Fractal Design Meshify 2 Compact | Mid-Tower Gaming Chassis

Fractal Design Meshify 2 Compact Tower Black | UK Consultant Review

The Fractal Design Meshify 2 Compact Tower Black is engineered for UK builders seeking high-airflow performance in a space-efficient form factor. It targets gamers and creators who require robust cooling potential without the bulk of a full tower. This chassis supports ATX motherboards and offers a distinct, angular mesh front for unimpeded intake.

Slim Specifications

Optimised Airflow Path

The open interior layout creates a smooth airflow path from intake to exhaust. This design helps maintain lower component temperatures during sustained loads. Because the front mesh is hinged and removable, cleaning dust filters is straightforward and quick. You can install up to seven fans for extreme cooling configurations.

Flexible Storage Options

Storage support is versatile for a compact case. It accommodates two 2.5”/3.5” drives and up to four SSDs. Two SSD brackets are included to help you maximise capacity. The sturdy steel drive trays feature rubber grommets to dampen vibration, ensuring quieter operation.

Robust Water Cooling Support

For liquid cooling enthusiasts, this case is highly capable. It supports front radiators up to 360 mm and top radiators up to 240 mm. The top panel is fully removable, providing excellent interior access for installation and maintenance. However, the PSU shroud covers the bottom, so ensure your radiator thickness fits the specified clearances.

Premium Build and Cable Management

The chassis features a seamless steel panel with a bolt-free top-latching mechanism. For cable routing, there are three integrated alignment clips and six velcro straps included. This helps maintain a clean build aesthetic behind the motherboard tray. Note that illumination is not included, keeping the focus on airflow and performance.
