Fractal Design Meshify 2 Review

Anyone comparing the Fractal Design Meshify 2 to the smaller Meshify 2 Compact wants to know if the full-size version is worth the extra room.

It is if you're running E-ATX or want serious modular storage: full-size Meshify 2 fits up to nine 3.5-inch or SSD trays and takes a 420mm front radiator, well beyond what the Compact can handle.

Storage & Airflow

Fractal's signature angular mesh front carries over from the original Meshify C, scaled up, with three 140mm fans (two front, one rear) included stock. The modular drive cage system lets you strip bays out entirely if you'd rather have open airflow instead of storage.

Comparison to Alternatives

Against the Fractal Design North already in our catalog, Meshify 2 trades North's walnut styling for raw capacity and a bigger 420mm radiator ceiling; it's also a size up from the Fractal Design Torrent, which prioritizes fan-driven airflow over drive bays.
