Fractal Design Meshify 2 Lite RGB

[Darksaber]

The Fractal Design Meshify 2 Lite and Lite RGB are cost-conscious variants of the originals. These keep $30 in your pocket by adding minimal compromises to several areas of the case. You still get the same dimensions and quality that made the Meshify cases so popular.

Case looks good!

I have the regular Meshify 2 and I would have been fine giving up all the stuff the "lite" is missing besides the USB-C port. Seems like a weird choice.

So they have also taken away the HDD bays and what's worse is there is no option to add them back which is a big bummer.

I'd love to see this in a Compact version. Might be the case that'll replace my 011D mini

Would be a great case for me if I didn't have one already. I like how it's not as square as regular cases and much more horizontally configuered.

I really like the Compact versions of their cases, and they were on the top of my list for my last build before seeing the product reveal of the Mini from LIan Li. I ended up holding off on the build for a few months until the Mini preorders shipped. This Meshify in a compact would be my first choice from Fractal, however it’s going to take something amazing to get me to part with my O11Mini now.

They have 2 HDD bays on the bottom that you can use?

Meshify 2 had additional HDD bays apart from 2 in basement which have been removed from "Lite" version and there is no option to add them back if needed.

I was originally on a Meshify Compact (The 1st one) and because the Top Rad clearance was really bad, I had to switch. My main gripe with the O11D Mini is that the glass panels are kinda a pain to take off since you gotta remove the top panel 1st before you can remove both of them. Not really a fan of the modular back as well since it's kinda flimsy.

Pricey
But then most things are these days
I simply want the non-rgb, non-light Meshyfy 2 version, the one with the option for vertical mounted GPU. I basically have everything else to put in it. But that seems rare and still pricey

I have that exact case and yes it is a bother. Still, I love its innovation. But I think my dual 360 rad 5800x system is a bit too cramped in there, albeit it looks great but can get warm in gaming. I possibly need more airflow and more space, hence my interest in the Meshify 2, with vertical GPU mounting
