  • Fractal Design's Define XL R2 is indeed extra large. It fits a full eATX motherboard based system and a dual radiator water loop, complete with a tube-style reservoir. Not too many cases are large enough or well planned enough to make that kind of claim...

  • The Define XL is Fractal Design's flagship case.  It embodies all the innovative features Fractal Design could imagine in a case.  As with the original XL, this case is simply big, yet very quiet.  It dissipates heat quickly.  It has tons of HD capacity a...

  • While the minimalistic and plain design may throw some buyers off, others may embrace that design with passion. For me, I think while the design and performance is incredible, there needs to be a bit more flair added to the case, especially the inclusion...

  • My title for this review stems from the feeling that I've finally tested an enthusiast-class quiet case that is capable of producing excellent acoustics and performance competitive with cases that don't share its acoustic allowances. The Fractal Design De...

  • The installation process is extremely straightforward with the Fractal Design Define XL R2. For the most part, it is very easy to work with as far as a standard mid-tower is concerned. Out of preference, I installed my Intel Desktop Board DZ77GA-70K mothe...

  • Abstract:  Many cases claim to offer a combination of style, substance, size and price but Fractal Design’s new Define XL R2 is one of the few to actually deliver on its promises. It uses a full tower form factor that offers plenty of interior space and advanced...
