The beneficial evolution of a classic Fractal Design
Fractal DesignMeshify 2 Solid is a high-performance case that boldly blends aesthetics and discretion. Its exterior is striking with its screwless surface, fully removable top panel, redesigned front panel with USB-C, hinged mesh panel and removable nylon filter. Its interior is not to be outdone, functional and designed for maximum flexibility, it allows you to assemble the configuration you want. It can therefore accommodate an ATX power supply, a graphics card of more than 315 mm(491 mm open layout) and it offers high-performance cooling possibilities thanks to 9 fans (3 included) and the possibility of installing a watercooling system (420 mm on top, 360 mm on the front).
An emblematic conception and design
Beyond the bold and stealthy aesthetics of this Meshify 2 case, you'll be delighted to enjoy a spacious dual-compartment layout that can easily accommodate largemotherboards up to 285mm (E-ATX). Ingeniously designed, the Meshify 2 opens fully to expose its interior on three sides for easy installation and cable routing. Adaptable to your needs, it's a clever case that takes advantage of versatile new multi-supports that allow any unused fan position to be converted into a hard drive, SSD, pump stand.
To allow you to take advantage of more storage solutions, the Meshify 2 includes 6 HDD / SSD trays, 2 SSD holders and 1 universal multi-socket to mount up to 9 drives. Even better, the storage can be expanded to 11 trays and 4 SSD holders with 3 multi-supports installed on top and bottom for up to 18 drives.
To take advantage of all your peripherals, it is equipped with a complete connectivity accessible from the front, such as 3 USB ports including a USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C.
Ingenuity for perfect cooling and easy mounting
The new front panel design, with a removable angled mesh filter, allows easier access to the front fan mounts. This new design ensures a perfectly filtered and optimised airflow. To achieve the ideal level of cooling to best preserve your system, the Meshify 2 supports a total of 9 x 120/140mm fans (including 3 x Dynamic X2 GP-14 pre-installed). If your goal is to design a quiet machine, the Meshify 2 can of course support radiators up to 360mm at the front, 420mm at the top or 280mm at the base in the default open layout.
The ultra-thin Nexus+2 fan hub allows you to connect up to three PWM fans and six 3-pin fans directly, with clean cable management running along the entire edge of the case.
Designed for ease of setup and maintenance, the Meshify 2 features easy-to-clean, high-flow nylon filters on the front, top and base. Tool-free, top-locking panels allow for quick access while preventing accidental drops.

It's in the box
I was looking for a sober and very advanced camera, which is complicated nowadays between the first price cameras and the flashy ones; I finally found it!
I've already had a bunch of cases and I have to admit that it's just great. Everything is designed to mount the desired configuration (lots of possibilities depending on the use). Everything can be easily disassembled/reassembled: covers, walls, cage, dust filters, adventure,... it's a real pleasure.
The materials are of high quality, it is a real pleasure.
I directly replaced the original fans with Silent Wings (5x 14cm in total, 1 under the case, possibility of placing 9 in all...).
Speaking of ventilation, the case is very well ventilated and is just great for all uses (office and gaming in my case).
Be careful, it is quite wide, you have to take it into account depending on the available space.
It's stylish but that's subjective.
In short, I don't regret this purchase at all, on the contrary, and this camera should stay with me for a long time.
I can only recommend it.
