Fractal Design today announced the eagerly awaited Meshify 2. Not only does the Meshify 2 range stay true to its legacy in terms of uncompromising design - it also comes with welcome additions like a movable wall for enhanced flexibility, a fully removable top panel and a front nylon filter that can be removed for increased airflow. Alongside the mid-tower model, the XL version is also launching today; accommodating motherboards all the way up to and including SSI-EEB, holding several radiators and up to 23 storage devices without issue.

Like black diamond facets, the angular asymmetry of the Meshify line has carved a space uniquely its own. And with a sturdy construction that is both stealthy and smooth, the Meshify 2 Series is sure to impress with its unique mix of style and substance. It is a textbook example of what you should expect from a modern case when it comes to modularity, flexibility and ease of use.





Features

  • Spacious and extensively adaptable dual-layout interior
  • New chassis design that opens up to fully expose the case interior on three sides for totally unhindered installation and cable routing
  • New front nylon filter that can be removed for increased airflow
  • New front panel design with hinged removable mesh filter and tether-free bezel for easier access to front fan mounts
  • Three front USB ports including one USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C with fast charging support and speeds up to 10 Gbps
  • Ultra-slim Nexus+ 2 fan hub connects up to three PWM fans and six 3-pin fans directly in line with cable channels along the edge of the case
  • Outstanding cooling capacity with a total of nine 120/140 mm fan mounts and three preinstalled Dynamic X2 GP-14 fans
  • Easy-to-clean high airflow nylon filters on the top and base with full PSU coverage and convenient front access
  • Detachable PSU cable shield and integrated cable guides with Velcro straps further simplify cable management behind the board

Abit on the expensive side, although it comes with 3x fans and quality should be good its still in the weird spot of above the price/performance+build quality gold spot of 75-100 but below the high end, not sure to which audience this is targeted tbh.
Because if i was building a PC now with all these good cases i would pick something below 100 unless i am spending over 3k which i will pick something 'more' than this.

I thought Meshify was the budget Define?

Where's the budget at? Holy crap that's overpriced

And after all these decades we're still just talking about a metal cage with some panels...

Wow that's some price bump from the first one!

I'm using the dark tint Meshify C, which I got for $80. Great case though, lots of airflow and keeps my 9900K & 2080 combo nice and cool.

You guys are getting your cases confused. Meshify C is a budget version of the Meshify series. Fractal always had a higher end as well. This is replacing the Meshify S2 i am pretty sure which has always been a pricier case.

Not to split hairs, but if I remember correctly, the C stands for compact: the Define C was a smaller version of the Define R6, and the Meshify C was just the Define C with the mesh front. The S I believe stood for silence: the Define S had foam/sound-dampening material, and the Define S2 was an updated version of the Define S - the Meshify S2 was an airflow-oriented variant of the Define S2.

So for a fan hub and 2 extra fans they bumped up the price to 139 USD$ now add the regional price hikes and suddenly it's really a very exorbitantly priced case. It's a big no especially when better case with ARGB fan are there at this price point. Top of my head Cooler master MB530P is a solid case much reasonably priced too.

Yall seem to be missing that the case this replaces (The Meshify S2) is $149, not $99 like the Meshify C.
