Fractal Design Introduces New Define S Case

Fractal Design’s new Define S Case is redefining what an elegant silent mid-tower case is supposed to be. Forging 5.25″ external drive support and conventional HDD trays, the Define S is able to support extensive water cooling options such as 360mm radiators for the front and top with additional support for mounting reservoirs. Drive storage is moved behind the left side panel for a streamlined and cleaner look. To further dampen noise, the Define S is outfitted with several of Fractal Design’s Modu-Vent covers and bundled with dynamic GP-14 140mm fans out of the box.
