    Related Questions and Answers

    Q: 1. Can the power supply Can the Power Supply be upgraded to a 500, 600 or 700W supply? If so, how much more?

    A: Yes, you should be able to swap it out.

    Q: 2. are the 5.25” bays front accessible? example: optical drive and usb front panel? Are they usable with a 280mm radiator on top?

    A: The Fractal Design Define 7 XL Full-Tower Case (Black), B&H # FRCDEF7X01, offers front access to the 5.25’’ bays; the door panel swings open from the right side. If both 5.25’’ bays are in use, it supports up to a 280mm radiator.

    Q: 3. Can this be used as a IP PTZ camera controller?

    A: The connection on the Logitech G Heavy Equipment Side Panel is USB 2.0, and it is not an IP controller. Here's an example of an IP controller you could use: the PTZOptics SuperJoy NDI|HX/IP & Serial PTZ Camera Joystick Controller (B&H # PTSUPERJOYG1).

    Q: 4. Is the interior white or is this the solid black interior with the light tinted glass side panel?

    A: This product appears as is. For all black including interior, please reference BH #FRCDEF7X03 • MFR #FD-C-DEF7X-03.

    Q: 5. Is it compatible with Blackmagic Design ATEM 4 M/E Constellation HD? MFR #SWATEMSCN2/1ME4/HD Thanks

    A: Yes, the Blackmagic Design ATEM 2 M/E Advanced Panel can be used with the Blackmagic Design ATEM 4 M/E Constellation HD Live Production Switcher (2 RU). You will need to switch between the M/E that you are controlling via the dedicated buttons on the right side of each M/E row.

    Q: 6. Is the joystick 4-way or 8-way?

    A: This is not a typical joystick with forward, back, left, right motion. It is a realistic front loader stick. The loader stick controls vertical, horizontal, and twist axes, while a mode switch on top of the stick doubles those commands, giving you six axes.

    Q: 7. So how do u connect cameras to it. No SDI or HDMI

    A: You do not connect the cameras directly to the Blackmagic Design ATEM 2 M/E Advanced Panel. You connect the Blackmagic Design ATEM M/E Production switcher to the M/E Advanced Panel via a ethernet cable. The cameras would be connected to the M/E Production switcher.

    Q: 8. Will this fit a 3090ti? Looking for the smallest form factor case possible for that card for under my TV

    A: The Fractal Design Terra Mini-ITX Small Form Factor PC Case (Graphite) has 3 full height expansion slots, you would have to cross reference the available space with the space required by your 3090 Ti GPU to be sure of compatibility. Most 3090 Ti GPUs would fit in the Fractal Design Terra Mini-ITX Small Form Factor PC Case (Graphite).

    Q: 9. Does this case have wheels?

    A: This case does not have wheels.

    Q: 10. What is the maximum CPU cooler height?

    A: The recommend height would be 6.2" / 157.48 mm. That's to allow for a small amount of overhead so you are not touching the other side of the case.

    ] Easy case to build in with great cable management and airflow. Temps have been excellent in this case, came with 3 fans too!

    [Bottom] I used this case in a build for a friend of mine, when I'd previously used the non-XL for my own build. This version is essentially the same case upscaled, adding additional space in the front and above the motherboard, plus some additional cable management room. This room makes it much, much easier to work in. It also makes mounting a radiator at the top less of a pain, and the additional space makes mounting the side panel fans above the GPU very easy. I also like the aesthetics of the case, but that's obviously personal preference.

    [7x Full Height] I found this case at microcenter forever ago and had my heart set on this case for my pc upgrade and once I unboxed it after it arrived, I knew i made the right choice. It was also cheaper on B&H than any of the other websites I checked and it shipped and arrived within a day after i ordered it, so that was also a big plus.

    [Yes] Great case! Looks great, great airflow, and super easy to work in.

    [7x Full Height] Fractal has done it again. The design, finish and accents are all immaculate. The wood finish is beautiful and the brass colored ports and power button are a nice touch. The icing on the cake is that this beautiful case also functions quite well and has zero issues providing sufficient cooling for a Ryzen 9 5950X and RTX3080.

    [2x 2.5/3.5"
    ] This is one of the most aesthetically pleasing cases on the market. If you don't like the design, don't buy it. If you do like it, get it before its gone. The walnut matches my desk and cabinet well, and it is real wood not laminate or plastic. The metal panels look as expected, and how can you not appreciate accents like gold buttons and feet and the leather handle on the top rear of the case. The materials used seem durable enough without being heavy or hard to work with.


    The regular sized case would have been big enough to fit the parts I am putting in it, but I got the XL so I can use this down the road if/when gpus get even longer. Easy to take apart, plenty of room, and I am excited to build in it.


    Shipping was quick (placed on Tuesday night, received Thursday morning) through B&H and the product came assembled and securely packaged. It was the easiest unboxing experience ever.

    [Yes] This case is a head Turner from looks alone. The walnut finish is great!

    The mechanics of the case are the true selling point. Extremely modular. All the panels come off, there are plenty of trays. It's easy to fit a full ATX and N15 cooler in the case.

    USB-C on the top! Amazing!

    [Bottom, Front] Sharp styling makes this case stand out. Roomy enough to accommodate most GPUs. PWM case fans are quiet enough to leave them in. Loud when they spin up. My use case is silent operation under typical workloads, which I was worried about but am completely satisfied with.
    Easy to route cables. Am quite pleased with my purchase!
