The editors didn't like
Nothing of note
No RGB lighting
Fan hub is a mix of 3pin and 4pin
We want the three 140mm fans to be upgraded to PWM
The ultra-quiet nature and subsequent low airflow will certainly put pressure on modest air coolers, as our test system showed. At 7V our fan and CPU cooler lean heavily on the case for cooling and as we've seen with a few similar examples recently, the a...

It was clear throughout 2019 that Fractal Design needed to update the Define R6 and S2 and wallop, here we are at the start of 2020 with the Define 7 and its larger sibling the Define 7 XL. We can see that some people want a huge case for a workstation/to...

It's a little expensive, but as I said, you're paying a premium for the tremendous build quality and Fractal Design has packed in a lot of cool features too. Plus, if you need to tweak the features, you can get additional HDD trays, SSD trays, a HDD cage...

Fractal Design describes the Define 7 as its "most comprehensive iteration" of the Define Series to date. That may well be true, however what impresses us most is that despite a thorough modernisation, the essence of the product line has been kept intact...

When it comes to Fractal's Define 7, it is easy to see how many ways that this case could have gone wrong. The case's copious number of HDD mounts could have come at the cost of other features. The Define 7's flat front panel could have minimised airflow...
We criticized the Fractal Define S2 in the past for being basically the same case as the Define R6. The Define 7 is also very similar to the R6, but that makes much more sense for a successor, and the 7 also has some meaningful quality-of-life improvement...
Wide Chassis Design, Options for Improved Cooling, Acoustic Panels, Many Radiator Options, Tempered Glass Side Panel, Seamless Panel Fitment, Color Combos Available, PWM Fan Controller, Clean Design
Bottom filter wants you to drop the box, Front door, Vertical GPU brackets not included, The case is a square,
In my case reviews I like to look at a particular chassis from the view of a casemodder as it gives me a different perspective to the case beyond if stuff will fit. Of course, this was easier to do when cases actually required modification and these days...
