Fractal Design Define C Overview

Keep your build clean, cool, and quiet with the Define C Mid-Tower Case from Fractal Design. Featuring an open-air design, this case supports ATX, Micro-ATX, and Mini-ITX motherboards while delivering plenty of airflow for your components. In addition to two bays accommodating 2.5 and 3.5" drives, the Define C also sports an additional three 2.5” drive mounts on the back of the motherboard tray. Furthermore, users can take advantage of seven expansion slots, supporting GPUs up to 12.4” long with the front case fan installed. This case also supports CPU coolers up to 6.77” and ATX power supplies up to 6.88”.

Utilizing a steel frame and panels, the Fractal Define C incorporates sound-dampening materials for passive noise reduction. Two 120mm fans come preinstalled, and the case can fit up to five additional user-installed 120 or 140mm fans. Liquid cooling support also allows users to swap out fans for radiators, with sizes up to 360, 240, and 120mm supported on the front, top, and rear of the case. The front panel of the Define C also incorporates I/O ports, including two USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-A ports and individual 3.5mm audio input and output ports.

Ample Airflow for Quiet Computing
Cooling support via both air and water is offered to ensure even powerful systems can be cooled effectively. Additionally, the Fractal Define C features front and side panels lined with sound-dampening materials for quiet operation. Working in tandem with this design, the case comes with two preinstalled Fractal Design Dynamic X2 GP-12 120mm fans optimized to deliver airflow with a low noise level. Furthermore, the open-air interior creates an unobstructed airflow path from the front intake to the rear exhaust.
Clean-Looking, Inside and Out
Thanks to its power supply shroud, the Define C conceals the drive cage and excess cabling for an even quieter and cleaner-looking interior free of airflow obstructions. Meanwhile, easy-cleaning nylon filters on the front and base reduce dust with full PSU coverage and convenient front access.
