Fractal Design Define 7 Compact is a pretty one. But yeah compact does come at a couple of compromises, often to be found in real estate (component space) and airflow. That's not any different for this chassis. Also, you have seen that in our acoustic tes...

The Define 7 Compact Light Tempered Glass case offers a stylish, understated appearance and very quiet performance. Airflow takes a hit to keep noise down, with the solid, insulated front panel reducing the amount of outside air the included 140 mm fan co...
Excellent construction quality, Two quiet retail-grade fans included, Modern liquid cooling possibilities, Very good cable-management layout, Velcro strips for easy cable routing, Potent GPUs and large air cooling fit easily, Storage trays completely out
Heavy, but for the best possible reasons, No HDD activity LED, Falls short in storage with only four as opposed to the six drives in other mid-tower cases, No vertical GPU mounting possibilities, No Nexus 2+ hub
The Fractal Design Define 7 Compact has an MSRP of $99.99 with the solid steel panel or $109.99 for either tempered glass panel version. Excellent construction quality Two quiet retail-grade fans included Modern liquid cooling possibilities Very good cab...

Sleek Define 7 exterior in a smaller profile, Open-top access is handy, Excellent build quality throughout, Pop-open side panels don't need screws, Sound-damping material throughout, Five front USB ports, including Type-C
Loses a fair few Define 7 features, Rear cable clearance is tight, Only available in black
Define 7 Compact is a natural extension of Fractal Design's 2020 range. Building on the success of the original Define 7, this smaller variant shaves away some of the excess bulk for those looking to cut back on both size and cost.The Define 7 entry p...

Tool-free panel removal, Understated appearance, Space for up to 360mm AIO coolers, Sturdy build quality, Spacious interior
Priced a little high compared to similar compact cases, Limited space for top-mounted AIOs
Fractal Design has stuck with its traditional, understated front panel design again with the Define 7 series and while the design may be a little long in the tooth now, it still looks modern and sleek in 2020. The upgrade from a plastic front panel with a...
All right, so that is the Define 7 Compact, it is really nothing special aside from that module top section. If you wanted a smaller Define 7 this is it. However, I am not happy with how the drive cages thumb screws interfere with cable management since t...
