All language subtitles for Fractal Design Releases the new Define 7! (inglés_ASR)

hello everybody this is Chris with

overclockers Club today we've got

something new from fractal design this

is the latest addition to the defined

series of cases this is the defined

seven and along with that I'm going to

be showing off this Celsius s 36

all-in-one triple fan cooler so let's

get it out of the box so the first step

to getting it out of the box is getting

the box open ah some nice heavy

styrofoam endcaps plastic bag accessory

box I like the pattern printed on the

inside of the box and there is the new

define seven out of the box hold the

plastic bag off and pull the protective

front plastic off rip pull the door open

kind of gave away what I was going to

show next so I guess we'll just go

straight to that so the front of the

case here what I like about it you have

this nice smooth appearance and I don't

know how well the camera can pick up

that it's like a brushed aluminum very

dark finish but anyway what I like about

this not many cases have a bay for your

optical drive not like they once had

because not too long ago you could get

cases where as almost the entire front

panel was optical drive bays and it's

almost hard to find a case now that has

an optical drive bay so that's a nice

feature to sort of have sort of tucked

away at the top there it blends in with

the rest of the case or the rest of the

front venting section there I should say

and something else I noticed look at

those hinges actual metal hinges and

they're detected so that when the door

swings all the way open the door stays

open and you get anywhere in the mid

part here and they sort of

swing the door closed there's a little

bit of spring force and the door is held

closed by magnets although you can't see

them but I know they're there because I

can take this little metal screwdriver

and put it right there

so I know I got a magnet there and

there's one just below right there and

same thing what right there yet up at

the top another one there and even on

the hinge side there's a magnet there

one below and I'm sure the bottom here

is the same yep so that's kind of cool

that the door is held closed by magnets

and it appears that notch

sort of hiding behind there is what

looks like a hard drive activity light

we'll see that when we get to system all

built up now something else to point out

here is this sound deadening front panel

so any fan noise that comes through that

front panel there is going to be quickly

absorbed by that panel now the other

thing is there are fans here behind that

what you want to do is put your thumb on

this piece here and push while you're

pulling with your fingers and that

releases your front filter panel right

there

and it has a fine mesh filter there and

the reason I say be careful same thing

with the bottom filter panel here this

pulls out even when the doors closed and

I like the way this is good and smooth

because what happens or what can happen

is while you are trying to pull this out

if it's really stiff it'll start to pull

a little bit and then all sudden it

releases panel shoots out and you end up

with a big dust cloud that you're trying

to basically keep contained to your

filter so you can clean it away from the

case and all you do is stir up dust that

gets sucked right back in if it's

running and while we're still talking

about the front door area here it does

have a couple of rubber bumpers right

there so when you close it it has a nice

quiet sound and not a jarring thump when

it closes and the two front fans there

are 140 millimeter fans are both 1,000

rpm fans and if you look at the bottom

there is room there for a third fan but

we'll get into how the case is

configured here a little later and in

case you are wondering where does that

fresh hair get into the case when the

front door is closed well it's right

here on a very generously vented section

there on both sides of the case there

should be no problem with fresh air

being drawn in through that because

that's open from top to bottom on both

sides now another cool thing about this

case is that it is available in several

configurations you can see this one is

black with a white interior and a

tempered glass side panel and this one

is the clear tinting as they call it

which I can get that protective coating

off there we go

static wants to pull it right back on

but anyway this is more of a clear glass

panel sometimes attendant can be so dark

you almost can't see what's going on

inside the case and to give you an idea

of all the different configurations

there's black solid black tempered glass

with light tint tempered glass with dark

tint black with white solid which you

would have solid side panels there's

black with white tempered glass clear

tent white with solid white with

tempered glass clear to gray solid great

with tempered glass light tint and then

there's an XL case

that comes in three different

configurations there you can see black

solid black with the tempered glass

light tint and dark tint and another

thing I like about this case it's around

19 inches tall and about nine and a half

inches wide which is a little bit on the

wide side compared to most cases but

what that translates to is more room

here on this side of the case next to

these vertical slots and where that's

important is if you try to do a vertical

graphics card installation which I will

show a little later this gives you more

room between the graphics card and the

side panel here to get air into your

graphics card which is important and

also we've got a little extra depth here

for cable management behind the

motherboard tray that's one of my

complaints on a lot of cases that

there's just so little space behind the

motherboard tray for cable routing that

when you go to put the side panel on

it's bulging out from all the cables

particularly if you don't have a fully

modular power supply so anyway down here

at the bottom this is another feature

that I really like you've got this

secondary mounting bracket here for your

power supply so your power supply can

