Fractal Design Meshify 3 XL Black TG Light Tint - Computer Case

Great case, great documentation. Not perfect but very very close. Almost entirely a joy to build in, with rare exceptions. Access to the power supply's front is problematic without taking lots of the inside apart (air shroud blocks that front and can't be removed without first removing a side radiator for example). I also needed to remove the GPU to re-install the cable cover. The cable cover is a good addition, but I did grow to hate that piece of metal. You can remove the top of the case which really helps with building, though it will always be a struggle to do all the motherboard header connections in any case. Still found myself staring thru the case rear while slowly plugging things into headers as carefully as could be. I'm building a water-cooled PC, and even in this gigantic case I'm running into size constraints. These are generally super well documented in Fractal's excellent manual. Some limits are flexible but this should prevent folks from trying things that won't fit. I love Fractal's manuals, and this is the third Fractal Design case that I've built in. There is great room in the case for putting a pump in on the floor (120mm fan mount), side radiator mount space is tight but one can get a radiator in there and still keep the floor's air guide panel installed. Front IO panel cables are a bit thick which makes routing around a side fan setup rough, but it still works. Cable management in the back is awesome - I love the new plastic cable holders. THere is enough room in the back for a fan controller (I got the "plain" version of this case so I needed to install my own OCTO fan controller, which I attached with velcro tape in the roomy HDD area in back. This is my first build in a large case and I also needed to resort to fan extension cables to get everything to the right place. I don't have the RGB one, and that's fine because there are so many other options for lighting if desired (I prefer cheap light strips hidden away). These look great and are visible through the top and front, though I haven't yet installed my radiators. The case can be very, very quiet when fans are very low. Only major negative is the cost. I listed minor quibbles above, and also this is a dusty case (the mesh on the outside serves as filtration, but it's not as effective as the filters in my old Define Nano S for example. Only the power supply has an actual filter on it. What else - build quality is tip top. Size is almost perfect (it could be maybe 1cm wider and taller to fit more/better radiators. Fan capacity is generous - I am planning 6 intakes and four exhaust fans (140mm each).

Good computer case.

Great case with good build quality. My only complaint is I wish they had kept the mesh pattern from the meshify 2 on this one. That patterned to me looked a lot better.

Good design and functionality

Doesn't support 360 rads. Had to upgrade to the XL. Fan layout limited. Do not trust documentation. New build has been delayed over a month.
