No tool-free mounting system for drives
Fifth and sixth drive mounts require optional hardware
We’ve lost count of how many big PC cases we’ve reviewed, but among mainstream mid-tower models, Fractal Design’s $109.99 Meshify 2 Compact case is one of the best. It’s not what we’d call a
perfect case—we’ve yet to see one of those!—but it falls short of that mark only by omitting a handful of features that we feel a perfect case should have. Don’t be fooled by the “Compact” in the name; this is not a space-saving Mini-ITX chassis by any means, but one for full ATX boards. The quirky name aside, it’s one of the strongest mainstream ATX-case efforts of recent years. It lands our latest Editors’ Choice award for ATX mid-tower PC cases.
