The Define series is the top of the Fractal Design lineup. The Arc series are their performance series which “lack” a few the Cadillac features of the Define lineup. They both exhibit excellent build quality and case finishes. While the Define series o...

Filtered top exhaust results in higher temperatures, Bottom panel could be sturdier
The updates to the Arc Midi R2 compared to the first generation Arc Midi seem minor at first glance, but are essential and push the Arc Midi from being a great case to being unparalleled at its price point. Often times, compromises by case manufacturers...
Extensive air and water cooling support, Midtower size, Modular drive trays, Tasteful window, Every intake filtered!, Effective use of space, Modern and subtly striking style, Able to accommodate a variety of systems well,
Notched side panels, Could use some more precise tapping of screw holes, Might get a little loud if using highpowered (hotter) components

The Fractal Design Arc Midi R2 is even better than the original Arc Midi, and it is a very good choice if you are looking for a well-built case with lots of additional features...
This case is really hard to beat at it's price point. It is really easy to work in and can be configured in many ways in terms of fans, drive bays, radiator placement and SSD mounting. Due to the trademark simplistic design, it isn't hard to dress it up...
For me personally, the ARC Midi R2 is the right case at the right time. Josh from Fractal Design really knew deep down I would love it - I have no doubt about that now, as I really do enjoy the silence it offers and the style it offers, as it sits six...
