I remember when the first define was released. It was like a cheaper version of Antec 183. How far they've come!

I pretty much only use Fractal cases. I have a Define R4 in white, Meshify C in white, and a Torrent Compact in black.. well it’s mostly glass I guess :D

I've always been a fan of clean, understated design.

Before they came around I was using a Silverstone FT01 and a modded Antec P180 Mini.
Since then I've had a Define Mini, Arc Mini, Meshify C and Meshify II Compact.

So long as they just keep doing what they're doing I'm good :)

You should - a bad CEO will definitely meddle in Engineering matters so as to "better" things that are already working right.

I agree to disagree. On the consumer level, you need not to know the inner workings of a company or their staff. What matters is their stuff.

Rip fractal. Sales people have to much decision creep as is in the tech industry.

Ideally, sure. In the real world - look what happened to Artesian Builds.

What happened at Artesian Builds is exactly what should've happened.

Yeah, to the CEO. But what about the staff of the east coast factory? They did their job right, but the company still went down because of Katz.

People who do their job right will always have a place to go in situations like this.

If I'm not mistaken the exact same people have started a new company right there and then doing almost exactly the same as before.
