Whether you’re building a dual-CPU rig, need tons of drive space, or just have big hands, get the space you crave with the Define 7 XL Full-Tower Case in black from Fractal Design. Intended for space-hungry builds, this full tower supports EE-ATX, E-ATX, ATX, micro-ATX, mini-ITX, SSI EEB, and SSI CEB motherboards. In addition to two 5.25″ optical drive mounts, this flexible case also comes with eight 2.5/3.5″ drive bays that can be installed in 18 different configurations. Two dedicated 2.5″ drive mounts are also included, with five total possible positions. Nine expansion slots offer ample room for adapter cards, and another three vertical slots can be used with the optional Fractal Flex VRC-25 PCIe riser to install side-mounted GPUs. Using a storage layout, users can fit GPUs up to 14.13″, while using an open layout with or without a front fan can provide room for GPUs up to 20.63 or 21.61″, respectively. With the HDD cages installed, PSUs up to 9.84″ are supported, as are CPU coolers up to 7.28″ in height.
This case comes with three preinstalled 140mm Dynamic X2 GP-14 fans and mounting positions for up another six 140mm fans, or up to eleven 120mm fans. Nylon filters at the top, bottom, and front of the case reduce dust buildup and assist in keeping components cool. Users can also install liquid-cooling systems in the Define 7 XL. Radiators up to 480mm can be fitted to the front or top of the case, while the bottom and rear of the case can fit radiators up to 280 and 120mm, respectively.
Featuring sound-dampening materials, the Fractal Design Define 7 XL has a steel frame and side panels. Fractal’s ModuVent top panel allows users to optimize the case for increased airflow or reduced operational noise, and the top and side panels can all be removed for access to the inside of the case. The front panel also opens, featuring a hinged design and magnetic latching mechanism. An I/O port is also present on the front panel, providing you with two USB 3.1 Gen 1 and two USB 2.0 Type-A ports, as well as a USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C port with power delivery. Separate 3.5mm ports for audio input and output are also incorporated into the front panel.

All the screw holes line up perfectly for the many possible modifications. The sides, top and front easily pop off for access.

Ive built quite a few pcs, and this has been one of my favorite cases. Lots of room and options.

Solid build, highly customizable, easy to install

Best Full Tower Case I have ever worked with. More than enough room and design configurations to work with any motherboard.

I have found the following caveats while building a system with this case: -Dealing with the power supply cables is very difficult, because the shroud that covers the entire bottom part of the case is not removable as far as I could tell. This made connecting the cables to the back of the power supply very difficult as there was not much room for my hands. -Cabling for the hard drives installed in the bottom of the case was a pain. I supposed it’s the price to be paid for tucking the drives in such a location. Surely the Swedes could have figured out some slick way to make things easier still… -There seems to be a tolerance issue with the rear frame where the expansion cards are bolted to, as I had to press very hard on it in order to line up the screw holes to the corresponding holes in the video card bracket. I know that I placed the motherboard properly, because one of the standoffs is actually a stud that acts as a locator. Therefore, the build quality of this particular example must be to blame. And that’s a shame. -There is not much room for containing the cable build-up of a moderately equipped system inside the back panel. As a result, the panel is pushing against the lump inside and not able to fully sit flush. For now this has not resulted in rattling, but time will tell for sure, as many cases loosen up over time… Overall the case looks very nice, appears to flow a lot of air, and has a ton of room for any liquid cooling one may wish to install. The problem I have is that the basics of a good case appear to have been compromised.

Bought the XL to replace the regular D7 to fit a 420 radiator. Shipping was fast. First check, one of the case door pins is damaged, probably during shipping. Pictures of how it should be vs the damaged pin. It’s not a big deal. Fixable. Happy with purchase. Waiting for more parts before rebuilding my server.

This is a great case with lots of room for all your components. The modular design makes it very easy to customize. Tons of room for graphics cards, SSDs cooling and the power supply. My only complaint is some of the screws (hard drive cages) are very tight and difficult to remove. That’s the only reason I didn’t give 5 stars. I highly recommend this case, it’s well worth the money.

Great quality combined with a Swiss Army Knife ‘flex’ design. Big enough for the largest motherboard. Great water cooling possibilities. Using it with the AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 3975WX 3.5 GHz 32-Core sWRX8 Processor on the ASUS Pro WS WRX80E-Sage SE WIFI sWRX8 E-ATX Motherboard. Did have to modify the Fractal back panel to handle the flow of wiring. No problem, because of the space inside the case, it gave me plenty of room to add my own design ideas. The Fractal Design provides plenty of possibilities to develop YOUR OWN DESIGN.
