Fractal Design Define XL Titanium E-ATX Mid Tower Silent Computer Case 4X5.25 10X3.5INT No PS
Cons:
-Terrible slot for P4/motherboard power connector; most cords are not long enough to reach the top, and loop back to the motherboard.-Adding to the previous con: there is no provision for shorter cords in the zonal separation board. Dremeled a hole for the cable in the end. -Original fans are quiet, but low-cfm. Useless, and ended up replacing the front fan with 2x Noctua NF-P14FLX. -Top fan is essentially useless as a duct due to angled output.-Alignment issues. Had 2 PCI cards not fit into the slot properly; had to rebend the bracket.
Pros: +Roomy Case+10 3.5" slots+Quality Build+Solid side-panels and good acoustic dampening+Very quiet+Low price Comment:
Using case for fileserver. E8400 and P5Q-Pro with minimal graphics (HD2400), coupled to a PCP&P 750. Currently have 9 HDs in the slots. Use only if you can work around the aforementioned shortfalls. This case is still excellent value, provided you actually need the 10x 3.5" slots, due to an equivalent Lian-Li/Silverstone costing much, much more. |

Fractal Design Define XL Titanium E-ATX Mid Tower Silent Computer Case 4X5.25 10X3.5INT No PS
Cons:
hard to move around, should build in some handles. Hole for motherboard back plate hard to fit.
Pros: Looks great, very quiet, low temp, feet to keep case off floor Comment:
The computer is virtually silent, with my 6870, I5 and power supply. The cabinet temperature has not gone over 29 degrees C. What a great case and it looks fantastic. |

Fractal Design Define XL Titanium E-ATX Mid Tower Silent Computer Case 4X5.25 10X3.5INT No PS
Cons:
None as far as I'm concerned
Pros: Very quietExcellent cable managementStylish designGreat building qualityGood airflow/ventilation Comment:
I bought the Define XL for the regular price shortly after it was released on ncix and I have to say this is THE BEST case I have owned in my life. First of all I would like to point out that I'm a guy who rarely/never write reviews whether the product happened to be good/bad. Coincidentally this will be my first review on ncix because this case literally exceeded my expectation. I'll try to write a full review on the forums afterward with pictures. PS: A friend asked me if I could get him the same case and I did. |

Fractal Design Define XL Titanium E-ATX Mid Tower Silent Computer Case 4X5.25 10X3.5INT No PS
Cons:
This case does not have HDD activity LED, and does not have a in-case speaker which is very useful for troubleshooting if there is something going wrong at booting.
Pros: Heavy and high building qualityVery quietGreat ventilationGood Heat management Comment:
I bought this case during promotion (bundle deal with a Seasonic 530w power supply).Overall, Fractal Design Define XL is a good case, but a little over priced, comparing with the 600T (I took a peak at other computer retail store) which will cost CND$139.99 at NCIX. The focus Fractal Design Define XL is to housing a quiet PC which is very well done by the way. However, it is missing some very important old features in my point of view.I did research before I decided to buy this case. In those reviews (including Linus), none of then have pointed out that this case does not have HDD activity indicator and also missing the in-case speaker. |
Cable management is awesome , Drive bays also , HDD bays too , Everything installed flawlessly but my 1000w PSU , I had to pass the 24 pin cable somewhere else , But it just worked wonderfullyI expecting for more airflow though , but the case is pretty silent. The side are isolated and all.A side window would have been awesome too. But i careless.
