Review: Build Back Better Bigger and Better with the Fractal Design XL - Just finished a server build in the Define 7 XL. Fantastic case to build in, you can tell a huge amount of thought went into flexibility and compatibility. Modern 2025 cases from what I know are very aesthetic and are innovating, especially in airflow and fan/rad mounting. However, this case is insanely compatible and flexible and, if not supported, a little MacGuyvering could get just about any amount of PC components into this chassis. Even with an extended motherboard, loads of drives, SSDs, add in cards, an AIO, an extended PSU, and cabling to support all of these peripherals, the case feels roomy and airy. All of the exterior parts, top, sides, dust filters snap together in a really satisfying way and the (mostly) tool-less design makes building a breeze because you can just get to the build and don't have to work "around" the case. Excellent cable management with built-in velcro ties. Built-in fan controller adds lots of flexibility and 3 included 140MM fans are a nice to have, especially considering fractal's big fans are so quiet and reliable. Removable PSU mount gives me the flexbility to add my PSU and plug everything in and test before committing to mounting it. Alternatively, I can now 3D print a SFX or smaller PSU adapter for dual PSUs or just because. I have to really stretch to find any nitpicks with this case, truly. If I had to say *something* I would say the hole behind the motherboard tray could be a bit bigger (or shifted) in case you make the timeless mistake of forgetting to mount the CPU cooler backplate. My threadripper motherboard's CPU socket did not line up with this hole in the mobo tray although it is already pretty large. however, this is a nitpick I have to search to find since that wasn't even an issue for my build. 10/10 case - the sound material, quit built in fans, airflow, and build quality made for a whisper quiet server chock full of components and it's not even halfway full. I like this case even more than my beloved Fractal Node 804, though they have slightly different use cases.
Review: Very much like a child's Erector Set - The Define 7XL is basically an Erector Set for adults. You get an impressive set of parts from which you free form a custom build. I'm totally satisfied with the final result despite the criticisms that follow. However, I was very surprised at how minimalist and how poorly designed many of the features are. I didn't finish my new build using the Define 7XL until 8/11/2024 despite starting back in May. The whole Erector Set (or LEGO set) experience wasn't expected or to my liking. I just put it aside for weeks at a time. This is coming from a 20 year old Antec Sonata case in which I've built at least four computers over the years. The vastly superior design of the Sonata was potentially timeless, but it was never intended to hold a graphics card as large as a three fan Asus TUF. Reusing the Sonata for my fifth computer was not an option. The Define 7XL turned out to be the only suitable replacement. Must have features included a beautiful and understated dark finish, the ability to include an optical disk, and room enough for any current or future motherboard and graphics card. On to the negatives: (1) You will need to move your build on occasion. Absolutely zero thought has been given to this basic necessity. The only handhold is on the back panel. DO NOT attempt to lift by the front nose. The front door panel is sturdy metal but it's only attached to a flimsy plastic molding by four very small screws. In turn, the plastic molding is only secured to the main framework by eight plastic tabs. Your completed build will run in the 50 pound category. You will break the irreplaceable plastic molding if you try to carry by the rear handhold and front nose, leaving you with an ugly mess. Better to wrap two nylon straps around the case and lift by the straps. (2) The case needs castors. Again, zero thought has been given for the obvious. Working out this Erector Set problem held me up for a couple of weeks. Many thanks to desertcart for graciously refunding me for all the failed options I returned. So, let me make it easy for you. The castors have to be installed as early as possible, and definitely before the power supply or optional bottom mounted fans. Order the castor set with ASIN [desertcart Standard Identification Number] B09VYZ6L2W. Feel free to substitute, but the threaded stems must be either M6 or 1/4 inch diameter with stem length of one inch or less. Do not order stems with M8 or 5/16 inch stem diameter because the installation will be blocked on the side with the power supply shroud. Go to your local hardware store and buy twelve additional washers like the ones in the kit. You need them to get enough clearance under the case so that the castors don't bind on the filter screen holders. The castors on the side away from the PS shroud are easy. Remove the hard drive cages. Remove the plastic feet. Notice that removing each plastic foot exposes two additional holes in the case that were covered up by the foot. One of those holes at each corner is the right size for the castor stems. Put three washers on the stem, insert into the case, and secure with one washer and a nut on the inside the case. Snug up tightly and you're done on this side. BTW, the wrenches included with the castor set are soft garbage. You can use the thin wrench that fits on the castor itself, but I recommend using your own crescent wrench on the nut within the case. Unfortunately, the PS shroud interferes with installation on that side. The washer that goes inside the case has to be modified by cutting a flat into it with a coarse file or Dremel cutting disk. The nuts have a flange and you will have to remove the flange on one of the flats. Assemble with the flats against the shroud. Use your own crescent wrench to keep the inside nut from turning while you firmly tighten the castor. The PS shroud is soft metal and will deform, leaving the castor vertical or at least close enough to vertical. (3) More to come.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Could someone with the define 7 xl please measure the distance between the feet?  i have the overall room, but only space for a 19" footprint**
A: The question seems unclear. The feet do not protrude outside the side or front of the case. The footprint is 9-1/2" wide x 23-1/4" deep X 22" tall (but make room above if you are venting upwards)

