I selected this case as part of a desktop build with i9 processor. My priorities were a case that was quiet and had enough room to work in and add all the components I wanted. This was my first desktop build.Pluses:The case is high end and all materials are top notch. It is well worth the money.All components were included and the instructions were very clear and helpful.Plenty of room for plenty of fans and clearance for a CPU cooler and graphics card.Good size case for a first build.Negatives:As others have noted, the front mesh screen pops off easily but the audio and USB inputs are hard wired to the top of the panel. This prevents it from being completely removed. So far, this has not posed any problems.3.5" audio jack on top panel only accepts 2 ring jacks. Not a problem - If you are using headphones that have 3 rings (apple headphones w/ mic), you will need an adapter cable to accept devices that have 3 rings. Example (regular stereo headphones will tend to have two rings creating three sections with two of them providing the connection to the left and right speakers. Three rings: If you plug a three-ringed audio jack into the device, it means that your device is designed to have a microphone).Recommendation:I would highly recommend this case. If I build another desktop, I would buy the same case again!

it’s a great case. Cable management is well planned for you. Plenty of room for any size mobo.Lots of space for HD’s / Sshd’s etc. great airflow.Comes with plenty of extra hardware.Three fractal design foams are included, two in front and one in back. You will have space to add two more on top of you want.There is also space for a water cooler tank and the case comes with the brackets.Has front usb C ( neswest usb) on top next to power button, along with two USB ports.Plenty of flexibility overall for almost anything a average pc builder could want.The glass panel is nice, and snaps formally into place, and doesn’t feel like it will break easily.Don’t cheap out on a case if your planning a good build and or want to upgrade in the future.Makes your life easier.Also. On the back of the case it has a little delay for some of your case fans, and hard drives. Made wrong and cable management easier for me.Get it. You won’t be dissapointed in this case.

Really loving fractal cases lately previously moving build out of a "Define R6" and into the "meshify S2" and I absolutely love it. The "define R6" was nice but the sound panels dont really do a lot for noise and does not have the best cooling and then they came out with this being exactly what I wanted as the regualr "meshify C" was just to small and tight. This case has amazing airflow and cooling capabilities and fits everything pretty well other then some ram clearance contact when trying to mount a 280mm radiator in the top with ram that has wide light bars on the top of them but it still fits. The hdd trays can also hold ssd which for some reason no one wanted to ever mention making a total of 7 actual ssd locations which is exactly what I needed for my all ssd build. I just love almost every last detail of this case from airflow dropping all of my temperatures dramatically and the superb build quality but I do advice you be very careful with the mesh filter area as they are the only things that could bend and warp easily if your not careful so keep that in mind.I couldn't recommend this case enough even with some minor nitpicks but again the one big problem is the ram contact with large aio and fans so i really wish this case was a bit taller to fix that on top of allowing more space for cables and all that at the top but shouldn't be that huge of a issue with a simple tower color of a descent size. Loved how I was even able to use the white ssd trays and pci covers from the define r6 in this case for a nice black and white look so that was a big plus.

This case is awesome. It’s damn near perfection. Yes there is room for improvements, but there just subtle changes. I love the TP glass side and even more how it connects to the case.PROs:Huge case, Well Constructed, A Place for Everything, Ventilated Everywhere, Precision Fit, Extreme ExtensibilityCONs:1. The case needs to be about two inches taller. If you place an EXTA motherboard like EVGA’s x299 Dark into this case you have 30 mm of space above the case for a radiator and fan.2. The front panel clipped completely on or off. It’s a real pain screwing fans in near the top.It Would Be Nice If ...1. The PSU cage was easier to access2. If the PSU has two openings instead of one. The new one needs to be just big enough for a fan and radiator.3. The 24 pin and USB cables had about 1/2 inch more space to feed cables through.
