Fractal Design Define XL R2 Review

Henry Butt June 30, 2013 Cases, Featured Announcement

The Define XL R2 is supplied in a sizable brown cardboard box which reflects the large size of the case within.  The front of the box features a large black image of the case which gives you an idea of the design before opening.

Turning the box around reveals more images alongside a list of the key features of the case.  Inside the box, the case is sandwiched between two slabs of polystyrene for protection.  Our sample of the case was supplied inside an additional box for protection during transit but we imagine that this will only be the case with certain retailers.

The accessories are supplied in a black cardboard box which is tucked into one of the drive bays inside the case.  These consist predominantly of screws for installation.

    I took delivery of my XL R2 case yesterday. One thing I was in awe of is it’s sheer size. It dwarves my old CM 690 II Advanced based system, being about 3″ taller and 1″ wider. Build quality was brilliant, with only one (important) complaint. The supplied motherboard stand-offs were 6.5mm high, should be 8.5mm so the PCIe cards can sit in their slots properly. A quick enquiry led to the correct ones being sent out with a bonus fan for my troubles. I used washers in the meantime to get my system up and running. Apart from that one small issue, I would highly recommend the case (or it’s smaller brother the R4)
