FRONTPAGE Fractal Design Arc Mini R2 Case Review

[Overclockers.com]

The Arc series is Fractal Design's answer to users who need massive amounts of airflow.

Love the Fractal Arc series cases. About 8 months ago, the Mini was on sale for ~$50 at newegg when I was building for a friend. Really wish I'd bought a few at that point as they haven't come down since.

I really like my Mid R2 and this seems to be more of the same.

Nice review!

I bought a Fractal Designs case a year or two ago. Very pleased with it - great quality and huge (so obviously not this model!). The only thing I had which drove me crazy, was the power light was almost bright enough to read by. Scratch that - I actually could. When my computer went to sleep mode, the thing would keep blinking at me like it was trying to guide a plane in to land. Eventually covered the entire power button up with duct tape and you can still see it blinking underneath!

Other than God's own powerlight on the thing - great case. Good to see they're still on form.

I haven't noticed the power light being all that bright on the new ones (granted, I've never slept next to mine). It seems like they've toned it down
