Fractal Design Expands Define Series of Cases

The new Define S offers the same appearance, sound dampening technology, and support for a variety of components as other cases in the Define Series, while introducing a new internal layout.

Fractal Design, a manufacturer of computer cases, power supplies, and fans based in Sweden, has released the Define S case, a new segment of the company’s Define series of cases. The Define S features the same appearance, sound dampening technology, and support for a wide variety of components as other cases in the Define Series, but with a new internal layout. The internal layout of the Define S omits the optical drive bays, instead focuses on a clear straight airflow path and uncompromising water cooling support.

Key features of the Define S include:

  • Houses radiators up to 420mm in the top and 360mm in the front

  • Newly designed hard drive trays placed vertically behind the front partition of the motherboard tray
  • Three steel trays with vibration-dampening grommets allowing for installation of one 3.5-inch or 2.5-inch drive on each tray
  • Additional 2 dedicated steel SSD trays placed behind the motherboard tray
  • Long motherboard tray extending to the front panel, hiding both hard drives and cables
  • Available with a large window on the side panel

  • ATX, Micro ATX, Mini ITX motherboard compatibility

  • With a front radiator, maximum graphics card length is reduced by the radiator thickness
