The build quality is therefore enviable, unsurpassed. I could not find any flaw in this product from every point of view, much less the constructive one.

Meshify 2 Compact • Aesthetics and RGB functions

Perhaps the only small shortcoming of this gaming case is theabsence of RGB lighting and a possible specific controller.

Not considering it a fundamental condition, however, you can call it a lack. If anything, it is something more that is not there.

In fact, we are now used to seeing houses with very overbearing and invasive plays of light. Fractal Design rather it goes towards the minimalism and absolute cleanliness of design, which I personally admire and adore.

In fact, we must not forget that having acceptable quality RGB fans , it will never be as good as having excellent quality ones without lighting. This is the case with every case Fractal Design.

And if we wanted to add RGB lighting then this can be done without a doubt given the infinity of special products that can be purchased.

Il case is instead served with a clean design, simple, elegant.

One thing that is important to point out without any doubt is that Fractal Design make available i best instruction manuals I've ever had in my hands.
