Looks bare without elaborate liquid cooling
Overkill for builds that don't use watercooling or lots of storage
Slightly buzzy fan motors
Define S2 is showing its age and could use an overhaul
The front panel is tethered by cables for the I/O unit
The Meshify front panel makes little difference to air flow
The price is rather high

Reviewing a flawed product is relatively easy as the reviewer can point out problems, suggest fixes and generally get excited about the perceived foolishness of the designers and developers who have been involved.By contrast a product such as the Fractal...

Fractal Design has created a number of models that use the same core chassis and while the Define R6, Define S2 and now the Meshify S2 are all perfectly decent, they fail to get the blood rushing. The snag for Fractal Design is that the world has made pro...

The Meshify S2 gives Fractal another very strong entry in the upper mid range case market. The case has great build quality, modern features like USB 3.1 Gen 2 and latched side panels, and the flexibility to incorporate all manner of high-end hardware and...

As much as we appreciate what the award-winning Define S2 has to offer, Fractal Design realises that there are plenty of users who take a disliking to solid front panels that hinder airflow.Solving that conundrum has proven to be straightforward - tak...
Copious amounts of cooling support, Clean minimalist design, Excellent fit and finish, Actually provides airflow, Well placed Cost
Difficult to access lower compartment, Short on Zip ties, Over tightened thumbscrews
Fractal Design has done something with the Meshify S2 that is surprisingly needed in the modern case market; they've made a case that is quite functional. Tempered glass has such a dominant grip on the market that it has driven many chassis engineers to t...

The S2 was a fine case, and our main complaint with it was that it was the same thing as a product that Fractal was already selling. The previous conclusion was more or less that buyers should choose whichever was cheaper, either the R6 or the S2, but tha...
Excellent construction quality, Great attention to detail, Excellent mix of materials, Glass side panel construction is one of the best I have seen, Clear glass panel is pretty sweet, Can take up to 420 mm radiator in the ceiling and 360 mm in the front,
Heavy for a case of this size (a side effect of the excellent material mix), Fan controller not included anymore, 2.5" drive bay placement on shroud not ideal, Power LED not very bright
The Fractal Design Meshify S2 has an MSRP of US$150 excl. taxes. Excellent construction quality Great attention to detail Excellent mix of materials Glass side panel construction is one of the best I have seen Clear glass panel is pretty sweet Can take up...
