Introduction

I would like to thank Fractal for supplying the review sample.


It has been a good decade in which we have seen six R-Series generations of cases from Fractal Design. Last year marked their major rebrand during which they not only changed their logo, but dropped the "Design" in the name. With the Define 7 we are reviewing here, the "R" is gone as well, giving us the 7th generation of the successful lineage of enclosures. Available in four different base variants and both black and white, the Fractal Define 7 is the first core hero product to be released after that clean rebrand.

Specifications

Packaging

Fractal has gone through a big rebranding effort in recent times, and the Define 7 is clearly the first hero product with the visual updates. The package reflects their new design language. On the front is an image of the chassis, while the back holds a blow-up diagram. Both sides of the package are black and hold very little useful elements besides a sticker to let you know which variant you will be getting.


Even the insides of the box come with plenty of Fractal branding. Two thick Styrofoam spacers hold the chassis in place while a plastic bag keeps scratches and fingerprints away.
