wait guys we're here the fractal design incompetent when T 13 we're going to be looking at two new cases they've just announced the first one is the fractal design arc ex-l continues on with sort of the similar the internal design and as well as external just slightly over oversized case here supports for XL ATX motherboard so you know we have great water cooling support the top triple radiator plenty of fan configurations if you do want to install 240 millimeter at the top it is offset slightly towards the side panel so you have a little bit more clearance there if you do have a North heatsink weather for your motherboard slightly higher and an exhaust fans very fairly straight forward here coming to the hard drive cage this one here has been repositioned because as you can see there is the push and pull water cooling configuration set up in this case so in the default position the hard drive cage will be placed here there'll be another removable smaller hard drive cage and the top exactly what we've been seeing from practical design great internal configurations that support for water cooling and pull the top and the front has excellent airflow as well and the side panel that will be installed here also will feature a tinted acrylic window that will show off your internals now coming out to the back the cable management here as you can see is absolutely amazing for a case full tower of course so we have lots of space for all your cables one cool addition is they've finally added the SSD bracket so no longer do you have to remove the motherboard to install these excellent brackets remove them with schools install your SSDs as you can see gramma rubber grommets fairly straightforward plenty of Kabletown notches and overall lots of room for any of your cable needs and so coming to the front we have similar aluminum looking front panel it's actually plastic so minimizing on the cost thus filters on here on every intake over here and on the top is also a dust filter dual front intake fans so overall a very excellent full tower case from fractal design lots of space lots of airflow and water cooling options lots of hardware options as well modular hard drive which can you remove and accommodate for water cooling and also the optical drive will support for optical drive so the second case that they've releasing this year from practical design is the arc mini are two now it takes on the same concept from the original our committee the arc midi lots of our tools and middies the minis very complicated but this is a one pretty cool case because it's a micro ATX and mini ITX capability but check out how thick of ready you can fit both on the top and on the side while still having so much space to put any of your vertical in components 360 millimeters support radiator for the top if you hundred forty millimeter radiator on us on the front here the for the front panel now that's quite impressive for a micro ATX and mini ITX case as you can see it has can still support plenty of hardware inside all your water cooling components a monster GPU in there as well and bottom intake fan they can be installed as well so a pretty plenty of features here integrated into such a small package so coming onto the back again we see these SSD editions it's an excellent choice from fractal design to put these on there because it's quite a hassle to have to remove the motherboard to install these and this is one of the one of the complaints that we had while reviewing the previous revisions of the case and the one thing though of course as you can see the CPU cutout is fairly small this will definitely be an issue with this particular motherboard cable management as you can see has been very tidy for the for this computer and working fractal design cases it's been pretty seamless all their cable management rubber grommets plenty of Kabletown notches and the most important is plenty of room for all your cable mess so this is it for fractal design we have two new cases the arc excel and the arc mini are two
