FRACTAL DESIGN Define 7 XL Dark EATX Full Tower Cabinet (Black Solid)

The Fractal Design Define 7 XL Dark (Black Solid) is a full tower PC cabinet engineered for enthusiast builds that demand maximum space, extensive cooling support, and flexible storage. Built around a clean, understated aesthetic, it combines functionality with a refined exterior to suit both workstation and high-performance gaming configurations. The case ships with three pre-installed Dynamic X2 GP-14 140mm fans and supports up to nine fan positions in total. Cooling headroom is exceptional: front and top positions each accommodate radiators up to 480mm or 420mm, the bottom accepts up to a 280mm or 240mm radiator, and the rear supports a 120mm unit. This makes the Define 7 XL Dark an ideal platform for custom water-cooling loops or large all-in-one liquid coolers. Motherboard compatibility is broad. The chassis natively supports E-ATX, ATX, mATX, Mini-ITX, EE-ATX, SSI-CEB, and SSI-EEB form factors, making it one of the most versatile full tower options available for workstation and HEDT platforms. Up to 9+3 expansion slots provide ample room for multi-GPU or high-lane-count add-in card configurations. Storage capacity is a standout feature. The layout accommodates up to 18 HDD or SSD positions in total, with six HDD/SSD trays and two SSD brackets included from the factory. Two 5.25-inch optical drive bays are convertible to an additional front fan mount with a filtered louver panel. Front I/O includes one USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C port, two USB 3.0 ports, two USB 2.0 ports, and a 3.5mm audio I/O jack alongside power and reset buttons. Fan management is handled by the included Nexus+ 2 slim fan hub, which connects up to three PWM fans and six 3-pin fans simultaneously. The solid-panel Dark variant uses a metal side panel rather than tempered glass, contributing to reduced acoustic output. The front panel is finished in anodized aluminum. High-airflow nylon filters with full PSU bay coverage are easy to remove and clean.
