Reddit take

Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • The main reasons I see to consider a Define 7 is if you need the drive capacity or the 5.25" bay for an optical drive.
  • I used to have an R2 as well as a Define C and am now on a Define 7 at the office and love it.
  • Case: Fractal Design Define 7

Cons

  • The 7 is an excellent case. It's not the greatest for airflow though, with the front panel being closed. A full mesh front will have better airflow. The Define series is more about a balance of airflow to noise.
  • I think what's driving me towards a case like Define 7 is actually the front dust filtration.
