NEW Fractal Design Case: Meshify C (and x299 build)

[@JarrodsTech]

So much front panel hate? Love dat mesh.

[@thomaskemp3318]

+lucas rem Lol how many xans are you on?

[@CheapSushi]

Hey Lucas, do you have a site or link that talks about that in more detail? I want to make my own tessellated mesh panel.

[@literate-aside]

Yep, it’s dope. I’ll be buying it.

[@markhaus]

It's well made, but I definitely can understand why it doesn't have universal appeal.

[@excessiveworry3838]

>Tries to just do a case review > Ends up reviewing a case, a cpu and a motherboard

[@Delcolux]

I really like the style of the intro. Not just the beam-in, but the tone and cadence of the "did you ever think about..." Reminds me of something... not sure what, but I like it.

[@EliteProductions3129]

I bought this case the moment I started seeing videos on it. Just moved my PC over last night and man this thing looks good. I have two NZXT Aer fans in the front, and the mesh handles light really well. Such a better case than my previous one (P400S).

[@ngurahbramhyang4774]

Evan Pilkington really? Better than p400s? How about airflow? Better or not? Thankyou

[@casanovafrankenstein33andz78]

Great to see you still in the tech game, after leaving your last channel, which the name of slips my mind at the moment. For, I always thought that you were one of the best tech speakers and reviewers on KZbin!

[@kristianodegaard6682]

Just bought the mini version of this case, absolutely love the design and look. Can't wait for it to arrive.

[@TimNelson3D]

Yes a Threadripper build in this case would be awesome because that's just what I'm looking at right now. Good video, thanks.

[@nerdbot4446]

Threadripper would make an epyc boxcutter

[@cybercat1531]

so edgy it cuts

[@bernrudolph2422]

Don't do that, it's strong enough to cut through the contents of the box.

[@crimsun7186]

It's called Threadripper, not Taperipper.

[@davidbrenner4161]

I refuse to call it anything other than Threadrypper to go with Ryzen and Epyc. I'll be consistent even if AMD isn't, dammit.

[@anthonyknight7998]

Fractal Design always impresses me with the build quality of their cases. Nice review!

[@christopherjames9843]

Love hearing Wendell talk. A voice as smooth as silk.

[@ecromancer]

Still wondering about Ryzen 1950X on linux. Hard to find a video at this time.

[@Virusmaster]

To me, this looks like a Define C with a different front and without the sound dampening (which accounts for the light feel). The interior looks very similar if not identical (i.e. removable 3.5" Drive bays, the three 2.5" bays behind the Motherboard etc.) although i do not think that is bad in any way - the Define C is a very nice case as it is but the new front brings some fresh wind into it, which is nice.

[@ogel3747]

Wyrucz it is a define c with the exterior changed.

[@PandaPowerable]

Was waiting to see what it looked like up and running with the tempered glass panel on....might have been an idea to include that in a case review!

[@elesinalex]

I would buy that case, love the looks and mesh front panel. My 200R is getting old and does not have enough airflow.

[@Nec89]

Loving that front panel

[@jir63]

wendell i think u are wrong one one point... Wouldnt you be able to slide/move the 3,5 inch bays a little more towards the psu to allow for a...say Celsius 360?

[@jrsmithunited]

The front was pretty ok this morning. And now in the afternoon I am done with it. Reminds me references nvidia cards. I'd prefer a simpler front like the focus G. But the focus G uses acrylic. Can we have a hybrid please?

[@mky8305]

Perspective is always good feedback. We ended up with a dissertation on high end chip sets for 2017 with a 90 USD !!! case for a 5 year build platform. Come on MAN

[@smoothbrainjones]

99% sure this is the new case I'm going with. I wanna downsize/want a tempered glass side panel. Plus, the front panel looks dope af. Can't wait for this!

[@randalllawkin]

A Bang and Olufsen case?

[@TheMrFishnDucks]

Is there a larger version of this case?

[@18i]

i actually love the front on this, all the define's front panel are looking very boring and dull, this is a nice twist of minimal elegance. Will there be a Meshify Mini C anytime soon?

[@ipushpeople7221]

Only Wendell could turn a case review into X299 review

[@1q3er5]

how exactly do you clean the front panel??? is the foam removable???

[@Evelisk]

Gonna buy this case. Hopefully I can put a second psu where that bottom drive bay is.

[@Arlyon9999]

I'd use this over my s340 elite...

[@nataliegray7703]

Same. I love my Elite, but this has a better front panel for cooling and more radiator options while looking just as great.

[@anchitrao386]

I just have one question. If you put RGB fans behind the front panel, would you be able to see them through it?

[@andrewe3165]

Red top probably deliberate.

[@crunchyeater]

Their production quality just keeps going up...

