The abundance of functionally identical elements with different design (disk guides, fasteners, fan filters, chassis feet, etc.) make us suspect that Fractal Design is still trying different solutions in practice in search of the best one. The current...
sSince cooling performance depends entirely on hardware used, and environmental factors, there is little point in temperature testing. My system will almost certainly be different from yours or the next person’s, and it would be impossible to get a bas...
Abstract: Fractal Design’s Define R3 case became quite popular in 2011 and it’s definitely a case worth loking at. The company tried to cater to users who like silent, tidy and stylish cases with plenty of room for 3.5’’ drives. Define R3 comes as successor to F...
Fractal Design is one of computer case manufacturers who favor quality and functionality over pure quantity of features. Define R3 is built on the company's Define R2 case, which was quite popular, but is getting a bit old. Define R3 comes with improved a...

No hard drive LED
With outstanding build quality, expandability, cooling, noise levels and design I can find very little to dislike with the Fractal Design Define R3. Use of the word “investment” to describe any PC, or Consumer Electronics, purchase is pet peeve of min...
