Swedish Fractal Design has risen to the ranks of the most popular enclosure manufacturers by following its simple Scandinavian design principles. Now the company has released new versions of its highly popular Meshify series.

Meshify 2 and 2 XL are easily identifiable as members of the Meshify family by their web-based front panels made up of walkable polygons. Efficient air circulation has been one of the product family’s selling points. Meshify 2 has seats for a total of nine 10 or mm or nine 140 mm for the fan

Fractal Design’s new Meshify 2 enclosure overhaul features a much-needed removable nylon dust filter on the front panel, a movable wall to customize the enclosure for different needs, and a fully detachable enclosure roof. The new movable wall at the front of the case can be pulled flush with the motherboard carriage to the right side of the case, or pulled to the left side of the case to accommodate the entire case 14 3.5-inch hard drive and four SSDs. The removable roof, in turn, makes building the assembly even easier.

The basic version of the case will be available in black, gray and white and 2 XL in black. For Black Meshify 2, you can choose a solid side or a tinted glass side. The tinted glass sides are available in two different degrees of tinting. Only the lighter tinted glass side is available for the gray version and the clear glass side for the white version.