come in from the back of the case rather

than having to sort of shuffle it in

from the side like you do on most cases

so you can attach this bracket to your

power supply shove your power supply in

that way it also makes it easy to change

your power supply if you need to and

looking at the top iö panel here and

we've got headphone and microphone jacks

next to each other reset button a Type C

USB connector or USB port power button a

couple of USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 ports and

if we look across the rest of the top

you see it is solid and smooth and it

has a very nice finish to it now if you

want to get more airflow that's a little

difficult with a solid piece but fractal

design has included a nice optional top

that you can change out that we'll see

here in just a little bit and looking

across the bottom of the case of course

this is the

removable filter panel of course this is

the front of the case and this is the

rear of the case but you have four nice

feet with a little rubber insert there

to keep from not only scratching up your

floor but to keep the case from sliding

around and it also helps to dampen any

vibrations that you might encounter and

then it even has a nice little serial

number tag there on the bottom the next

thing to do is take a look at the inside

and I have to remove this side glass

panel now usually there are a couple of

fasteners at the top and the bottom that

you have to take out or sometimes on

glass panels there'll be a fastener that

goes through the glass in each corner

and fractal uses a completely different

method here to attach the glass you'll

notice there are no fasteners visible

from the front really or the back so

what they do here they have this little

button here that you push I'll try to do

this with one hand and that releases the

glass panel and it tilts out and towards

you and if we look at the top there

there's a little I get to focus you know

a little ball and sock it actually a

little latch that connects the top panel

and we just lift it out now this has

been the protective plastic on the

inside to sol need to remove that now

looking at the inside of the case first

thing that stands out is the well

ventilated section above the power

supply there to allow air flow into that

section behind the shroud there for the

power supply and as far as motherboard

compatibility we go all the way from a

mini ITX to a micro ATX a standard ATX

and an e 80 x which is an extended ATX

so you pretty much cover about every

motherboard out there in the mainstream

world now I like these grommets up at

the top especially those are nice for

fishing your power cables through to

your CPU at the top of your motherboard

also for fishing your connectors through

for your fans if you put any fans in the

top section there we have a couple of

nice large sections there for all your

SATA cables going to the side your

motherboard we also have a grommet it

section here at the bottom for any

cables I want to come up that way and

then we have an opening here also for

cable access now on the right those are

the two large 140 millimeter front fans

and these two sections here are

removable depending upon your needs for

a radiator in the front which I'll get

those pulled out here in a little bit so

we can see that and then in the back

again there's a large 140 millimeter

rear exhaust fan and then the vertical

slots here for a graphics card that you

can mount vertically and to do that

you'll need one of these this is the

Flex VR c25 this is a special cable that

you would use to basically relocate in

your graphics card now these are sold

separately this does not come with the

case but basically this end here plugs

into your PCIe slot just like a graphics

card would so that would plug into your

motherboard and then the other end here

this end here would sit right in here

and that's what your graphics card

attaches to and of course the mechanical

mounts are over here when you take these

to block out plates out for your

graphics card if you want to mount it

there and I'll show that too

and looking at the back of the case here

the rear panel comes off the same way

the glass panel here does and you just

use this one touch button to detach it

and this is really nice then it just

tilts out and the glass panel I didn't

point it out but it uses these same tabs

that fit into some little slots so it

makes it so nice you just dropped those

tabs into the slots rock this forward

and it latches that is that is really

nice

just like that you can pop that off and

the whole back panel here is covered

with this sound-deadening material this

thing's got some weight to it but that

will help keep sound from traveling

around the back of the case now looking

back here of course it's white just like

the inside is painted but there's a

shroud here that pops off that allows

access to the harddrive cages here at

the bottom and this can be removed I'll

show that later well you got these nice

velcro straps and these plastic guides

for cable routing to keep that all clean

there's a multi bracket here this is

used to mount hard drives or a pump for

water cooling we've got two little

removable brackets here for two and a

half inch solid-state drives

so those whoops I pulled that fastener

out a little too far they're a couple

tabs that lock down into those slots and

actually supposed to stay on that

unscrewed it a little too hard there

anyway so that's what the back looks

like and the cables here you've got your

standard USB 3.0 all of your i/o

connectors your HD audio USB and then

your USB type-c connector right there

that goes into the motherboard the fans

at the front of the case are both three

pin and the fan at the rear of the case

is the connector for it it's also three

pin and then there's a four pin

connector and this is for the fan

controller and I'll talk about that in a

little more detail also but this is what

would plug to your motherboard to supply

control to the fan hub up here and then

to get power to that I'm sorry this is

the control this is the power this

