Fractal Design ARC Mini R2 Micro ATX Chassis Review

Final Thoughts


The total build too me 30 minutes, a little longer than it usually takes me, however I did take a little time to remove the hard drive bays and relocate the rear fan to the front of the chassis. Cable routing looks great and this has helped keep airflow unrestricted throughout the chassis.

The 120mm fan was moved from the back to the front intake to feed our GPU with more air, but you can still have a rear 120mm fan if you wish, it was not removed due to any issue.

I could have left the hard drive bays in the front with no issue, but I felt it was a good opportunity to demonstrate how much space there is in this chassis. Dual fans in the front still leaves a load of space for a super thick radiator in the front.

The 140mm fan has been taken out of the top to make way for our Corsair H100i, it fits perfectly and there is even room for a push / pull fan configuration.

Around the back we can see our stealth mounted SSD, handy given that we’ve removed all the front hard drive bays.

With the side panel back in place we get a nice view of the chassis interior through the tinted side panel window, but overall the build look pretty slick.

As a child in my 40's, I spend my day combining my love of music and movies with a life-long passion for gaming, from arcade classics and retro consoles to the latest high-end PC and console games. So it's no wonder I write about tech and test the latest hardware while I enjoy my hobbies!

  1. I like it. If I were ever to build myself a mATX system this would be my chassis of choice (sans window of course)
