okay so I didn't unbox him the other day at the fractal designs define our two computer case but now I've actually gone ahead and done a quick build inside it just to kind of get a feel for how easy it is to build inside how quiet it is because that's what everyone seem to want to know about it so first of all at the front I I mentioned in my unboxing that it lights up with a blue LED now we actually get to see what it looks like lit up still very clean and very plain-looking that's the only lighting on the case the door opens up where we can find inside the one I haven't installed any aftermarket fans or anything so it only has the one stock black-and-white fan and then I've installed one DVD drive for this particular demo sister and you can't really look through there and see the hard drives but that's okay alright so why don't we get this open here and I have not used their mod you vent feature because this is supposed to be a silent build that is how the case is targeted and marketed so I've left all of the noise deadening materials on the extra ventilation holes alright so I'm taking off that heavy side panel because it's got all of that sound deadening material inside so the inside of this case is actually really clever it did not take me long to do this build and I was able to do a very tidy job as you can see of the cable management so I'm not using a modular power supply I'm using their Tesla 650 watt power supply and I've used the included cable ties to tie up all of the unnecessary cables I'm running a GTX 275 and you can see I've still got about another inch and a half of space at the end to install potentially an even longer video card I'm using their grommeted cable routing holes in order to use the 24 pin power supply connector as well as to run a cable up to my optical drive up here and to run the eight pin connector up to the top of my motherboard now let me see what else I wanted to say but oh another cool thing that I did not mention about this case is it actually has a noise deadening material where you mount the power supply to the case so there's a little bit of foam in there and their power supplies actually include overly long screws so that you can attach them easily and leave enough space that you are going to take advantage of that annoys deadening another cool feature and this is kind of a why didn't anyone else think of it sort of thing there are extra holes on their harddrive mounting sleds you can see there's the four rubber rubberized holes for a normal hard drive and then there's actually four more and you can see that they've coded it here a is for three and a half inch B is for two and a half inch hard drive or SSD so you can see that I've installed in this case one SSD drive which is mounted just the same way a normal drive would be and then one three-and-a-half inch one terabyte Western Digital black drive so I thought that was one of one of the cleverer things about this particular chassis so thank you for checking out my little demo build here and the define our two case