connects to a SATA connector off of your

main power supply so if you're going to

use the fan hub you need to use these

two connectors there is the fractal

Nexus +2

fan hub in it is sort of a stretched-out

circuit board there that fits nicely

into that upper channel so that makes

your cable routing that much cleaner but

it allows you to control six three pin

fans as you can see there on the left

and up two three four pin pwm fans and

that is all tucked nicely up there at

the top of the case and now this entire

front panel I can show how that pops off

and I've already popped all but one of

the connectors loose ears this whole

thing comes off pretty easily something

I should have pointed out earlier is

that these hinges can be relocated to

the opposite side so your door can swing

open either left or right if you like

but this comes off very easily for

access to your fans so if you need to

remove your fans this is how you would

get to the screws that hold those on you

can see there's an additional third slot

there for a fan and this up here is

where your optical drive would mount if

you want to install one and now it's

time to see what's inside this box that

is included with the case these are your

accessories and the main one here is

your optional vented top and I'll show

you how that is easily interchangeable

and underneath here are your hard drive

trays and then your box of actually your

little hardware kit there with all of

your screws and fasteners for the

motherboard so what you do here if you

want the vented section is first you

have to pop the top one out and that's

pretty easy to do

so if we look at this this has the same

little ball detents here or a little

ball and socket type of attachment and

this just pops right off you just push

up and swing it around and that comes

right off very easy now the top panel

here has the sound deadening material so

if you want to go into like full stealth

mode

keep the case as quiet as you can you

would want to use the panel there with

the sound deadening if you want some

airflow and you're not quite as

concerned about the noise you would use

this panel and it has the same cutouts

there for everything so installing that

on top is really that easy four clicks

one at each corner and your vented panel

is now on top which you can easily see

so underneath this there is also a

filter panel right here and this you

pull it back it sort of locks into place

or you push it in and locks you pull it

back and unlocks and this lifts out you

he's got little catches right there

there are plastics you want to be a

little careful you don't snap them off

but anyway this is a mesh panel there

for dust collection so it's pretty

easily removed for cleaning and then the

other thing at the top here depending

upon if you want to put fans or not is

this top bracket here this is where your

fans would go or your radiator this is

optional optional fill port for a custom

cooling system another thing I want to

point out that I really like this entire

bracket on the top is removable there's

a screw right here and a screw right

there that I've already removed and this

thing just comes right out just like

that it's got a couple tabs here

actually three tabs go into some little

slots

and then you put a screws back in and

you're done this goes a long way towards

freeing up space when you're doing your

system belts that you can access your

components I've had other cases that

have the top that's removable like that

and it is so nice during the system

build so let's say you still have an

optical drive and you just can't part

with it well that's fine because the

defined seven has you covered

so I already took out the top fan that

was in here I just set it off to the

side for now and there's this bracket

right here they're two screws I already

took the screws out see you slide this

bracket out it comes out like that and

you flip it over and you slide it back

in like that and then you put the screws

back in to hold the bracket in place

which is pretty easy to do

and then you take your front panel and

you open it up and you pop out the cover

here that goes in the optical drive bay

that pops out like that and then when

you put the front cover back on and open

it up now your optical drive bay can be

filled up with your up to contrive and

then you've got whoops you got some

screws over here that secure the optical

drive in there keep it from flopping

around that gives you an idea of how to

install the optical drive and the hard

drive cage is held in with four screws

right there

the first tune of the second tune you

can see there in some slots you can

actually slide that hard drive cage

around a little bit or you can actually

move it toward the back of the case

closer to the power supply you can see

how far those slots go or you can take

the hard drive cage out all together

with the screws out again you can slide

that hard drive cage around or if you

want to take it out you take at least

the bottom fan out so that you can get

these two little plastic panels out in

this first panel is really in there for

if you want to put a liquid-cooled

radiator in there so you need some

clearance for the radiator and then the

second panel here when these both come

out this allow you to take the hard

drive cage there we go

completely out and if you're wondering

what's behind the door this little door

opens up and these are all of the

mounting locations for your hard drive

trays now this entire section here moves

to the front and I'll show that here

next most people when they do a system

build

we'll probably only use a couple of

solid state drives and if you leave the

hard drive cage in there you might use a

couple more solid states or a couple

more three-and-a-half inch drives for

your system unless you and that involves

moving this panel to the front and what

you do is there's a screw here screw on

top and then there are three more screws

across the front so you have to pull the

front fascia off get the fans out of the

way and then this panel will move to the

front

[Music]

