Excellent Cooling performance and Price
The Case came packaged excellently to my door as I have come to expect from Fractal Design in my previous purchases. Building in it was pleasant and cable management was a breeze with the included cable routing channels and tie-down points. The Meshify 2 has ample room for custom water-cooling, I was able to fit a 240 radiator in the front as well as a 360 on the top. The quality of this case is pretty consistent and my only criticism is for the plastic support feet at the bottom of the case ( I was expecting metal like the previous models) and some minor imperfection in the paint finish on the outside of the case ( talking about the grey model, I think the black one will have no issues).
Overall I would strongly recommend this case to anyone looking for a solid platform for their builds including custom cooling projects, I had absolutely no trouble cramming in as many components as I wanted. The Meshify 2 is definitely the king of airflow in a market polluted by too much tempered glass panel cases. The most impressive thing is definitely the price of this product which at around 150 CHF for its lineup demonstrates how much quality you can get, you will certainly not be disappointed as compared to its predecessors I noticed an improvement in panel stamping precision and sheet metal quality.
I would recommend this product to anyone looking for maximum airflow and solid build quality.Pro

Top housing
Super case. Well thought-out, modular, decent cable routing possible and very good airflow values. I came from a Phanteks P400S. Also a great case, but was too heavily insulated. With the Meshify 2 about 10°C cooler CPU temps in the stress test.
Pro
- Modular
- lots of space
- well thought out
- good workmanship
Contra
- nothing

Wow!
Wow! Just wow!
The case is really the absolute hammer.
- Aitflow in the case is really on a new level. The mash filters are of the best quality and very easy to de/mount, with the best hold.
- The entire case can be disassembled into its individual parts.
- The possibilities for modelling the case are endless.
- There is MORE than enough space. Large components are no problem
- Best/easiest cable management I have had so far
all in all it is a dream to build with. Can only heartily recommend it to everyone, from beginner to enthusiast.Pro

An absolute dream
The shipping of the enclosure was surprisingly fast - kudos!
The case arrived well packed with enough styrofoam. The ratio of box to product is also well chosen and not oversized. When I unpacked it, I was greeted by a clear white colour. Externally, the case is as shown in the product pictures.
The case came with 3x pre-installed 140mm fans from Fractal. Enclosed was an assembly manual in several languages. The exploded views were easy to understand.
When preparing the case, the glass front and the SolidPanel were easy to remove. The installation of the individual components was as easy as usual.
The following should be clearly emphasised:
- Front IO is mounted on the case ->Front panel can be easily removed.
- Top panel is completely removable -> incredibly easy installation of the hardware components
The side panels themselves are thin, but far from having a cheap feel. There is nothing to complain about here.
Cable management is also incredibly easy to implement due to the space available.
Despite the mesh design and a total of 10 fans in my case, the background noise is so quiet that the only thing you can actually hear is the HDD that is still installed.
Initially, the case fans in the front scraped against the case at maximum speed (on the 120mm mounting rails). I carefully bent them by a few millimetres (you can't see any difference), which solved the problem. So all is well :)Pro
- Very good airflow
- Fan control
- Very modular (Can be removed almost everything easily and quickly)
- Very much space
- .High-quality workmanship
- Good dust filters everywhere
- Many optional fan positions
- Lots of space for cable management
Contra
- Unfortunately no LEDs

Generous space and good airflow
Fractal Design's build quality is beyond reproach.
Thanks to the good cable management, the interior is clean - except for the cable to the graphics card.
All components are cooled very well thanks to the spacious interior, and the available space is also suitable for larger components.
This is the fourth time I have installed a system in the Meshify 2 in a very short space of time, so I would highly recommend it to anyone who is currently building or wants to build a system.
However, if you're not in such a hurry, you should wait until it's on sale again, as you can save a lot of money.Pro

Very good housing
Beware, this case accepts 3 x 14cm fans at the front but there is almost no margin.
I have some Lian Li SL and I had a hard time fitting them in.
Or expect the v2 version of these fans, that should solve the problems I had.Pro

Is OK
Basically a very good case. I am satisfied, but I probably wouldn't buy it again. Compared to my old Fractal Define, it looks a bit "cheaper".
Pro
- Looks good
- Easy assembly of all components
Contra
- Fan stroke
- Dust remains "stuck" to the front in a clearly visible way
Super box
Really a great case. I was afraid that the glass would be too dark but it is really a little bit smoky and almost transparent.
Pro
- The cable management
- The dust filters
- The space for a big watercooling
- The clear glass

Great case with airflow, some screws but rather mediocre, good customer service.
The case delivers what it promises and is very easy to handle. It offers enough storage space and panels to make managing cables easy even for beginners. Thanks to the mesh in the front, supplying fresh air is a breeze for the case. My Ryzen 5800X gets enough air to score well in Cinebench. The included fan hub is also handy and allows all fans to be controlled via the CPU fan header. However, some screws were so tight that I could only unscrew them with great difficulty and somewhat demolished. However, replacement screws are included.
Unfortunately, the package arrived to me very demolished and with a hole (questionable whether DHL or the warehouse messed up. Maybe they should do something about it). I could not detect any damage during the first inspection. After everything was assembled and I removed the protective film, however, I noticed that one corner of the glass panel was defective.
One support form and one phone call later, my problem was solved and I received a discount to get a new panel. Customer service is apparently still carried out privately here when needed.Pro

Excellent airflow design
Great airflow case, a bit empty in my case as I don't use AIOs but just a fan block, but seems extra tidy as a result.
My ASUS X570 had a bit of trouble addressing the built-in fan stroke correctly. Only after manually switching to PWM control in the BIOS and uninstalling the ASUS AI Suite was I able to control the case fans correctly so that they weren't permanently running at 100%.Pro
- Excellent airflow
- Plenty of space for radiators
- Neat cable management on the back
- Dark, tempered glass doesn't show too much if you don't always want to turn everything off
- Flexible and easy disassembly and reassembly
Contra
- Built-in fan lift is stupid
Best case in which I have assembled a PC
Pro
- Modularity
Contra
- Ikea style instructions
- Some "accessories" chargeable
