Fractal is launching their new Define 7 Compact today, a small ATX enclosure with the new design attributes that we saw with our initial Define 7 coverage. This is a replacement for the Define C in Fractal’s lineup, and offers a number of changes compared to that previous design. (I must give Fractal credit for the lovely lifestyle photo above.)

“The new Define 7 Compact takes the strongest features of the contemporary 7 Series design and places them in a conveniently compact frame. The versatile open layout of the case maximizes its potential as a high-efficiency compact mid tower with robust support for full-size ATX hardware and the capacity to cool it quietly.

Interchangeable top covers allow swapping between solid steel for full noise suppression or a ventilated cover for extra cooling. The top framework is fully removable for unprecedented ease of access to interior components, and five front ports (including one USB Type-C) leverage exterior connectivity to make the most of the case’s compact footprint.”
