Bigger and better: building on the success of the awarding-winning Define XL
- High density noise-reducing material for an optimal silent case **To achieve a high level of noise reduction, material with mass should be incorporated which is what we strive to achieve with the dense bitumen used on the side panels
- Patented ModuVent™ design allowing the user to choose between optimal silence or maximum airflow
- With a new internal layout and additional PCI expansion slots, it can harbor the most powerful enthusiast systems.
- Both HDD cages can be removed or repositioned – Top HDD cage can be removed or repositioned for increased airflow whereas bottom HDD cage can be repositioned further into the case to allow for front radiator mount.
- The case can fit water cooling equipment in the front, top, rear and bottom without major modifications.
- Three-speed fan controller is strategically integrated in the front panel and supports up to 3 fans
- Three Silent Series R2 fans are included, featuring hydraulic bearings which contribute to a longer life expectancy – Silent Series R2 retail fans now come standard in all cases
- New tool-less front fan holder makes switching front fans a breeze
“The Define XL R2 Black Pearl is a case worthy of many awards. There simply is nothing to knock for this, and just so much to love about it! You really need to seriously consider this chassis for any build on up to XL-ATX.”
“We are particularly impressed with the acoustic performance of this case as it is extremely quiet under any situation, only registering above 30 dBA at the maximum fan setting.”
“Truth be told, as far as acoustics in an enthusiast-grade case go, you’re really going to have a rough time beating what Fractal Design has accomplished here. Other cases will cool better, sure, but the XL R2 still cools well, and it’s able to snuff out a lot of noise in the process. The price is right, the performance is there, and it’s exceptionally easy to recommend the XL R2 for a power user that still wants a quiet system.”
