Overview

More elegance, more silence and RGB backlighting...

Fractal Design 's elegant Define S2 Vision is illuminated with a trendy RGB back light. The Define S2 Vision RGB always combines sobriety, silence and performance. Its cutting-edge design has been thought out to improve the silence of your setup. It will satisfy the most demanding users. Innovative in many ways, the S2 Vision has many possibilities to optimise the cooling of your various components, whether you want to favour air cooling or watercooling. The Fractal Design case is truly well designed and aesthetically pleasing, and is sure to impress everyone around you.

Optimised design and stunning lighting effects

The Fractal Design Define S2 Vision is an eye-catching case with four Prisma AL-14 PWM ARGB fans and a pre-installed AR-4020 ARGB LED strip. And for added style, it also features an R1 RGB Adjust controller for physical control of colours and effects.

Complete, efficient, no-compromise for the powerful configuration enthusiast, it supports E-ATX, ATX, Micro ATX and Mini ITX motherboards. It includes three 3.5" hard disk supports, two 2.5" SSD supports, 7 PCI expansion slots + 2 vertically placed, low profile power supply mounting and 9 fan slots (4 included). Everything has been thought out to facilitate the integration of components and the maintenance of the system. It can accommodate a graphics card measuring up to 440 mm.

Optimal cooling and silence

The Define S2 Vision RGB is not very discreet from a lighting point of view, but it has been designed to be as quiet as possible. Thanks to its cleverly placed soundproofing materials and its famous Prisma AL-14 PWM ARGB fans, it is surprisingly sober. The S2 Vision has ample space to accommodate watercooling systems up to 360 mm or fans up to 240 mm high.

It has been well designed so that you can install additional fans. The case is supplied with four 140mm Prisma AL-14 PWM ARGB fans, designed to provide optimised airflow with minimal noise. Fan management is provided by the Nexus 9P smart HUB, which allows you to control up to 9 PWM devices via your motherboard.

The chassis of the case has been designed for optimal cable management. For watercooling, either 280mm or 240mm slim radiators can be installed.

Tempered glass on all panels

The S2 Vision RGB is aptly named, with a stylish tempered glass finish on all panels (front and sides), allowing you to easily view the interior of your setup and its stunning lighting effects. This finish gives the case such a futuristic design. The Fractal Design S2 Vision RGB has plenty of room inside for your components. So much so that, as mentioned above, you can fit a graphics card up to 440mm and a motherboard in E-ATX format. To make sure you're never left out in the cold, it also offers a wide range of connections on the front, including a USB 3.1 Type C port (10 Gbps) for faster transfers.

    Nice case but not very soundproof

    I previously had an excellent Corsair 850D full-tower case with two loops of CPU and GPU WC. I'm switching to a different case to have USB-C connections on the front and because of the Corsair's footprint, which hinders the WAF.
    No big surprise: the Fractal Design case is very well designed on the classic "Define" base.
    The "all glass" aspect makes it very qualitative. I was able to install my two 280mm watercoolers without any problems. It accepts up to nine fans. A very good cable management is possible with a lot of choice in the organisation.
    But as it is, with the four 140mm fans supplied, it certainly ventilates a lot but it is also very noisy. The fans supplied should be changed for soundproofing purposes. This increases the final price. Of course the fans are PWM and their speed can be controlled but beyond 800 rpm, it is a hair dryer.
    On this subject, the supplied fan connector also looks really "cheap" for a case of this price and does not raise the RPM to the CM.
    I'm not a big fan of LEDs in a PC but fortunately they are easily deactivated.
    So a mixed opinion: a good and beautiful case but not a very good quality/price ratio especially if you have to change the fans and the PWM connection card.
    As usual, no worries with LDLC's service quality.
