Product overview
Fractal Design’s Meshify 2 Compact launched on February 24, 2021 as the compact mid‑tower of the Meshify 2 family. It targets the mainstream tier: a smaller ATX case that keeps Meshify’s high‑airflow mesh front and modern I/O without the bulk.Sourcefractal-design.com
Built for practical airflow builds, it supports ATX/mATX/Mini‑ITX boards, GPUs up to 341 mm (360 mm with no front fan) and 169 mm air coolers, with front radiators up to 360/280 mm and a 240 mm top mount. You get up to seven fans, ATX PSUs to 200 mm (165 mm with the HDD cage), two 3.5/2.5 trays plus up to four 2.5 mounts, and front I/O with USB‑C and dual USB‑A. The angular mesh front and tempered‑glass side suit showcase rigs; note a 360/280 mm front radiator reduces GPU clearance to ~305 mm. Unique: a fully removable top panel and bracket for easy installs.Sourcefractal-design.com
