The Arc Midi R2 is supplied in a sizable brown cardboard box which features a large black image of the case on the front. Our sample of the case was delivered inside an outer cardboard box for extra protection but we imagine this will vary depending where you purchase the case from.
Turning the box around reveals some further images of the case alongside a fairly detailed list of features. Inside the box, the case is sandwiched between two slabs of polystyrene to prevent it from being damaged during transit.
All of the accessories are supplied within a small black cardboard box which is slotted into one of the drive bays during transit. This consists predominantly of the screws required for installation.
Their cases are always very quiet which I rate highly. I would love them to make a £200 aluminum high end case though.
The only problem with high end aluminum cases is that Lian Li do them so well already and the market is small at that price. I think they deliver good cases at tight prices.
I’d rather se brushed steel. Many of Lian Li’s Al cases are so flimsy, and the metal itself has poor noise absobing properties. Anyway I hope Fractal Design sticks to the Arc series as far as designing for big water cooling applications. The Define series doesn’t need that imho.
Super content .
It does look quite similar to my Xigmatek Asgard Pro case.Atleast to me.Does anyone agree?
I’ve had this case for a couple of weeks. It’s great although fractal really need to improve their quality control. The box was sealed but the plastic covering the case and styrofoam were really dirty. Also a couple of other QC issues such as firment of fans (one not screwed in properly) and 5.25″ bay covers not lining up flush with the front bezel.
The stock fans are also pretty bad quality and have really bad ticking at any voltage, definitely not ‘near inaudible’ I replaced them right away.