[@Ascendance2001]

The fan connectors on my mother board are 4 pin so do I have to buy new fans?

[@BlackCubone]

Grayson mountford nope

[@EverythingisFire]

I'd like to see more front panel mesh in future cases. This has a..silly name but looks like a good case! Similar to the "Define" line but I'm glad they finally broke their mold a bit.

[@MattMorgan270]

I love you guys. Nuff said.

[@GR412]

Does anybody know the dimensions of this case? I looked on the Fractal website and there are no dimensions listed at all.

[@Lionchuu]

Might use this case for a coffee lake build soon.

[@Tuchulu]

Can we expect different sizes of this like we get on the Define series?

[@qmperator]

Nice Build Video!

[@johnsci911]

I just ordered that case just now on year 2020 Is it still worth it? Can I ask if the panel is hard to pull on the front?

[@ryPish]

Can I get the cool pattern on the front mesh on the side panel also?

[@hellowill]

why do most reviewers say you gotta remove the whole front?

[@chrisjongeneelen5042]

great job!! informative, funny, eye-pleasing. keep up the good work!

[@clairity_dx5552]

I desperately want this case in an itx form factor.

[@saab9251]

I like the front panel, something that looks cool without being a black slab dripping in rgb. Just my opinion, can understand why others would hate it.

[@burakkasapoglu4547]

Hello, quick question. Do I need to add more case fans if I'm running a 1080ti & R7 1700 w/stock cooler?

[@jkaye5012]

I just ordered this case with a gtx 1080 and i7 9700k should I buy another fan for the front?

[@Arguoify]

It's fucking gorgeous!

[@carlsagan3065]

As usual, brilliant.

[@nonflyingfinn2173]

Finally a bottom dust filter you can remove from the front.

[@manimsoblack]

I actually had thought of the transporter that way. This just brought back horrible memories of Tuvix and my hatred of S1 & S2 Janeway.

[@chrismoore9997]

You should put the parts list (or a link to it) somewhere so people can find the products used.

[@Level1Techs]

Done! :D

[@joemomma7161]

I'm looking for this case but in a full tower version for max airflow and so I can top mount a nxt x62 cpu cooler radiator. Does anyone know of a similar case that is full tower. I like everything about this case but looking for full...

[@NaumRusomarov]

This is a nice unboxing. I love nice unboxings.

[@SlayerSeraph]

I like everything about this case (basically), aside from the size. It's so tiny.

[@FarryEntertainment]

Where do you put your CD? I would like to play my classic games as well!

[@DjstoP100]

That is my question to 😒 I guess there is no place for it

[@Armfan99]

I was able to fit a 240 in the roof (deepcool 240ex) using asus strix z370-f and trident z rgb memory. Its designed in a way where memory height should not be an issue unless it is flared out/weird design for the heatsinks, my ram could be much taller and it would still clear. Really really well designed case by fractal, my only complaint is the front panel it should come off fully and it should have a proper dust filter rather than this foam stuff.

[@EvanDickersonM81]

if this was out a couple years ago when i built my first gaming system I would buy one.

[@potato8090]

can someone please help.. I need to know if there's enough room to put the rad in the front (240mm) and still have room to fit a 1080 ti strix (298mm)?

[@anchitrao386]

Not with fans in front too. Check the length of the Strix on the mfg website and then compare it to the 315mm clearance allowed with fans only.

[@online_now6834]

Did Wendell just switch back Intel?

[@RavenskyAsh]

Which version of Linux are you running? I can not get a good live image of any Linux distro to boot with an Nvidia GTX 1080, the drivers included in most live images just do not work...

[@evoltaocao5078]

i don't think there was a boot in this video, but from what i've seen here they were using fedora 26

[@RavenskyAsh]

He said the components supported Linux perfectly... which is why I was questioning the because of the shitty nvidia drivers or noveau that most Linux live boot images use...which really sucks! I'll have to test Fedora 26 thank you!

[@olbaze]

That intro music had me thinking "Is Wendell going to take off his shirt?"

[@larrywhite9552]

Thanks Windell, I think the regular Define C just add your own glass is a better option

[@ReptilianLepton]

Larry White Define C TG and Define Mini C TG launched last week...

[@VeritronX]

Waited the whole video to see that motherboard and ram lit up through the tempered glass side panel, was disappointed. =(

[@PandaPowerable]

I agree...very disappointing.

[@teeblack06]

i hope they make a white version of this case.

[@zacharywooten9327]

Holy xeon box opener Batman!

[@gregoryshaffer6016]

well, I thought it would be a build , instead of speech on parts to install, it would be nice to show the end result, to note how the pieces fit and tests for cooling and air flow

[@ahmedlaymoun9407]

a threadripper build would be nice

[@rhoharane]

You need to do more tacky effects like in the intro. Like 200% more.

