Fractal Design FD-CA-DEF-MINI-C-BK-W Define Mini C - Window - Black

Just to let you know the title for this case is a internal name and the images are glitched (It is the Fractal Design Define Mini C - Window). However this does mean you can probably get it at a lower price at the moment as not many people can find it, Ive taken a few photos of my build to show cable management and how the case in general looks because there is only one image.The case was amazing to build in, compared to the last case I used temporarily until this one arrived (it was some CIT £20/£30 case from an old prebuilt) This is in a completely different league. All of the cable management holes for the motherboard have rubber grommets and you can hardly see any cables except your front panel connectors, 24 Pin, 8 Pin and PCIE power. The USB 3 and sata cables can be hidden behind your 24 pin cable easily so you don't even have to see them. The power supply installation was different to usual as you have to slide it in the back, however after building in it I prefer it this way not only do you have the good looks of a power supply/hdd shroud it is also very easy to remove (four thumbscrews) to get more cables from the back of the shroud/psu. This makes cable management very easy, even with a non modular psu you can just shove all the cables you dont use behind the shroud and they wont interfere at all. The back side panel is flat and includes sound dampening foam (good as the HDD's are behind it in the shroud) however this can make some cables harder to get in the right place without cable ties (which are included anyway) so that you can get the back panel back on (mainly a problem with cable extensions). Also on the motherboard backplate cover there is a place for upto 3 SSD's with easy installation through thumbscrews. The HDD installation is also very easy with you just having to place some special screws through a sound dampening foam cut out so there is no vibration noise from the HDD, it simply then slides into place in the PSU shroud.The case is very quiet, very well made and overall I highly recommend it to any First time PC builder or Experienced PC builder, You will not be disappointed for the price. It has all the features of the more expensive cases on the market in a better form factor from a trusted/reliable company.

I liked it a lot in the beginning. It's elegant, flexible, smartly designed and comes with some extra bits and pieces to customize it.But the problems started, the graphic card kept heating up, the CPU cooler spinned a lot. It wasn't until I build a PC in a different, bigger case did I realize that this was just too small. It was a pain to do any maintenance or replace any parts in it. My hands are about average-big but not giant, but it was uncomfortable to change or clean anything. The inside of fthe case was too hot and the air circulation was poor no matter how many things I tried.You really have to know what you're signing up for. Maybe need some water cooling too and an absolutely dustless room, so you don't have to clean the interior often.

This is a cracker of a case. I bought this for my Dad's build, to build alongside my own. I had bought a Corsair SPEC Omega for myself which I had for 1 week before getting this. The Define Mini C is a far better quality case over the Omega case. The materials used and build are of a high standard, giving a real sturdy feel to it. Although this is a mATX case, there is ample cable management routes as well as some great velcro straps provided. The basement cover gives real tidy look. All vents/instakes (except the rear, have magnetic or easily removeable filters. I used a MSI B450M pro gaming mATX motherboard, MSI gaming 8gb RTX 2070 and 5 fans, all fitted in with ease and ample room. Do not hesitate, buy this case, you will not regret it. I am even considering buying the Mid Tower version for myself.

Astonishing case for the price. Really high quality, great noise dampening pads which make the job done. Beautifully match my monochromatic build. The only thing to consider is the acrylic side panel which can get scratched easily - so be careful. But tempered glass should not be expected in this price range. Cable management is just brilliant, you can tie and hide everything behind motherboard and end up with a clean look.

What a beautiful and compact case with ample room despite the fact.Case comes with a fantastically helpful manual, an abundance of neatly and helpfully sorted screws and a modular design for vents. The sound proofing is just great.My only gripe is that the rubber feet don't do much to absorb the heavy vibrations of the HDD, which can travel with louder drives such as the Toshiba P300.

Cable management was superb and the space for attaching my 2.d SSDs have nicely hidden away and easily accessible. If you don't have a modular Power Supply, you may find it tricky to fit your 3.5 HHD rack.

Wish the case gave a bit more option to sort out the cables. The inbuilt fans are a bit loud.
