The Meshify C TG is an amazing mid-tower case that has some awesome stand out features.
The case is actually slightly shorter than most mid-towers, meaning that you might be able to fit this case in a variety of smaller areas in your room.
Even with the smaller length, I was still able to fit a full size EVGA RTX 2080 XC ULTRA graphics cards AND a H150i pro 360mm AIO from Corsair in the front with about an inch to spare in between them. Incredible!
The case supports the 360mm AIO by removing a bracket near the front of the case on the top of the sleek power supply shroud, and can support 6 fans in total. The top fans are brought towards the side panel, meaning that if you are fitting 120mm fans you will not have any interference with your motherboard. However, I don't think you'd be able to fit two 140mm fans up there even if you tried.
The front of the case has that mesh that allows the front fans to breathe almost completely unobstructed, which is awesome. My 9900k is running at only 72 degrees C with a balanced pump power and low RPM fan speed.
The cable management of this case isn't the best I have seen, but it definitely isn't the worst either. You can fit most of your large cables into the channel on the left side of the back panel, and since I have RGB fans, it looked like a spaghetti monster until I cable managed. It supports three SSD's on the back of the motherboard tray and up to two hard drives if you are not using a 360mm radiator like I am.
Awesome case that looks good and is easy to build in. Definitely reccomended!
I absolutely love those case. From the looks to the ease of install, it is top notch.
The build quality is definitely high. The tempered glass side panel makes looking at all your components easy, as expected. The glass is not tinted, so if this is something you are looking for you will not find it here.
There is plenty of space in the back for cable management, along with the section between the motherboard and front of the case being raised adds so much extra room for all your cables.
The front panel is all mesh, so there is tons of airflow. I am using an air cooler on my Ryzen 1600x overclocked to 3.9Ghz and my temps stay around 49c while gaming. The front panel is made of plastic though, which isn't terrible but you can kind of tell when up close. There is also a removable mesh filter behind the front mesh to capture dust, that is pretty easy to remove. It just requires you to pop the front panel off. But that is super simple.
The top and bottom also have removable dust filters. The top is magnetic, so extremely easy to remove for cleaning. The bottom spans the entire length of the case and slides out the front. Both of these are great for keeping dust out of your case.
The bottom of the case has a shroud to hide the PSU and all the extra cables. Along with a couple trays for HDDs. The back of the motherboard tray has two slots for SSDs as well.
Overall this case has excellent design quality, is very user friendly, has excellent air flow, and in my opinion looks so amazing. Would definitely recommend. Especially since it is under $100, it is better than some $150 cases in my opinion. No regrets with this one.
Size: This case is about as compact as you can get for an ATX motherboard. This leads to some difficulty with cable management, but clever design has made it possible with a bit of planning.
Dust filters: The front, top, and bottom are all covered with easily removable dust filters, which is quite impressive. I consider this case one of the best options for a PC that sits on the floor, although I would still point the power supply fan upward through the perforated shroud rather than down towards the carpet.
Drive compatibility: I have no fewer than five disks mounted in this case: two 3.5" desktop HDDs, two 2.5" laptop HDDs, and one 2.5" SSD. You can add a sixth M.2 SSD which doesn't take up room in the case, but only if your motherboard supports it. Keep in mind that you should try not to use ANY right-angle SATA cables in this case, as they will not play nicely with the drive mounts.
Airflow: One of this case's big selling points is the airflow, and I would have to say it delivers. There's no need to stuff this case with fans because unlike most other modern cases, there is no solid front panel choking the airflow, so each fan can blow freely and quietly.
Overall, I would have to say this case perfectly satisfied all of my needs. The only nitpick I have is that the power indicator isn't RGB, so it might break your color scheme unless you unplug it.
Great looking case. The only downside is my case came with this separation between the glass panel and the case in the top left corner. It doesn’t line up with the case as it does on the other corners leaving my OCD in overdrive mode. I had to cut off part of the foam padding to get it a little closer to the case but it still doesn’t align enough. Oh wells it’s not an expensive case so I let it go. If you have custom extension PSU cables you might wanna toss those cause there’s no extra room in the shroud to hide the extra cable length. As you can see in the picture I had to use the normal cables just until my custom shirt length cablemods get here. There is much improved airflow over my Phantom’s Enthoo Evolve and I love that it fit the ROG Strix 2080Ti as we all know Strix series is probably the longest GPU and has a hard time clearing compact cases.
