For what it's worth I've had the white version of this case for over a year now and I love it. Everything is super spacious and easy to work in, it came with plenty of extra HDD cages, neither dust nor temps have been an issue (ymmv there obviously), and if you're into the aesthetics of the front panel it's pretty attractive and eye catching in a room

B&H shows photos for the Meshify 2 (non-Mini). Be careful and search elsewhere if you want more than two 3.5in Hard drives or more than 4 PCIE slots.

This is a top tier case. I have the Meshify C, and it's my favorite case I have owned so far.

But I wouldn't get the mini. It's like two inches shorter, and just as big in every other way.

You just limit your choice of motherboard, and don't actually get a noticeably smaller build.

Also, the pictures are for the full size case, not the mini.

Just a heads up, these are mATX case with 331mm gpu limit(less with front fan or lesser with aio mounted). I had a define c which is just atx version of these and had to changed whole case after I upgraded my gpu to relatively smaller 3 fan gpu. Otherwise, it's really good case and even better considering it's price.

Not a bad price for a case in the mATX form factor and from a reputable company such as Fractal Design, and I own 3 of their cases: the Define R4, R7 and Define S.

I have the very similar Meshify C and like it quite a bit. Doubt you will find anything better for $60.

Like the first comment, I've had this case for over a year now (black version). Absolutely love it, incredibly easy to build and maintain. I paid full price at the time $109 and it was worth it to me. Someone else already mentioned but there is a GPU length limit: 306 mm max length (12.046"), 331 mm without a front fan in the way (13.03")

Is this mATX or ATX? Specs indicate mATX, photos show 7 ATX expansion slots.

The pictures of an ATX case with 7 pcie slots. It's like this on the site, too. The overview says 4 slots, and a 4 slot case is what you'll get. I'm just throwing this little bit of info out there for those who are new to diy builds! Gamer Nexus had this case as 1 of the best for air flow for years on their carts! Definitely recommended at this price!

I just left a comment explaining your question. The overview on B&H says 4 slot case and Fractal Design website has the case for show

This is a ridiculously good price for an amazing case. This has never been this low on sale, a few years ago I saw it for $90 at its low point. Get it while it's in stock!

I don't even need one and I'm thinking about it, wish it was this cheap when I paid nearly the same for their much more basic model I bought for my son!

Edit: Yep I literally paid this price for a Fractal Design Focus G Mid-Tower, although that does have a legacy optical 5 1/4" he needed. So nevermind Big Grin
