Fractal Define 7 Mini Black Solid Case - FD-C-DEF7M-01

Fractal Define 7 Mini Black Solid is a compact Mini Tower case, aimed at smaller but serious builds with Mini ITX, mATX and Mini-DTX boards. It features a solid panel without a window, so the focus is on acoustics and a clean, minimalist look, rather than an RGB show. Despite the small form factor, there is room for a graphics card up to 331 mm and a cooler up to 167 mm, which opens up options for more powerful configurations. The included fans and serious support for water cooling make the case very flexible for cooling in this size.

What you get

Inside, two fans are already installed – 1 x Dynamic X2 GP-14 at the front and 1 x Dynamic X2 GP-12 at the rear, so you have a basic airflow for the CPU and GPU right out of the box. If you want a more serious air build, you can fill the configuration with up to 7 x 120 mm or 4 x 140 mm fans. At the same time, support for radiators at the front, top, and rear allows you to switch to AIO water cooling – for example, 240/280 mm at the front and 240 mm at the top for a quieter system under load. With up to 2 x 3.5" and 4 x 2.5" bays, you can comfortably combine a large HDD for storage plus several SSDs for the OS and games, without wondering which one to sacrifice. The rich front I/O panel with USB Type-C, USB 3.0, and USB 2.0 gives you convenient access for flash drives, external drives, and peripherals, without having to look for ports at the back of the case.

It is suitable for quiet gaming and productivity builds in mATX/ITX format, as well as for people who want a lot of storage in a smaller footprint.
