You need to take time with your cabling
Slim-line optical drive can only be used when using a mATX motherboard
No reset button
Hard-drive cages limit the overall length of a GPU to 280 mm - more would have been possible
Maximum length advertised for PSUs is overly optimistic
Like many of you I've been a pretty big fan of Fractal Design's cases up to this point. Some of their designs underperformed a little, but the Define series have continued to be solid options for users looking to build a silent, decently-performing system...
