Fractal Design Focus 2, schwarz, Glasfenster

Gute & günstige Grundversion mit vielen Upgrade-Möglichkeiten

Günstiger Preis, günstige Vorausetzungen für eine effektive Kühlung und dazu auch noch RGB-Lüfter: Das ist die Formel, mit der Fractal Design das Focus 2 zum Verkaufserfolg machen will. Wir prüfen im Test des Midi-Towers, ob dieser Plan aufgehen kann.

This time, we’re checking out the Fractal Design Focus 2, a successor of the Focus G chassis (ATX compatible), which we reviewed back in 2017. A Mini version was also available, dedicated to the mATX motherboards. The Fractal Design Focus 2 appears to have changed quite a lot from the original. You can now install a 360 mm radiator in the front location, where a maximum of 280 mm was available previously (and the 5.25” bay had to be removed, without that – there was a place for a 240 mm radiator). For the top, it’s again 240 mm, the same for the rear where 120 mm would fit. As for the fans’ compatibility - the 2x120/140 mm at the top and 120 mm at the back stayed the same. From the things that have changed - you can mount even three 120 mm at the front (or two 140 mm – and they’re provided) instead of 2x120/140 mm like it was in Focus G.

The Fractal Design Focus 2 is the successor to the Focus G, which was released over 4 years ago. As such that family of cases has been ripe for an update and the Focus 2 being reviewed today is meant to bring with it all the modern touches that Fractal Design envisions a $70-80 chassis to have. Available in all black with steel panels, in black or white with a clear glass side or in black and white with ARGB elements, potential buyers have plenty to choose from as well.
