Full-tower case for large builds

The Define 7 XL is a full-tower chassis built for E-ATX, SSI-EEB and other oversized motherboards. Its dual-layout interior lets you choose between maximum storage or maximum water-cooling space. Aluminium front panels with magnetic latches and a three-side opening give easy access during assembly. Industrial sound-damping material lines the steel structure for quiet operation.

Upgrade from cramped mid-tower cases

Move to this chassis when your current case cannot fit an EE-ATX board, a 480 mm radiator or more than a handful of drives. The Open Layout removes the top panel entirely and supports radiators up to 480 mm at the front or top. Nine 140 mm or eleven 120 mm fan positions provide the airflow headroom that smaller enclosures lack.

Eighteen 3.5-inch drives and five 2.5-inch mounts

In the default Storage Layout the case holds 18 3.5-inch drives and five 2.5-inch drives using the included trays and brackets. Two 5.25-inch external bays remain for optical media or accessories. A ventilated top panel can be swapped in to add four filtered fan positions when storage density is lower.
