A Closer Look

Thanks to the Fractal Design Meshify C Dark TG, the system looks quite nice. It seems small for an ATX chassis, which has the benefit of making it a manageable system to move around, with the dark tempered glass side panel being a nice touch without taking the whole gimmick too far. With the panel fitting cleanly with no large gaps or problems, overall fit and finish is good as well.


Thanks to the MSI B350 Tomahawk as the included motherboard, connectivity options are good; even a single USB 3.1 Type C port is present, which was a bit of a surprise. Otherwise, all your typical USB/audio jacks are present and accounted for. The GPU features a DVI port, three DisplayPorts, and a HDMI port. The right panel is nothing special, just a plain black steel panel.


On top are two USB 3.0 ports and the power and reset switches. Headphone and microphone jacks are also present. Let's be honest: these are a given. If they weren't here, everyone would likely lose their minds. What is nice is the magnetic dust filter that is easily removed, cleaned, and replaced. Same goes for the filter on the bottom of the chassis for the PSU. It slides out towards the front, which makes it very easy to clean as you won't even have to move the tower to clean it. These two dust filters are great for people like me who tend to be a bit lazy when it comes to cleaning their system.


Look at all the RGB goodness. The fans on the 360 mm all-in-one liquid cooler are controlled via motherboard software, while the two RGB LED strips are controlled via the included controller. I would have much preferred one option or the other rather than needing both to color-match the system. This is something that needs to be improved upon in the future; be it as a warning in the system configurator or as a note when selecting components at the very least.