now this s 36 I already took the bag off

of the radiator there I'm not going to

spend a lot of time going over the

features and functions of this because

I'll be reviewing this in its own

separate reviews so be on the lookout

for that so for now I'm just going to

get this installed so we can see what it

looks like in the top and in the front

and the S 36

comes with factory applied thermal paste

look at that now the radiator is

installed and that is a 360 mm meter

radiator in the front the bottom of the

radiator is as far down as it can go and

the only thing the top screw holes here

are off just a little bit I couldn't get

the screws in there easily not really a

showstopper but with a little work I

might be able to figure out why it's not

quite going down anyway so the front

radiator allows the pump just sort of

sit in there like that I was trying to

do sort of a test fit a head of time to

make sure everything well something I

want to show off here is the ability to

install a vertical graphics card and you

use this special cable here this is the

Flex VR c25 available from fractal you

can find these on Amazon for around $45

keep your eyes out you might find a deal

but what you do is you take the block

off plates or the knockouts here out

first and this base actually comes with

should see the installation comes with a

couple of standoffs these little studs

and a couple of screws

so the first thing you do and in this

case it has the threaded holes so that

you can install the standoffs and I have

this little branch here to sort of snug

those out that's a five millimeter

branch in case anyone is wondering and

then the next thing is to use the screws

alright so I got the second screw in so

this is now mounted to the case on top

of the two standoffs now this little

plate here that slides up and down I'm

actually going to remove that because I

think I need a little more clearance to

get the graphics card in there properly

because there are a few things you have

to sort of get lined up to make

everything fit and there we go so that

seats into the PCIe slot and then put

this plate back in there we go

so there

now the graphics card is installed

vertically I can plug this into the PCIe

slot that is on board and that's it you

are ready to go my original plan when

reviewing that define seven was to show

off the Celsius s 36 in the case and I

was able to do that and at the very last

moment I wasn't sure if this is going to

arrive or not but we have a nice power

supply here also from fractal design the

ion plus 660 P so I'm going to go ahead

and get that installed I have the

external bracket from the define seven

here attached to the fractal power

supply now I'll be reviewing the power

supply just like the s 36 cooler in

separate review so I'm not going to go

into a lot of detail but this is a fully

modular power supply so you have the

ability to use only the cables that you

need which keeps your cable routing to a

minimum and there's a nice little switch

here for 0 rpm basically what that does

is it turns the fan off so you only use

the fan when things get warm enough to

require the fan and if not you can turn

it off that way your fan will run at

least in an idle mode all the time so

now I can get this installed in the back

of the case alright so let me get into

the cable goody bag here for the power

supply so I'll need the main input cable

to the power supply this is a this is a

PCIe cable so I'll need that for the

graphics card here is a SATA power cable

need that for the hard drive this is the

main 24 pin connector for the

motherboard

and let's see there should be okay

here's one for the CPU supplies power to

the CPU on the motherboard and that's

really it there's another SATA

another SATA here's another graphics

card or PCIe and then molex so I don't

need anything else and it's also good

even on a modular power supply I found

out that it's really hard to get these

plugged in when they're in the case so I

like to select the cables and get them

plugged into the power supply first and

then just fish all the cables in through

the back just makes life a little bit

easier so I'll get these all connected

and I power it back up and there's the

power supply all installed a little hard

to tell

especially when I get the side cover on

there but you can always check out the

rear of the case and you can tell what

power supply you got which brings me

back to these shrouds here that a lot of

cases have the full PSU shroud there

which really is nice as far as cable

management

it makes your case build much cleaner so

I do like it from that perspective but

