Description
Silence, efficiency and sheer water-cooled extravagance
The Define S2 is the latest leap forward in open-layout case design — an ingenious refinement of the zero-obstruction formula that cemented the series as the de facto standard for the silent high-performance build.

Limited only by your imagination
The S2 achieves increased airflow and water cooling capacity with nine total fan positions and 15% larger intake area than the previous generation. Radiators up to 420 mm install directly through the top by way of an innovative removable bracket with built-in fill port for easy access, and there’s room for radiators up to 360 mm in the front and 280 mm in the base. Pumps and reservoirs are supported right out of the box with integrated mounting locations and adjustable brackets.
Full USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C comes standard along with three Dynamic X2 fans, full length ventilated PSU shroud with alternate SSD mounts, and support for vertical GPU installation via the Flex VRC-25 riser, available separately.
Bolt-free tempered glass offers an exceptionally clear interior view thanks to an elegant push-to-lock latching mechanism, and Third generation ModuVent™ technology complements a generous application of industrial sound dampening to ensure your hardware is seen but not heard.

“The Fractal Design Define S2 is a PC case which we can definitely recommend. If you are looking for a mid-tower PC case with pre-installed acoustic insulation material as well as silent fans and on top of that it’s fully compatible with custom watercooling gear, this is a great choice.”
“The Define S2 offers everything we’ve come to expect in a modern mid-tower, including a full-length PSU shroud and USB 3.1 Type-C Gen. 2 connectivity. Like its predecessor, the case can pack a whole lot of cooling into a relatively compact build.”
”In the introduction we said “Wow”, And having spent a few days reviewing the Define S2 Vision, we’re still saying “Wow.”