[@leviathanpriim3951]

nice, thanks L1 team

[@happycord3613]

Why x299 why not use threadripper

[@dayvie9517]

The Meshify C is my god emperor.

[@Outland9000]

Hummm, If the mesh was flat... Looks like the R6 with steel sides for my next build.

[@aldphillip2003]

Dude I've always thought about the transporter Ship of Theseus problem!!!

[@TheJimiles]

My question is who hasn't thought of the Ship of Theseus problem?!

[@bernrudolph2422]

I get it, you want to transport the x299 into deep space just to try to keep the thermals down. Let us know if it works.

[@HKy0uma]

That Xeon box cutter....Hmm I think I prefer a camera operator for Wendell. There's something less smooth/ extra dead air space.

[@sebastiaanlafleur1246]

What would be awesome to see tested: - If you overclock the 56, how similar does it perform to the 64 air - If you overclock the 64 air, how similar does it perform to the 64 liquid Very curious to see if they are indeed hardware similar and if the 64 liquid has better binning. Also, as Vega is a little power hungry, how does it perform with undervolting? Power usage vs. performance

[@wzk921109]

X399 build needed.

[@MikaelKKarlsson]

In my humle opinion they're nowadays trying a little too hard to shrink the dimensions of their cases. If the case was wide enough to sport a 140mm rear exhaust, there would also be a bit more room for radiators in the top.

[@3vitor]

What the hell is that video start? Is this common on this channel? Lol nice effects

[@Kurukx]

All you need is Josh and beer

[@MarceloTezza]

To me this is a downstep in relation to their marvel define R5/S. They were true beauties with very good acustics. Btw this trend of not having optical disks anymore is a little bit limiting, but if the market is going for it... The mesh is a clear nvidia related theme, does not feel as clean and minimalistic as the later iterations not horrible, just not as nice as before. The tempered glass looks with the anti vibration pads looks genuinely nice. The I/Os i would like to see more options, interchangeable mods for usb 3 or 3.1 and possibility of interchangeable Headphone and microphone jacks for the bigger one too which a forgot the the size type And possibility of hdmi port for VR. The power button and reset felt a little off on the design language matter. I wonder if a full or almost full top mesh would look nicer, since this case is not meant to be silent. Nice review! Thx!

[@RobertBrownCyberboy109]

I must be crazy but Id replace the glass side panel with new perforated side panel ....

[@SHADOW543121]

Hey man, will you one day be doing keyboard reviews?

[@Camhin1]

SHADOW543121 check out rhino feed for great keyboard reviews.

[@kazevlim]

Can u try 280 on top? xD

[@Mega_Arrow]

The front panel looks like Fractal got a flat mesh design going and then had people punch it.

[@notsofree_willy]

Oh shit that star trek af intro

[@matteldridge5581]

good video because of wendell but not liking that most youtubers all put out a big long fractal design advert and disguised it as a video

[@Gavrev]

You might mod it for E-ATX if you're called Kyle..

[@HewroPreez]

The tessels, luke, the TESSELS!!!

[@killacamfoo]

needs more usb c, that shit is the future and the future is now.

[@CoryAndor]

the mesh is hideous. what year is it for them to try to push that style

[@Jagerbomber]

lol My OCD didn't care about that Xeon. But the front of that case tho...

[@gnunard]

That front has a really.. Fractal design, AMIRITE!

[@halistinejenkins5289]

AAAAAAAHHH!!!! he's wearing a red shirt!! he's going to die in this episode!!!

[@techtipsuk]

That front panel looks dreadful IMO, looks almost unintentional.

[@peterjansen4826]

Another relative small case of Fractal, disappointing. We need a new large and silent case with good cooling. Maybe a R5 with only 1 drive bay for 2 drives and a few small upgrades (better dust filtering).

[@crzces7500]

Nice vid, really like the case except, like many others, that is one ugly front panel. Honestly, I was expecting far more aesthetically for the $120+ usd. Besides the dust filters it is very "un-messy". Hmm, maybe I don't really like the case. I like the interior and top (though it's too small for a larger rad, a "Meshify" seems like it should be air cooled with a silly amount of natural airflow, less exterior metal... just the name gives me ideas for inexpensive custom case builds though.

[@norseatheart1086]

It costs $89....

[@bartacus3521]

That is the most unfortunate case name to come along in a while.

[@blankname8975]

I would like more software related videos. Just my two cents.

[@nickfury393]

WENDEL SHOULD KNOW BETTER THAN TO BEAM DOWN IN A RED SHIRT

[@fallis07]

I feel like the aging process itself is more like the ship of theseus paradox - every cell in your body gets replaced eventually overtime, so are you the same "body" at 30 as you were at 13? The transporter is more a digital copy of you being recreated where as the previous "you" has been vaporized and now dead lol
