As the name implies
Define XL is the larger sibling of the acclaimed and award winning Define R2/R3 case. Similar to Define R2/R3
it offers a number of interesting functions with a very stylish appearance. It’s a case focused on low noise level
without neglecting other important features such as cooling
expandability and ease of use.
- Stylish design
- Pre-fitted with noise absorbing material
- Configurable thermal chamber design
- Great cooling possibilities
3x fans included (2x 140mm
1x 180mm) - 10x HDD slots
- Unique ModuVent™ design in side panel
The XL is pre-fitted with a dense noise absorbing bitumen material
covered with a soft foam texture. This material effectively absorbs noise generated by the components and fans inside. Paired with other noise preventing features such as a covered top panel with a 180mm fan mounted at an angle to expel warm air out the rear of the case and silicone grommets for hard drive mounting
the XL truly excels in delivering a low noise solution.
An important feature of the XL is the division into three thermal chamber designs. This allows you to freely choose the best thermal configuration suited to your needs. First is the upper main chamber
containing most of the components
such as motherboard
ODD and one HDD cage. The main chamber is cooled by one 140mm fan in the front (included)
one 120mm fan in the front (optional)
one 140mm fan in the rear (included)
one 120 or 140mm fan in the side panel (optional) and one 180mm fan in the top (included). The top 180mm fan is mounted with an angle
blowing out hot air through the rear side of the case. As mentioned earlier in the text
having the top covered has a clear acoustic advantage
in not letting noise emit from the top of the case. The main chamber is connected to the second thermal chamber
the PSU chamber
with a removable lid. The lid can be removed if you want to turn the PSU upside down
pulling out air from the main chamber. Standard and recommended configuration
though
is with the lid closed
having the PSU take in air from the bottom of the case
through the supplied filter.
The third chamber is the lower HDD chamber
with room for six hard drives. This chamber is cooled by an optional 140mm fan in the front. The standard configuration is to let the air that has gone through the HDD’s and therefore is hot
go out behind the right side panel (seen from the front) and out the rear of the case. However
you can decide to remove the dividing metal panel between the lower HDD chamber and the PSU chamber
to let the air flow over the PSU and out of the rear ventilation holes.
Another unique feature of the XL is the ModuVent™ feature
inherited from the Define R2/R3 case. This is a cover fitted with noise absorbing material
mounted in the side panel fan hole
allowing you to choose between an optimal low noise level
having the cover mounted or optimal airflow by removing the cover and mounting a fan for intake.
Apart from all these features
XL also offers excellent cable routing possibilities
with large holes and plenty of space for cables behind the M/B plate. The cable routing holes are covered with silicone covers
effectively hiding the cable clutter.
A fan controller
which can be mounted in an expansion slot in the rear
is included. It can control up to three fans with one knob.
