Fractal Design Define XL R2 (Black Pearl) Gaming Case, XL-ATX/E-ATX, Modular Design, 3 Fans, Fan Controller, ModuVent Technology, Sound Dampening

Bigger and better: building on the success of the awarding-winning Define XL

High density noise-reducing material for an optimal silent case **To achieve a high level of noise reduction, material with mass should be incorporated which is what we strive to achieve with the dense bitumen used on the side panels

Patented ModuVent™ design allowing the user to choose between optimal silence or maximum airflow

With a new internal layout and additional PCI expansion slots, it can harbor the most powerful enthusiast systems.

Both HDD cages can be removed or repositioned - Top HDD cage can be removed or repositioned for increased airflow whereas bottom HDD cage can be repositioned further into the case to allow for front radiator mount.

The case can fit water cooling equipment in the front, top, rear and bottom without major modifications.

Three-speed fan controller is strategically integrated in the front panel and supports up to 3 fans

Three Silent Series R2 fans are included, featuring hydraulic bearings which contribute to a longer life expectancy – Silent Series R2 retail fans now come standard in all cases

New tool-less front fan holder makes switching front fans a breeze

Room for water cooling – everywhere

This updated chassis carries on the family tradition of providing superb cooling and ventilation capabilities with exceptional expandability, in a sleek and stylish Scandinavian form.

The Define XL R2, which includes our innovative ModuVent™ feature, has an updated internal layout that offers even greater modularity and flexibility, including capacity for 9 PCI cards and two HDD cages that can be repositioned to provide even more space for water cooling radiators.
