Not long after the 2016 release of their immensely popular Define C case, Fractal Design revealed both MicroATX and tempered glass versions of that chassis. If you wish, you can look over Guru3D's review of the original Define C here. We liked the chassis, for sure, and I'll admit I have a major soft spot for Fractal Design's entire visual aesthetic. The ATX mid-tower Meshify C, however, was the first in a line of cases marked as a return to 'airflow' orientated designs, sporting a very funky tessellated mesh front panel. This natural continuation, the MicroATX version of the original case, continues the traditions of it's bigger brother and... cousins? Tempered glass, high airflow, compact design, and full sized ATX PSU support, what's not to like?

Like the full-sized Meshify C, the micro version comes with two pre-installed 120mm fans. There are further options to mount another 120mm fan here, or 2x 140mm units. The top allows 2x 120mm fans (or a 240mm radiator), and the rear slot - as seems to be traditional in all but the largest cases - allows for a single 120mm radiator, although this is where the second pre-installed fan sits. Although this is a Fractal case, the presence of their top mounted ModuVent cover is absent. The Meshify cases are built for airflow, and where there was a solid (yet removable) cover, there is now - instead - only a magnetic dust filter.