if you have a really nice power supply

that you want to show off you probably

can't do that so you got to take the

good with the bad so now it is time to

get the covers on and let me tell you

they need to make this an Olympic event

because I've never seen a system that is

so fast and easy to go on you line up

these tabs again with the slots drop it

in two clicks

that panel is on and you are done the

back panel which is always one that I

struggle with trying to get cables

smashed into a small space you drop the

slots in tabs into slots to clicks you

are done the filter panel for the top

just line those up drop it in quick push

top panel again four clicks two at the

back two at the front and you are done

so I have the fans cranked up now these

are the fans that come with the Celsius

s 36 that are in the front of the case

here behind the panel and I have my

trusty decibel meter here of course when

there's nothing happening it's no

surprise that the decibels will be the

lowest so we really want to look at this

when the fans are all running the system

build is just about finished this is the

Celsius s 36 you can see this little

sleeve ring as control here you can

shift between two modes there's Auto and

PWM one thing you don't notice are a lot

of extra fan cables running around and

that's because they're actually

integrated into one of these it's hard

to tell which one but they're integrated

into one of these sleeves on the coolant

line and it goes all the way up here to

the top of the pump and there's a

circuit board right there and it has all

of the sockets there that you can plug

your radiator fans into so that goes a

long way towards removing cable clutter

and looking at the backside of the case

this is probably one of the nicest cases

I've had with regard to cable management

this little shroud here really goes a

long way towards keeping the cable

clutter sort of out of view if you're

using a fully modular power supply cable

clutter really isn't that big of a deal

anyway

and for some general thermal testing I

try to keep the room around 66 degrees

Fahrenheit this time of the year

my overclock is 4.2 gigahertz and I'm

hovering somewhere between 70 and 72

degrees Celsius and that is all

maintained with a single rear 140

millimeter case fan and the 3 120

millimeter fans that come with the

Celsius s 36 course you can't see the

fans are behind the radiator but you

have plenty of room for more fans hard

to see what's a reflection there but you

can put more fans in the top of the case

you can even put fans in the bottom of

the case to really maximize your airflow

but the current setup the way it is

right now I would be perfectly content

with running it that way knowing that

I'm going to be able to keep everything

reasonably cool and now it's time to do

a little thermal imaging just walk

around with the thermal camera now I

have the overclock cranked up 4.2

gigahertz on the 4770k CPU so this just

sort of shows you where the heat is

concentrated and the color differential

there just shows you that there's a

difference in temperature it doesn't

really tell you what the temperature is

and when I open the front panel here

and definitely see where the intake air

is being drawn in I'll pull the panel

out there you can see the radiator and

it is distinct which side the hot

coolant is coming in on which will be

the top left and then as you go down you

can see it gets cooler cool it makes a

turn the bottom and then comes back up

and then looking at the back of the case

now you get a lot of reflection here on

the side glass so that doesn't really

tell you a lot but of course there's the

rear exhaust fan graphics card and power

supply now I want to show what the

radiator looks like in the top of the

case but before I do that I went ahead

and took all the hard drive cages out

and then relocated this panel to the

back of the case which is the I guess I

can call it the factory layout and then

I put this low cover back in and left

the front cover out so that is of course

made for clearance for a front radiator

but that is the 360 millimeter front

radiator ton of space in there and now

I'll get it installed to the top and now

the radiator is installed and the top of

the case and it fits quite well a little

more light in there and I put the case

fans back in there too in their original

location and I just realized I was in

such a hurry to get that radiator in the

top that I had the fans in the wrong

orientation they were pulling air from

the top of the case outside and pushing

it into the case so I flipped the fans

over so now they are pulling air from

