Personally, I am all about practicality. I think things have gone a bit too far with all the extra RGB lights that people put in their cases but to each their own. I am not bad-mouthing anyone who has that going on for their system, I am just saying some of it is too much for ME.There is only 1 con that bothers me thus far. The case comes with a stock vertical mount, however, I don't feel comfortable using it as it positions the GPU too close to the glass for my liking. Other than that I don't have any other real complaints. Now that we've got that out of the way, let's move on to what I DO like about the case.The practicality of this case is excellent, the functionality is what I have been looking for for quite some time now. I am upgrading from an NZXT H510 which was a good case too but my major complaint with it was airflow. In this case, airflow is not an issue as the front panel is open which allows my Corsair H100i Elite LCD to breathe appropriately.The number 1 feature of the Meshify 2 is modularity. When you take the case apart you have so much room to work with. The top cover comes off completely which keeps you from having to contort yourself or move the case a bunch of times in order to get the right angle to plug something in that is hard to reach. It has so many different configurations you can use for your setup. There are so many different options from the size of the motherboard you choose to use to drive mount locations/configurations and cable management is a breeze. The 2 USB 3.0 and Type-C connections on the front panel are an added bonus as well.Shout out to Fractal for a job well done, this case is exactly what I was looking for and suits my needs perfectly.Likes:- Quality - Fit & Finished - Hardware, HDD screws have a texture for hand tightening - Attention to details - Instructions- Packaging - Protection - The accessory box was clearly labeled with a pictograph along with the quantity- Customization Dislikes- Factory screws were overtightened, risk of stripping their heads- Hard Drive Storage trays front left are unsupported. Vibration concerns when using mechanical drives.- Manual missed the optional screw to secure the Hard Drive storage tray to the back bracket.I purchased the Meshify 2 to house my home server and to run a few VM’s. I needed a case that would hold many storage devices. A quality case is paramount. I wanted a modern case that would not just house all the drives but also promote good wire management. Cable pass-throughs around the motherboard, expressly along the top for the CPU wire cables. No sharp edges that would inflict harm on wire or flesh. Exceptional airflow with good dust management. Removable top to allow greater access to the CPU power cables and installing a CPU cooler. A sturdy case that would last for years and support future builds. I spend more time researching my case than any other single item.This is the second Fractal Design case that I own. I have tried most of the major brands and returned to Fractal. Fractal's case not only met my demands but also exceeded them. Look at the manual at all the possible locations where you can mount a storage device.I am extremely satisfied with my purchase of the Meshify 2 case. Thanks to the Fractal Design team for continuing their legacy of a quality product.Be careful! This guy weighs around 30lbs.This PC case is big on the inside! If you're like me and don't have any physical drives, I only have NVMEs. The cooler I am using is a Scythe Fuma and that is a 3070ti with plenty of space. You can customize the case however you like. I took out the HD cage to make room for more fans. It comes with a fan nexus on the back side of the case inside. You can hook up to 6 fans and make them go full speed or iirc 4 fans and do PWM.Be careful though, some PSU cables will not be able to reach everywhere so you have to be a bit creative to make it all work. I used zip ties to make sure my mid-tier wire management didn't hit the GPU fans.Very easy case to build in. I probably could have used a smaller case, but it's got plenty of room for graphics cards, radiators, and fans. I also really like the look of the front panel.This is a nicely designed case and fits together really well. However, don't plan on using it with a 420mm radiator on top as it claims to support. I have a Z690-E Asus Strix MB and an Arctic Freezer II 420 and there is absolutely no way to get it to fit. The radiator won't clear the rear IO Panel; not even close.Further more, the back panel cutout behind the cpu is to small to accommodate the liquid freezer II LGA1700 bracket! You will have to trim approx 3mm off the bracket (or the back panel) so the bracket will drop inside the hole.I ended up purchasing an ASUS ROG Strix Lc 360mm cooler which I expect to solve all my problems except perhaps the LGA1700 bracket clearance issue.Arctic shares some of the blame for these issues but Fractical Design should not be claiming that it supports a 420mm radiator on top.This case is amazing and it looks good. Easy to work with.If you’re looking for real estate to fit your liquid cooling needs, this case rocks. Plenty of room for top and front mounted radiators. Tool-free when removing panels & filters. Storage mode is niche, but a cool option that isn’t common in most current-year cases. Included fans are 140 mm but limited to only 3.Love this case! Looks great and is super easy to build in.Only down side is it is a bit expensive currently.Expensive but a really great caseGood spacegood looksWell designed with cabling hidden etcPerfect case. Sturdy, easy to build and a ton of space for drivesFractal Design Meshify 2, this is an amazing case, has good airflow, feels sturdy has great build quality. Can fit enough 3.5m hdds. Front USB c, mesh is of very high quality.I have 8700k, 6900xt, z370 gaming carbon ac.Case is keeping the temps down to approx 15 degrees when compared to my previous case (gigabyte ac300w).I was sceptical before purchase and was more tilted towards lian li mesh 2.But got this and very much satisfied.Il mio primo case full tower. L'ho acquistato arrivando da un Corsair Crystal 460X. Lo spazio interno è DAVVERO tanto. Ti stai chiedendo se il tuo nuovo dissipatore più ventole avranno abbastanza spazio? Beh, penso proprio di sì: sono riuscito a farci stare il Noctua NH-D15, uno dei blocchi di raffreddamento tra i più ingombranti in commercio, ed è avanzato qualche centimetro. I pannelli laterali, frontali e superiore sono a incastro, molto morbido e molto semplice da staccare, prevedo che sarà piuttosto facile da pulire! Il vetro non ha buchi per le viti ma anch'esso si incastra, garantendo il minimo rischio di romperlo montandolo. Che dire, Fractal Design è il mio nuovo marchio di case preferito!Molto bello e di ottima qualità nei materiali. Nonostante la sua compattezza ha spazio a non finire sul davanti, nel retro un buon sistema per organizzare e ordinare i cavi che restano nascosti. Si apre tutto senza viti e per la pulizia interna di filtri anti polvere e ventole è il massimo. Le temperature, anche solo con le tre ventole di serie, sono molto buone, io lo uso con un Ryzen 7 3800x con nctua NH-U 12S ed una RX 5700xt Nitro e le temperature in questo momento sono CPU/GPU 38°/36° con le ventole della GPU spente e quella CPU al minimo, sotto carico non ricordo esattamente ma CPU e GPU stanno sui 75° più o meno, posso comunque dire con sicurezza che il ricircolo d'aria interno è molto buono grazie al frontale e al pannello superiore mesh, può ulteriormente essere migliorato aumentando il numero di ventole o la qualità delle stesse a proprio piacimento.La rumorosità è sui 30-33 dBA a 60 cm circa.Io mi sto trovando benissimo. Bello esteticamente, compatto, pulito nelle linee, fresco e spazioso, lo consiglio.
