Overview
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.
The S2 achieves increased airflow and water cooling capacity with nine total
fan positions and 15% larger intake area vs. 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.
Whether your aim is silence, efficiency or sheer water-cooled extravagance,
the Define S2 hits the mark.
