Product overview

Launched on February 20, 2020, the Define 7 Black Solid continues Fractal’s long‑running Define series focused on silence and modularity, debuting alongside the larger Define 7 XL. This exact Black Solid variant (SKU FD‑C‑DEF7A‑01) retains the minimalist steel exterior, reversible front door, and dense acoustic damping.Sourcefractal-design.comSourcefractal-design.com

Positioned as a high_end mid‑tower, it exists for builders who want a premium, quiet chassis without sacrificing capacity. It supports E‑ATX motherboards, standard ATX PSUs, very long GPUs, and 185 mm tower coolers; includes three 140 mm fans; offers five‑port front I/O with 20 Gbps USB‑C; and has broad radiator support up to large sizes depending on position. Unique: its dual‑layout interior converts to a high‑capacity storage setup for up to 14 HDDs plus dedicated SSD mounts. As of September 2026, it remains an active product (not discontinued).Sourcefractal-design.comSourcefractal-design.com
