Fractal Design Arc Midi R2 w/ Window Dimensions
Please note that this case comes with a window on the left side panel.
I really like this case. It has very good airflow, and room for plenty of hard drives. The fans in this case are large (140mm), so they don't need to spin as fast, and therefore can be quieter. This is a great case for those looking for a quality case without a front door. Unlike the other Fractal Design cases, the Arc Midi cases do not come with noise dampening material built-in.
I really like the look of the Arc Midi. It has a clean design and the fan grilles provide some nice contrast. Internally, the Arc Midi is essentially the same as the Define R4, also from Fractal, with 2 5.25" expansion bays and vibration-dampening hard drive trays. However, the Arc Midi has a much more open design with a vented top and no front door. This improves airflow, but also means less noise dampening--something to keep in mind when selecting components.
Note: We have designed custom shipping materials for this case. Specially made foam and boxes provide superior protection during shipping! Click here for more details.