inside the case and pushing it out the

top and with the radiator mounted in the

top with the same 4.2 gigahertz

overclock and the same prime95 stressing

the CPU I am getting roughly the same

temperatures in the same behavior as

when the radiator was mounted in the

front which is not a huge surprise now I

did take the vent are the filter panel

out of the top to remove some of the

restriction

making sure there so that's just

directly exhausting from the radiator

right out the top I'm not too worried

about dust getting in when there's air

blowing out so I think I'm okay with it

operating that way and I want to go over

some things I haven't really talked

about yet in detail one is the maximum

height of an air CPU cooler that's a

hundred and eighty five millimeters so

you've got tons of room in there for

almost any air CPU cooler you can find I

don't know too many there are over a

hundred and eighty five millimeters in

height fan positions if you're going to

put an optical drive up here that limits

a little bit of your fan positions but

you can get a hundred and forty

millimeter fans of course you've got one

right there already but you can put two

140 millimeter fans and the top you can

put two 140 millimeter fans middle and

bottom and then in the very bottom of

the case on the floor of the case you

can put two 140 millimeter fans 120 s

it's really the same arrangement except

you can get three 120 millimeter fans in

front when you're still using an optical

drive and when you don't use an optical

drive it's really three three two so

it's either three 140 s three 140 s or

three 120 s three 120 s and then two of

whatever size you want to use down here

so those are your options for fan

coverage as for liquid cooling if you

don't use the optical drive if you leave

that open up there at the top pretty

much the sky's the limit you can go up

to a 420 millimeter radiator in the top

which is really going into end on the

top there and the front as I already

demonstrated you can go up to 360

millimeters on that into a 282 41 40 120

which is pretty much the same in the top

now if you're going to put a radiator in

the bottom you do have that ability you

can go up to a 280 millimeter radiator

in the floor of the case you can also

put a 240 or 140 in a 120 and of course

if you put any radiators in the bottom

of the case you'll have to take the hard

drive cage out alright so glancing

through the manual if you want to do a

water reservoir bill we use this little

multi bracket here one is included you

can use up to two more in the case these

are very versatile you can mount the

pump and reservoir for a custom water

loop there if you'd like and then it

mounts to the floor of the case so it

would mount right there on top of that

plate with the four little holes that's

where that bracket would go and you can

see that you can integrate a second

radiator because of the fittings on this

s 36 if that's the one you use you can

actually mount a second radiator in

there with your custom water loop and

then over here you can sort of see the

hard drive configuration for that and

this is where you would use the back of

that plate for another hard drive and

then your two solid state drives go

there so that would be one way to do a

water reservoir bill of course there

many variations even on that now the

next one is an optical drive build so

now your system is a little more

restricted your optical drive goes up

there you can see you got a radiator

hard drives and now you're shorter

reservoir and pump still mount to the

multi bracket but now they go on the

floor of the case and then looking at a

server build and this is where things

really get interesting because you can

use these little brackets here to

actually mount hard drives in the top of

the case so you won't be putting any

radiators up there if you do that but if

you're looking for the ultimate in hard

drive storage space that's what you

would do and then you can

couple of drives there on the floor of

the case actually on the power supply

shroud below the graphics card and over

here you can see the whole Tower of hard

drives along with two more hard drives

in the hard drive cage another hard

drive on the floor of the case and then

your two solid-state drives there so you

can really pack this case full of hard

drives if you want to buy a few more

brackets and I talked about this at the

beginning of the review but these are

all the different variations so you've

got solid panels you've got the clear

glass you've got the smoked glass and

then you've got a solid white case with

a solid panel with glass panel you've

