Fractal Design Launches Define S2 Computer Case

On Wednesday, October 3, 2018 — by strudinox

Fractal Design launched the Define S2 gaming computer case, a new version of its tried and tested Define S gaming computer case released almost three years ago. The Define S2 comes in four different options: Black, Blackout, Gunmetal and White. The design of the new Define S2 case is centered around Fractal Design’s zero-obstruction formula which is a case design standard for prioritize silent, high-performance cases.

Airflow is a top priority of the Fractal Design Define S2 case. There are over nine total fan positions, and the main intake on the front of the case has been made 15% larger that its predecessor. Liquid cooling is also taken into consideration. The top of the case is able to sport a 420mm radiator which also includes a custom made bracket for easy install. The top also includes a removable fill port for easy access. The front of the case is able to fit a 360mm radiator. Liquid cooling pumps and reservoirs are also supported with customized mounting options.

The front I/O panel includes support for USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C. Underneath the the front panel the Fractal Design Define S2 also comes with three Dynamic Z2 fans. A seamless bolt-free tempered glass side panel makes up the entirety of the left side.
