The Fractal Design Define R2 case is an in-between ATX case. Its features aren't in the budget area but neither is its price. Since Fractal Design isn’t a very well-known brand yet, compared to bigger names, it is hard to come up with a product that m...

Some quality issues, Graphic cards beyond 29 - 30 cm may not fit, Packaging seems too compact for safe transportation, No eSATA connectivity, Rather heavy