got the black and white which is what my

review case is with the clear tinted

glass and then there's also a gray

version available pricing since there

are many different variations the

pricing ranges from about a hundred and

fifty nine US dollars up to two hundred

and nine for the define XL which is a

slightly larger version of this case it

gives you even more hard drive space but

this particular case the black with the

white and the clear glass is 169 US

dollars and if you like this defined

seven but you think you might like the

defined 7 XL a little more because of

the space this is a nice comparison

showing you the difference so you can

see there the differences between the

two they are very similar they share

most of their specs and here's a second

page that shows you again the difference

between the two and the fans that are

used in this case from the factory or

the dynamic X to GP 14 and those are the

specs for the fans

now zoom in one last time on my computer

screen here the define are six which has

been out for a while I've never seen

this case so I can't really comment

other than just comparing the specs so

to save you some trouble from scrolling

back and forth between screens all the

information here comparing the seven

six is right here so you can see what

makes the seven so special and there's

one more screen here that has the specs

you can compare those yourself the

defined seven is not a bad looking case

but it doesn't really pop it doesn't

really jump out and grab your attention

it looks about the same as any other

case this size and this shape and

there's nothing wrong with that because

the defined seven is not out to win a

beauty contest what it delivers is a set

of functions and features that are hard

to find in any other case you'd have to

buy two or three cases to get the

feature set that you get here now some

of the things that stand out to me are

the optional top the vented panel here

that you can swap out here with the one

that comes on the case which is the

sound deadening solid panel so if you

want to go full stealth mode you can use

that one but if you're looking for

airflow you'll definitely want to use

the vented top panel the other thing

that's nice is the USB type-c port there

so if you have a device that uses that

you're covered opening the front door

there are several things here that I

like the sound deadening the robust

metal hinges that can be swapped to the

opposite sides so that you can open the

door left to right or right to left the

built-in magnets that help keep the door

closed the ability or the option to use

a an optical drive there the way this

front vented filter panel can be easily

removed the way that the bottom filter

panel can be easily removed for cleaning

and returned a little rubber dampers

there that make the door closing nice

and quiet oh here's the thing I really

like their method of attaching the side

and top panels it's amazing it's so nice

it's so precise no more bulging back

panels when you're trying to juggle the

side and get it closed and that leads me

to the other thing I really like here

and that's the extra width that you get

with this case

you get the width here especially on the

vertical graphics card amount you have

this extra space so your graphics card

isn't matched up against the glass you

have the extra cable routing space back

here which I really like I really like

the detachable power supply bracket

there that lets you remove the power

supply straight out the back of the case

that is a nice little feature and the

big thing beside the removable panels

really is the ability to convert this

over to a monster storage case you can

just pack this thing full of hard drives

and of course the ability to put a fan

and a radiator pretty much anywhere in

the case whenever possible I try to show

off or highlight multiple products from

the same manufacturers that's why I

tried to show off the Celsius s 36 and

the ion +6 60p in the define seven I

know the case really could care less

who's cooler or whose power supply is in

it but still there are people who are

brand loyal who really like to see that

so try to do that whenever I can anyway

back to the define seven here I think

it's a great case it really knocks the

ball out of the park from a feature set

that is really hard to beat it's not as

flashy as a lot of gaming cases are but

like I said that's just fine so I'm

going to give this the overclockers club

Editors Choice Award and look for

reviews on the Celsius s 36 and the ion

plus 660 P separately I'll have those

reviews up before long this is Chris
