Introduction

I would like to thank Fractal Design for providing the Define Mini review sample.

Most of you may not know Fractal Design, but the company has been making a splash with their unique enclosures at a competitive price. The company also sells power supplies, case fans, and a few accessories on top of that.

Not much else to say really, but this is their official vision:

Our vision is to have a constant, healthy growth together with our partners worldwide. Our goal is to be widely recognized for our designed products and to have them available in all major market regions within EU and US. We should be a good alternative to the already established retail brands of today. It's of great importance for us that our partners understand the values of Fractal Design; therefore we are putting great effort into choosing the right partners from the start. We will work actively to maintain sales territories and profitable business for our partners.

We are taking a look at the Fractal Design Define Mini today, which takes the successful Define series and shrinks it down to the mATX standard. This means that Fractal Design now offers the Define case in all three major sizes, catering to every need.

Packaging

Fractal Design ships the Define Mini in the same themed package as its bigger variants. On the front you have an image of the case itself, while the rear goes into the details about the enclosure's strong points. Both sides are void of any really vital information. Even though the package is fairly compact, there are two carrying holes.


Two Styrofoam spacers hold the chassis in place doing the shipping process and protect it from damage. A plastic bag has been applied during the packing process to keep fingerprints and scratches away from the case.

Contents

Fractal Design includes all the usual contents with the Define Mini. You will get black screws, a 3.5 inch front for the pre-installed adapter within the chassis and the signature fan controller. There are two reusable zip ties included as well.
