This article covers Fractal Design Meshify 2 コンパクト ブラック TG ライトティント.
Overview
The Fractal Design Meshify 2 Compact Black TG Light Tint - RGB (model FD-C-MES2C-06) is a compact mid-tower PC case that brings the iconic angular mesh front and high airflow design to a smaller footprint. The black steel chassis is paired with a light-tint tempered glass side panel, giving a sleek, stealth-inspired look while showcasing the pre-installed 4x Aspect 14 RGB PWM fans and built-in RGB controller for Fractal's signature Aurora lighting effects. Despite its compact dimensions, the case supports up to E-ATX motherboards (up to 285mm wide), full-size ATX power supplies, and high-end graphics cards up to 341mm long, making it suitable for performance gaming or workstation builds. With support for CPU coolers up to 169mm and radiators up to 360mm in the front and top (and 280mm in the bottom), the Meshify 2 Compact RGB balances space efficiency with robust cooling options. The dual-layout interior allows either an open layout for airflow or a closed layout for storage, offering flexibility for different component configurations. The inclusion of four 140mm RGB fans and an integrated RGB controller means buyers can achieve vivid lighting without extra cost or wiring complexity.
Compatibility Guide
Motherboard form factors: Mini-ITX, Micro-ATX, ATX, E-ATX (up to 285mm width). E-ATX boards with wider than 285mm will not fit — measure carefully. CPU cooler height: Maximum 169mm. Popular air coolers like the Noctua NH-D15 (165mm) or be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 5 (168mm) fit, but taller coolers may not. Graphics card length: Up to 341mm with front 140mm fan installed; remove the fan for even longer cards (up to ~360mm). Still fits most RTX 4090 models. Radiator support: Front 360mm, top 360mm, bottom 280mm, rear 120mm. For 360mm front setups, keep radiator thickness ≤40mm to avoid GPU interference. PSU mounting: Front ATX mount; supports PSUs up to 200mm in length. Cable management space behind the motherboard is generous for a compact case. RGB controller: Built into the front I/O panel, compatible with 4-pin RGB and 3-pin ARGB (5V). Can sync with motherboard software via included cable.
Product Info
Released in February 2021, the Meshify 2 Compact RGB sits in the mid-to-high tier of compact mid-tower cases, offering high airflow and excellent hardware compatibility at a reasonable price point (typically ¥17,000–¥20,000 before tax). As of May 2026, retail prices on .jp can vary widely — some listings show ¥79,792, but standard pricing remains around ¥20,000–¥25,000. The case comes with four 140mm PWM RGB fans and an integrated controller, saving users the cost of additional fans. It is sold through major retailers including Japan, and Fractal Design offers a 2-year warranty.
Best Use Cases
High-performance gaming PC builder: The combination of support for ATX/E-ATX motherboards, long GPUs, and 360mm AIO coolers makes this case ideal for gaming rigs with top-tier components. The mesh front ensures excellent airflow even with high TDP parts. RGB enthusiast seeking clean aesthetics: The pre-installed RGB fans and controller provide out-of-the-box lighting without extra purchase, and the light-tint glass shows off the interior without overwhelming reflection. Compact workstation with storage needs: The case can hold 2x 3.5-inch HDDs and 4x 2.5-inch SSDs, plus a full ATX PSU, making it suitable for a modest storage server or a creator build that requires multiple drives.
Things to Consider
Cable management can be tight especially if using an E-ATX board or a non-modular PSU. The cable routing holes are well-placed but the space behind the motherboard tray is limited. Plan your wiring before assembly. Radiator thickness limitations: When installing a 360mm radiator in the front, ensure that the combined thickness of radiator + fans does not interfere with the graphics card. Most 30mm radiators with 25mm fans (55mm total) are fine, but thicker radiators (e.g., 45mm) may require removing the front fan or changing the layout. Price fluctuations: The listing currently shows a very high price (¥79,792), likely due to third-party seller pricing. Check multiple retailers or the official Fractal Design store for fair pricing around ¥20,000–¥25,000. Fan size discrepancy: Some specs list fan size as 120mm, but the included fans are actually 140mm Aspect 14 models. Verify with the official product page before buying. Not the most compact: While called 'Compact', it is still a mid-tower with dimensions 424×210×475 mm. If you need a truly small case (e.g., Mini-ITX only, under 30L), consider the Meshify 2 Nano or other SFF options.
