fractal meshify 2 xl review b

   I’m quite picky when it comes to PC towers, whenever i need to choose one to house one of my test rigs that is. Just imagine that the previous tower to house my Intel Z390 test rig (and probably my Z590 system which I’ll be replacing it with) was the be quiet! Dark Base Pro 900 Rev.2. Well, the Meshify 2 XL actually delivers the same and more and so aside excellent build quality and interior space enough for even the largest hardware components around it also looks very nice and packs several useful features (such as the side panel latching mechanism, Nexus+ fan hub, the versatile - although optional - drive tray configuration and the removable air-filters). My sole objection with Fractal is over the non-RGB fans used which is a shame since the Meshify 2 XL would look great with A/RGB fans.


   Right now, the Meshify 2 XL Computer Case by Fractal Design retails for USD210.28 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and for 201.90Euros inside the EU (Amazon.de) a price tag which is actually very balanced, especially compared to its competition. Overall, there’s nothing bad i could say for the Meshify 2 XL. Yes, the lack of A/RGB fans is something some potential buyers may not like but they can always swap the bundled fans for something more to their liking. Interior space, excellent build quality, impressive cooling potential, available features and even looks, the Meshify 2 XL by Fractal Design has them all and for that it deserves the Platinum Award.
