Introduction

I would like to thank Fractal Design for supplying the review sample.



We have the pleasure of looking at the Fractal Design Define C chassis today, which is being launched alongside the smaller Define Mini C. The Define C may, as the name implies, hold a fully sized ATX motherboard, while the Mini can only hold mATX variants. Both cases are available with a solid or windowed side panel. We received the Fractal Design Define C with a window for this review.

Specifications

Packaging

Fractal Design ships the Define C in a simple cardboard box with an image of the chassis on front and a blow-up diagram on the rear. Fractal Design also placed another image of the case interior on the smaller panel, but there is a small cosmetic error as that image is of the Define Mini C. This will be fixed with the retail version - not that it is a relevant issue to end users. On the other side of the box are the specifications of the Define C.


Two Styrofoam spacers hold the chassis in place and protect it from falling damage, while a plastic bag keeps fingerprints and scratches during the packing process at the factory away.
