Model overview based on user reviews  
The Fractal Design Define XL is a well-made and convenient full tower computer case, ideal for gaming setups. It supports XL-ATX motherboards and offers a spacious interior with dimensions of 559x232x560 mm, accommodating graphics cards up to 480 mm without the HDD cage. The case includes three pre-installed fans and supports additional cooling options, including liquid cooling. It features a soundproof front panel, removable HDD cage, and hidden wiring for a tidy setup. Despite its robust build and features, some users feel it is overpriced by about 5,000 rubles. The case is available in black and offers ample storage options with multiple bays and expansion slots. However, users have noted some issues with securing motherboards and installing memory due to flexions. Overall, it is a decent choice for those seeking a high-quality, feature-rich case, albeit at a premium price.
Pros

Cons

A decent case for the money, it would really cost 5 thousand rubles less!!

Excellent case for installing x10dri-o motherboard. Not all the screws were installed for the board.
Well made, everything is neat and convenient. As it should be for that kind of money. I bought it for 8896 rubles.
I haven't fully secured the motherboard, I'm installing the memory carefully, there are flexions.
