    Careful delivery, top product

    I already had a previous-generation Fractal Design case. I've noticed a number of improvements, in particular the side panels that can be removed without screws, a USB-C port on the front, and a modified and improved interior layout. The cable management is as good as ever. The overall quality of the case is excellent, the fans make no noise, and the case in general is perfectly silent, with excellent insulation. The numerous filters ensure that there will be no dust in the case for a long time to come.
    It's worth noting that it is possible to install a 5"1/4 optical drive (a bluray burner in my case), but be sure to read the instructions carefully, as a support piece needs to be turned through 90°, the front fans need to be relocated, etc. I didn't see/understand it at first!
    Inverting the inner plate to allow numerous 3.5" hard drives to be fitted is not easy either.
    In the end, the only real fault is that the numerous possibilities for configuring the case would benefit from slightly better instructions. It's true that there are diagrams, but they're not all very clear.

    the best of the best

    top quality as usual with fractal

    very nice finish, good metal for the walls and brushed metal on the front, it's beautiful, very beautiful, very very beautiful
    perfect for forty-somethings like me who are past the age of RGB on the glass side, its sobriety is matched only by its elegance (I almost bought the fractal with wooden slats on the front ^^)

    dust filters everywhere, soundproofing foam everywhere, perfect ergonomics and cable management
    having previously had an ARC midi R2 (semi) mesh fractal, I've only had to clean it once in 9 years (you're not dreaming) and I've hardly had to remove anything, so imagine with this monster that's going to put a stop to all foreign bodies
    everything opens effortlessly and is easy to access, and everything inside is modular (but really)

    in short, this fractal R7 has everything going for it, it's close to perfection, but are we really surprised by this? no, if you're like me and used to this brand
    it's not cheap, but you have to pay for quality, don't you? and the quality is there, in every area.

    I'm not going to change brands with this camera.

    On/off button already tired

    The on/off button is starting to show signs of intermittent failure, which is not great for a box of this price.

    Sober and quiet

    Sober, quiet, excellent finish.
    Easy to clean as the filters are magnetic or clip on, great idea to be able to remove the filter from the bottom from the front rather than the back.
    A great box for people who are getting tired of RGB :)

    Very good

    This box is as described, and the reviews are pretty representative of my experience.
    The price is a bit high, but the quality is there. I particularly appreciate the multiple possibilities of cooling and cable passage, not to mention the easy access dust filters.
    This case allows a clean assembly where the cables remain in their place.

    It's a bit more than double what I used to put in a case, but I don't regret it. Unless there is a drastic change in CM standards, I think I'll keep it for a long time.
