The FD Meshify 2 Compact is out and we’ve already tested it!

Sophisticated exterior

The popular Meshify C case from Fractal Design finally has a successor on the market after five years. It was introduced on this day and brings a new soul in the old body. The fact that the case has undergone significant innovations is also evidenced by the weight gain of more than one and a half kilograms. The new Meshify is not heavier for no reason, also thanks to this it leaves the first generation far behind.

Conclusion

Meshify 2 Compact has proven itself in practical terms, but also showed a solid cooling performance, where it dominates over the current rivals primarily at lower noise levels/speeds. However, this does not degrade it even at higher speeds and keeps pace without any problems. I was quite surprised how it beat the competition when comparing the motherboard MOSFETs temperatures and heating the top of the case.

You will definitely like the quick side panel removal system and the possibility to remove the upper part of the case. In addition, great cooling and great flexibility to adapt to your needs, while the case is marketed at a reasonable recommended price of 108.99 euros. All this predestines the case for the well-deserved earning of the “Smart buy!” award.

The Meshify 2 Compact can be recommended to anyone looking for a smaller PC case for powerful components. Thanks to the large number of positions, you will not be short of storage capacity. I shall also emphasize the decent modularity, which will help in easy installation of components, also if you want to try different cooling options. Dust protection is at a high level even in dusty environments. Very fine nylon filters take care of that. All this gives the case great potential to use it exactly according to your ideas. Whether you’re a gamer or creative.

Fractal Design Era 2: Holes in wood for more efficient cooling

The Era 2 case is an evolution of the original model (Era ITX), where Fractal Design also changed the approach to the ventilation holes. Be it in terms of the top panel or the side, larger perforations. How the Era 2 will make its mark and stack up against competing SFF cases remains to be seen. Despite the detailed analysis, this is still the first case to pass our new testing methodology. Read more “Fractal Design Era 2: Holes in wood for more efficient cooling” »

A kind of… SFF tower. Fractal Design Mood in detail

The Fractal Design Mood case, unveiled at Computex 2024, is already in our testlab. And while we won’t look at the cooling results just yet, let’s take a look at the key design elements. Based on these, you’ll get an idea of the broad features of the case, which is designed for Mini-ITX motherboards. This then leads to a focus on maximizing space savings on a desk or elsewhere.
