Fractal Design Define S Window Mid-Tower Chassis @ [H]

I met with Fractal at Computex last year, they had this unique "one night event" where they rented out a night club near the convention center and invited media in for a 30minute marketing meeting and offered free drinks and food while you waited.

It was a nice change of pace, if not extremely brief.

I don't believe that the case in the HardOCP review was on display but many of their design concepts are carried through the entire product line making them all uniquely, the same.

Fractal Design is known for utilitarian designs that make installing PC hardware easier and keeping it cooler. Its new Define S chassis makes claims enthusiasts will want to see come to true, namely a "layout, providing a perfectly straight airflow path to the CPU heatsink for air cooling set ups or extensive radiator mounting possibilities for water cooling set ups.

Personally I'm not a fan of the outer style given that the front bezel is completely flat which indicates a door is hiding everything.  Side vents provide restrictive cooling and the door is always getting in the way.  Sure it looks sleek, the side window it huge and you can move the drive cages around inside the case but its just a box with holes. how unique is that?
