Fractal releases Meshify 2 Compact RGB and Lite models

Fractal’s popular Meshify 2 series of cases is going into the next round. After the Meshify 2 RGB and Lite in May and the Mini and Nano in August, the manufacturer is now introducing more models in the form of the Meshify 2 Compact RGB and the Meshify 2 Compact Lite.

The Fractal Meshify 2 Compact series in detail

Visually, both the Meshify 2 Compact RGB and the Meshify 2 Compact Lite cases continue the design language of the model series, relying on the iconic asymmetrical front panel, as well as the thoughtful layout inside.

This makes it possible to install powerful and large components despite the compact design, which otherwise require rather larger cases. The Meshify 2 Compact RGB features a screwless Tempered Glass side panel, a fully removable top panel for optimal access to the interior, as well as a new front panel with USB 3.1 Type-C port.

To optimize airflow, you can also easily remove the front filter. The new RGB lighting also puts your build in the spotlight, here the manufacturer relies on an RGB controller with Northern Lights effect.

The Meshify 2 Compact Lite, on the other hand, builds on the previous Lite model, but relies on a redesigned construction that further improves efficiency and also promises high modularity. You can find all the details about the new cases on the manufacturer’s product page.
