Fractal Design Meshify 2 Black ATX Tower Case

Fractal Design Meshify 2 | Mid-Tower Black Chassis

The Fractal Design Meshify 2 Tower Black is a refined chassis for UK builders seeking high airflow and expandability. Designed for gaming and workstation use, it offers a spacious interior with a focus on cooling performance. This case supports large components and extensive water-cooling setups without compromising on build quality.

Its defining feature is the detachable front nylon filter, which allows you to increase airflow when required. With room for nine fans and large radiators, thermal management is a primary strength.

Key Specifications at a Glance

High-Airflow Front Design

The front panel features a hinged, removable mesh bezel. This design provides unobstructed intake for the pre-installed fans. You can remove the nylon dust filter entirely for maximum airflow during intensive sessions. Because the bezel is tether-free, accessing front fan mounts is straightforward during installation.

Expansive Storage Layout

This chassis supports a massive storage array. You can convert the interior to a storage layout, accommodating up to 11 HDDs and four dedicated SSDs. The included Multibracket converts unused fan positions into mounts for drives or pumps. Tool-less side panels allow quick access without risking accidental drops during upgrades.

Flexible Water-Cooling Support

The Meshify 2 handles custom loops with ease. It supports radiators up to 360 mm in the front and 420 mm in the top. In the default open layout, it fits large reservoirs and complex tubing runs. The movable interior wall helps you manage space for enhanced custom builds.

Modern Connectivity & Management

The front I/O includes a USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C port with speeds up to 10 Gbps. Two USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-A ports and audio jacks are also present. Cable management is simplified with a detachable PSU shield and integrated velcro straps. A Nexus+ 2 fan hub connects up to three PWM and six 3-pin fans.

Tool-Less Access & Build Quality

The steel construction provides a rigid frame for heavy components. Side panels use a top-latching mechanism for easy removal. The case includes a reset button and a dedicated on/off switch. Note that no illumination is included, keeping the aesthetic strictly functional.
