Introduction


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


We have had to pleasure of reviewing the Core 3300 in the past and now get to take a look at the Core 2300. A slightly more compact version of the chassis, it sits rights in-between the larger 3X00 units and the smaller 1X00 variants. Here is what Fractal Design has to say about their chassis:
The Core 2300 is the compact ATX Mid Tower of the x3 Series that combines a clean, modern exterior design with great cooling and component compatibility. It comes with two pre-installed fans, and great radiator support for its size The case is equipped with two pre-installed 120mm fans and can support both 280mm and 240mm water cooling radiators. An innovative vertical hard drive bracket can fit a total of six drives - three 3.5" drives and three 2.5" drives. An additional 2.5" SSD mounting is available behind the power supply position. A beautiful build is easy to achieve with the black/white contrasted interior and well-designed cable routing capabilities