**Q: Does something extra need to be purchased to be able to support 18 3.5" drives?**
A: Yes, you will need additional HDD drive tray accessories.

**Q: Will a noctua nh-d15 fit in this case with one fan raised for memory clearance? also, does it accommodate a 5.25" optical drive?**
A: The Define 7 XL has a CPU cooler max height of 185mm, and the Noctua NH-D15 is 165mm with the fans installed. With the fans on the NH-D15 in the default position, RAM modules up to 35mm tall are supported, but the Define 7 XL has enough space that you could adjust the height of the fan an additional 20mm to support RAM up to 55mm tall.  Yes, the Define 7 XL has slots for two external 5.25-inch optical drives.

**Q: Can you order the tempered glass panel by itself?**
A: I’ve seen it on newegg before and after talking with fractal support they say that you can order the panel by itself. You might have to make a support inquiry if it’s out of stock on newegg.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Masterclass in Design - Fractal Design Define 7 XL Review
*by J***N on September 26, 2024*

I recently had the pleasure of unboxing and installing the Fractal Design Define 7 XL, and I must say it's been a game-changer for my build. This E-ATX Silent Modular Full Tower Computer Case is an absolute powerhouse of design, functionality, and versatility. Internal Layout: 5/5 One of the standout features of this case is its expansive internal layout. The label placement on the motherboard mounting points is a thoughtful touch, making it easy to identify where each mounting hole is located. This attention to detail ensures that I can properly configure my build without any confusion. Noise Cancellation: 5/5 The Define 7 XL truly delivers on its promise of silence. The sound dampening is superb, and the included case fans (which, by the way, are excellent quality like all Fractal products) work in perfect harmony to keep noise levels at bay. Whether I'm running demanding tasks or just browsing the web, this case ensures a peaceful environment. Cable Management: 5/5 The rubber cable channels on the rear of the case are an absolute delight. They're well-designed, easy to install, and provide more than enough room for my cables to breathe. This feature is often overlooked in other cases, but it's a game-changer for keeping your build looking tidy and organized. Build Quality: 5/5 The metal used in the case itself is top-notch quality. It feels solid, sturdy, and built to last. The brushed aluminum finish adds a touch of sophistication to the design, making this case a beautiful addition to any room. Versatility: 4.5/5 While the instructions could be improved, the included videos online are more than helpful in reorganizing the internal components. This case truly offers excellent versatility and functionality, making it an ideal choice for builders who want a high level of customization. Conclusion: The Fractal Design Define 7 XL is a masterclass in design and engineering. Its attention to detail, quiet operation, and versatility makes it an exceptional choice for any build. I would wholeheartedly recommend this case to anyone looking for a top-notch E-ATX Silent Modular Full Tower Computer Case.
