Fractal Design Arc Mini R2

Darksaber · Nov 11, 2013

Fractal Design's latest mATX chassis brings the Arc Mini series up to par with the Midi line by offering an R2 variant. It includes a few nice updates, but does come with a price tag to match. Is the Arc Mini R2 fly enough to get away with it?

I like Fractal's cases, they're good choices that are affordable and for the money they have very useful features. I'm not a huge fan of the design, I'd prefer it to be a bit less round but that's why I'd choose a Carbide for something bigger.
