Fractal Design Define R3

A lot of what we do here at Techgage is deeply rooted in the interactions we have with others in the industry. Many times, we line up a meeting via phone or if lucky, in person, at any one of the trade shows we cover. More often than not, we have a gameplan when going into anything that we do. We wake up and know what needs worked on or who we are going to meet with that day. But, more often than not we know what to expect going into any meeting or discussion about a new product. The genesis of this review is not such a scenario. Going into CES last January, I hadn't heard much about Fractal Designs. If it hadn't been for a few visits to a couple of European tech sites, the company's name would have in no way crossed my mind. However, in an opportune moment while waiting for Rob's plane to land at the Las Vegas airport, I ran into Elizabeth Castiglioni, Channel Marketing Manager of Fractal Design North America Inc. At the time, I had no idea who she was and whether or not she was there for CES, but given the numbers that CES brings into the city ever year, I played the odds and started up a conversation in the same way anyone does in an airport.

Fractal Design Define R3

Fractal Design’s Define R3—the first Fractal case that will be widely available in the States—marries cool Scandinavian design with a hefty dose of acoustic foam and lots of nice touches. The Define R3 is available in four colors: black, grey, silver, and white. We chose the white one because, damn, something about an all-white case with a great paint job just gives us the warm-and-fuzzies. And it really is a great paint job—it’s all smooth and glossy on the outside and matte on the inside, like the gods intended. The case’s frame and panels are all steel, and the side panels are quite heavy—due in part to the dense sound-absorbing foam panels they include. The case includes a nicely weighted front-panel door (with the hinges on the left), with acoustic foam on the inside and side vents so the front fans can continue to pull air into the chassis. The Define R3 ships with just two 12cm fans (front and rear), but it has room for five more. Behind the front door are two easy-open filtered fan bays—the top one is unoccupied, but easy to clip a second fan into. The top panel has room for two 12cm or 14cm fans, but by default those openings are covered with black plastic-and-foam acoustic damping panels; there’s another of these setups on the left side panel.
