Fractal Design announce the Define XL R2 case

Fractal Design builds on the success of its awarding-winning Define XL computer case with the Define XL R2. This updated chassis carries on the family tradition of providing superb cooling and ventilation capabilities with exceptional expandability, in a sleek and stylish Scandinavian form.

The Define XL R2, which includes Fractal Design’s innovative ModuVent™ feature, has an updated internal layout that offers greater expandability, modularity and flexibility, including capacity for 9 PCI cards and two HDD cages that can be repositioned to provide more space for water cooling radiators.

Key Features

• High density noise-reducing material for an optimal silent case – To achieve a high level of noise reduction, material with mass should be incorporated which is what we strive to achieve with the dense bitumen used on the side panels.
• Patented ModuVent™ design allowing the user to choose between optimal silence or maximum airflow.
• With a new internal layout and additional PCI expansion slots, it can harbor the most powerful enthusiast systems.
• Both HDD cages can be removed or repositioned – Top HDD cage can be removed or repositioned for increased airflow whereas bottom HDD cage can be repositioned further into the case to allow for front radiator mount.
• The case can fit water cooling equipment in the front, top, rear and bottom without major modifications.
• Three-speed fan controller is strategically integrated in the front panel and supports up to 3 fans
• Three Silent Series R2 fans are included, featuring hydraulic bearings which  contribute to a longer life expectancy – Silent Series R2 retail fans now come standard in all cases
• New tool-less front fan holder makes switching front fans a breeze
