Bottom line The design of the Define XL R2 is undoubtedly better than it was before, and kudos go to Fractal for addressing issues like the lack of top fan mounts, the absence of fan control and the poor water-cooling support, as in each case these give users a wider...

Bottom line Fractal Design appear to be a company that are very careful with their implementations and changes on new models. As we found with the Define R4, the preference is to make small changes here and there to improve a predecessor. We have to admit this is...

I feel very lucky today, not only do I get the chance to play around with a Fractal Design chassis, but one of their flagship designs at that. Here, I have the Define XL R2 Black Pearl, a chassis that may just look like any other from the pictures, but wh...
Bottom line Overall I really enjoyed working with the Fractal Design XL R2 and while it might be a little on the large side for some people, it was designed with one thing in mind, extreme performance and Fractal Designs haven't cut any corners in delivering exactly...

Full tower cases optimised for quietness aren't all that common in the case market, because those who need such a case are likely to fill it with hardware requiring lots of noisy air cooling. Fractal's Define series, however, is renowned for its ability t...

In the same conversation I sat down for with Josh Smith from Fractal Design at CES during our meeting there, I was told that by the time I arrived back to my house, this chassis should be waiting there for me. As I was finally able to play catch up w...
Bottom line It may sound a bit cliche to say this, but WOW. I am truly sad I missed the original, as I do wish I had more of a hand on comparison, but there was only so much you can get from a picture and a list of specifications. I really do hope that I caught a...

Bottom line The installation process is extremely straightforward with the Fractal Design Define XL R2. For the most part, it is very easy to work with as far as a standard mid-tower is concerned. Out of preference, I installed my Intel Desktop Board DZ77GA-70K mothe...

When we reviewed Fractal Design's Define R4 back in August 2012, we liked what we saw but felt as though the Swedish manufacturer could do more to spruce-up its tower enclosures. They're starting to feel just a touch too familiar. We've seen some differen...
