Fractal Design Arc Mini or Define Mini

Any thoughts?

I prefer a minimalist design (which I think both achieves) but I fear the overheating issue when my air con is not turned on.

Anyone using these cases care to give some reviews? I intend to just use the stock fans provided.

I have the Define mini. No issue in overheating and is quiet. In fact, I prefer it over my Antec P182.

Arc mini r2 will be out soon. That's if distro decides to import

They both look good from my opinion. But if you are more into your rig having better airflow, I think Arc Mini is the better choice. Likewise, the Define Mini excels if you prefer a quieter CPU.

I don't like the window on the R2. It looks good though!

Yup it will be in ! But Arc Mini will still be around to cater for users who prefer a non-windowed version case

But the Arc Mini R2 will be only coming in around August - September period, will see how long they take to produce those gems out
