The editors didn't like
No solid side panel option
Must plan to lose some time playing with all the cable routing options (not really a Con )
4pin Power for Fan Controller
Reset Switch Hard to Press
Noticeable noise at 12V fan setting
Heavy case when full system installed
Plastic roof and front panels
Bottom air filter hard to access
Not much cheaper than the Arc Midi R2
20 mm of space alright - but could be more
No external 3.5" bay
Installing HDDs requires tools
No color choices yet
Microscopic reset button
Hard drive installation not completely tool-less
External drive installation not completely tool-less
Plastic front panel takes away from the feel of quality of the rest of the chassis

DISEÑO, EXCELENTE CAPACIDAD DE REFRIGERACIÓN Y VENTILADORES INCLUIDOS, COMPATIBLE CON TODAS LAS TARJETAS GRÁFICAS Y PSU DE ALTO RENDIMIENTO, DOS CABINAS DE DISCOS DUROS, REHOBUS, PRECIO INMEJORABLE.
Hormis une légère gène lors du montage due à un espace un peu trop restreint au dos de la carte-mère, et une baie 5,25″ qui aurait mérité d'être tool-less, il n'y a rien à reprocher à cet Arc mini R2...
Abstract: Verticalement, d'abord, le PS07 de Silverstone puis l'Arc Mini R2 de Fractal Design (il en sera de même tout au long de ce comparatif, pour des raisons évidentes de clarté).En effet, ils sont emblématiques d'une redécouverte du format micro-ATX, autant pa...
Fractal Design präsentiert mit dem ARC Mini R2 ein angenehm schlicht und gleichzeitig edel gestaltetes Gehäuse im Micro-ATX-Format, das neben seiner gelungenen optischen Gestaltung und hervorragenden Verarbeitung auch durch seine inneren Werte mehr als zu...
Die Neuauflage des bereits sehr erfolgreichen Arc Mini konnte uns im Test vollends überzeugen. Die Skandinavier haben in einigen Punkten erfolgreich angesetzt und ausgebessert, womit der durchaus kompakte Mini-Tower auch für den Einsatz als Wakü-Case g...
