The Meshify C is as good as its predecessor, and a tenner cheaper as well. The pricing however remains a bit on that high side. While we do miss a fan controller in this price range we also understand that most people simply connect their fans to a FAN co...

140 mm fan in front would have been great, 175 mm for the PSU may not be enough for high-end units, Using a 360 mm radiator alongside the HDD cage in front will reduce PSU space considerably, I/O a bit basic, 2.5" drive tray covers CPU cooler's opening, L...

If you're a fan of Fractal cases, you've maybe looked at the Define C and wondered what it would be like if they did a high airflow version to make the most of the extensive water cooling capabilities it possesses. If this is the case, then with more and...

This isn't going to be a massive conclusion. After all you probably already know how much we liked the Define C, and as the Meshify C shares the same chassis there's little more to say about it that hasn't been said already, instead we're simply going to...

We've received a lot of requests from readers to review the Fractal Meshify C, and rightfully so. The case combines three things we've liked a lot recently: mesh front panels, tempered glass, and the Fractal Define C. We've been advocating cases with thi...

We liked Fractal's C design last time we reviewed it, and we still do now. The Meshify C gets bonus points for directly addressing the thermal performance of the Define C, which was the only real negative in our review. Fractal has avoided compromising o...
