In thie review, we’re benchmarking Fractal Design’s Meshify 2 vs. the Meshify C, Define S2 Meshify, Define R6, Define 7, and plenty of competitors, like the Cooler Master TD500, H500, be quiet! 500DX, Phanteks P400A, and more. There are a lot of high-performing airflow cases in the sub-$150 market right now, so Fractal is launching into a fiercely contested product category — but this is a strong warning shot to competitors nearby. Our benchmarks show an objective look at thermal performance, acoustics, noise-normalized thermals, build quality, cable management, and more. This gives us a good look at some of the best cases for PC gaming builds right now, especially budget PC builds that might be targeting the lower-end cases, because the Meshify 2 helps set an upper bound of what more money gets you.
