough for a case that cost half of other similar cases. Fractal Design did everything you can think so to many, the Arc Midi R2 one of the best cases on ...