LOVE this case! im very glad i went witht he white version of the meshify c. It look so high quality and building in it was super fun and easy. It's as if the wires just fell into place, easy wire management, i only used one zip tie!!

First PC build. This is a great case. It was easy to build in. I went non RGB with this case as the tempered glass side panel is really dark but still looks great. Cable management was a breeze. Although building my first pc was nerve racking, this case made it fairly simple to plan out the build and execute flawlessly. I watched maybe 100+ hours of YouTube videos, which helped big time. I’m using the huge! Be quiet dark rock 4 pro air cooler, and it fits with plenty of room between the glass panel. I took out the two provided 120mm fans and put in 2 140mm fans in the front as intake and a 120mm in the back as exhaust. All three are Be quiet dark wings 3. Pc runs cool and quiet, especially at idle. When gaming the pc is audible but not over bearing. I’m still working with my fan curves to get the best thermals to decibel ratio. Also the RTX 2070 Msi gaming Z graphics card is massive but fits just fine the fans in the front. Highly recommend.
Good Things:
-Great airflow and filters where they need to be (three total). The manual doesn't say it but you CAN fit one 140mm and two 120mm in the front intake. (Vs. three 120s or two 140s). I put a black 140 mm Noctua fan above the two included fans and it's a great all-black look. This might not work for you if you want RGB fans in the front and want them all to match.
-White color is very sharp.
-I'm 98% satisfied with the build quality. Everything is where it needs to be and the included hardware is great. There is one tiny spot where the sheet metal is bent but it is one little corner behind the plastic white front piece and isn't visible. I could probably bend it back but it's near a rivet and might loosen the piece.
-Cable management is great, plenty of room behind the motherboard for anything you want to do.
-Room for almost everything. I haven't completed my build yet so I can't post pictures but the case, although on the smaller size, DOES FIT an EVGA 2080 FTW3. This is not a small card by any means. Additionally, you can put three fans on the front AND fit two 3.5" drives in the bottom compartment as long as your PSU isn't massive.
"Meh"s:
-The very front of the case around the large black intake is plastic (one big white piece, where the buttons are). I understand that getting this piece in metal would bump up the price significantly but I'm just noting it.
-That bent metal piece. But this literally affects nothing.
I'm going to update this if there are any problems throughout the case's lifespan.
I wish I could say I'm blown away by the quality of this case, but the truth is its a level of quality I've come to expect from Fractal Design. As usual, everything is well thought out and designed. Cable management was especially easy. The case fits my 3 fan ASUS GTX 1080 just fine, which is a very long card. However, it's close enough to where I recommend looking into whether or not your GPU will fit in the case.
My only gripe with the case is that you cannot put a 140mm fan in the back, which seems like something FD could have incorporated by making the case a bit wider.
Awesome case, easy to build in and is very aesthetically pleasing. I switched from an NZXT h500i to this case mainly because the airflow in the h500i is terrible if you have a 240m radiator. With this case I was able to have a top mounted rad, as well as add additional fans to it for max airflow. The fans are very reasonably priced to add more. Came with two fans preinstalled, the outtake and one intake. I ordered two extras of the stock fans which themselves are quiet and get the job done. The airflow is incredible and well worth it. Since owning my parts I haven't seen better temps. My old case would take all of 10 minutes for the GPU fans to ramp up into jet engine turbo mode because the case would just fill with hot air. Since using this case I haven't heard anything but a little fan noise once in awhile when everything is under load.
This case is awesome. I wouldn't pay $100+ for it, but getting on sale for $65-80 is a great value for sure. Cable management is a breeze, all components were very easily installed. I'm not big into rgb but I do have an rgb cpu fan and trident z rgb ram, and none of the light sneaks through the front mesh so I love that. Honestly the only thing I wish was different so far was for the glass panel to sit more flush with the case. It's not bad as is, just a personal preference of mine. I will definitely look forward to having this case around long term.
