Overview

The beneficial evolution of a Fractal Design XL classic

Fractal Design 's Meshify 2 XL TG is a high-performance, large-tower case that boldly blends aesthetics with discretion. The exterior boasts a screwless surface, fully removable top panel, tempered glass side window, redesigned front panel with USB-C, hinged mesh panel and a removable nylon filter. The interior is also functional and designed for maximum flexibility, allowing you to assemble the configuration you want. It can therefore accommodate an ATX power supply, a graphics card of over 359 mm (549 mm open layout) and it offers powerful cooling possibilities thanks to 9 fans of 140 mm (3 included) and the possibility of installing a watercooling system (480 mm on the front and top).

An emblematic conception and design

Beyond the bold and stealthy aesthetics of this Meshify 2 XL case, you'll be delighted to enjoy a spacious dual compartment layout that can easily accommodate largemotherboards up to 285mm (E-ATX). Ingeniously designed, the Meshify 2 XL opens fully to expose its interior on three sides for easy installation and cable routing. Adaptable to your needs, it's a clever case that takes advantage of versatile new multi-supports that allow you to convert any unused fan position into a hard drive, SSD, pump stand.

To allow you to take advantage of more storage solutions, the Meshify 2 XL includes 6 HDD / SSD trays, 2 SSD mounts and 2 universal mounts for mounting up to 10 drives. Even better, the storage can be expanded to 16 trays and 5 SSD holders with 2 multi-supports installed on top and bottom for up to 23 drives.

To take advantage of all your peripherals, it is equipped with a complete connectivity accessible from the front, such as 3 USB ports including a USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C.

Ingenuity for perfect cooling and easy mounting

The new front panel design, with a removable angled mesh filter, allows easier access to the front fan mounts. This new design ensures a perfectly filtered and optimised airflow. To achieve the ideal level of cooling to best preserve your system, the Meshify 2 XL supports a total of 11 x 120mm or 9 x 140mm fans (including 3 x Dynamic X2 GP-14 fans pre-installed). If your goal is to design a quiet machine, the Meshify 2 can of course support radiators up to 480mm at the front, 480mm at the top or 280mm at the base in the default open layout.

The ultra-thin Nexus+2 fan hub allows you to connect up to three PWM fans and six 3-pin fans directly, with clean cable management running along the entire edge of the case.

Designed for ease of setup and maintenance, the Meshify 2 XL features easy-to-clean, high-flow nylon filters on the front, top and base. Tool-free, top-locking panels allow for quick access while preventing accidental drops.

    Full of possibilities

    Not only is this tower superb, it's also really well thought out.
    I was a bit scared at first because it's hard to see how to manage the contents. I had a bit of trouble integrating my 4 SATA disks, but everything is well explained online. I invite you to take the time to see all the possibilities of this tower.
    It provides plenty of space for ventilation and the components you put in it.
    Only downside: it weighs a dead ass...

    Sublime!

    This is the case of all superlatives! It is primarily designed for those who need space and modularity. It is very well finished, the cable management is well thought out, the ventilation is Dantesque and as far as I am concerned it is perfectly adapted to my server-oriented use. It hosts today a Ryzen 9 5900x + be quiet Dark Rock 4, 64go ram, 4x 16Tb + 2x 8Tb in 3,5", 3 ssd 2,5", 2 m.2 nvme, raid adaptec u2 card to 16 sata, 6 fans 140mm + 5 120mm and I can add the triple in disks... no other case offers that! To summarize, this case is massive, design with its front 3d mesh, huge, imposing, weighs a dead ass in short, it's heavy!
