Fractal Design

Hi all I'm looking to get a case to replace my Fractal Design R4. Nothing wrong with it, had it for 10 years almost so looking for a change. My top contender is Hyte Y40 at the moment but it could easily change while I'm researching. My requirements are as follows: Glass panel/panoramic...

Hello, so I'm considering upgrading my several-years-old PC. What I have: What I may buy: Are the components fully compatible? What issues may I have? Is the upgrade good overall (don't pay attention to the GPU - it will get its upgrade sometime too)? And what concerns me is that Zen 4...

One of the case fans on my Fractal Design Define S2 Vision RGB recently stopped spinning. The rgb works but it doesn't spin. I took the case apart and if I manually spin it with my hand it's much more rigid than the other fans. The other fans keep spinning and this one just stops immediately...
