KitGuru says: We've waited a long time for an update of Define R6 and Fractal has delivered a stellar case for 2020.

Rubberized cable guides and a full 30 millimeters of space behind the mainboard tray make cable management easier.

The Nanoxia Deep Silence 8 Pro does look interesting, especially as the drive trays look like they don't have the "three-corner mount" design of the Define 7, which I'm a bit wary of.It has been a long time since Fractal release an XL series case, with their Define XL R2 being the company’s last entry into this niche market. We'll have a peek at the Fractal Design Define 7 XL, an all-black, all cool and all silent PC housing for a wide variety of motherboards. That is pretty much our only criticism of the Define 7 and we come to the end of this review with a satisfied feeling and a big smile on our collective face. There is space for a 240 or 280 dual radiator on the bottom of the case, as long as no hard drive cage is used, and there is a 120 mm radiator on the back of the case. With this generation, Fractal has decided to drop its R-series brand name, instead favouring a simpler numbered naming scheme.

In other words, the measured noise levels in dB will not reflect the actual human perception of the loudness of the noise. I'm not opposed to using a rackmount case, but from what I've read these are also going to be noisier. If the item comes direct from a manufacturer, it may be delivered in non-retail packaging, such as a plain or unprinted box or plastic bag. Does anyone know if these R6 downsides are the same in the Define 7 (the drive tray design seems to be the same)? With cooling right out of the box thanks to the three included Dynamic X2 GP-14 fans, the Define 7 is the perfect choice for epic airflow.As Etorix said, it's slightly fiddly to get the drive trays in and there are a decent number of screws, but for my use case that's not really an issue. The Define 7 passed the test by the skin of its teeth but it is obvious the cooling fans have a relatively slow spin speed and the front door clearly restricts air flow. It is a product made with airflow and liquid cooling in mind to serve the more performance-oriented PCs builders.
