Abstract: Hace algunos días le dedicamos a la Define R5 un análisis completo. La Fractal Design Define S es una edición sencilla de este modelo, también es algo más económica, y está diseñada para los que buscan un espacio completamente limpio pero que no deje de l...
Pour un boitier se trouvant au prix d'environ 90€ je pense que la concurrence peut avoir peur, en effet, il a tout d'un grand ! En effet, il regroupe une ventilation complète, un câble management parfait, un design sobre, un boitier modulaire et pour cou...
