Define S

The Fractal Design Dene S lends the appearance, sound dampening technology, and support for a wide variety of compo­nents from the widely popular Dene Series, while introducing a new, innovative internal layout. The Dene S case is packed
with intelligently designed enthusiast-oriented features delivering a silent case with powerful and expansive air and liquid
cooling support, presented in a stunning Scandinavian inspired construction.

The modernized internal layout of the Dene S omits the optical drive bays, instead focusing on a clear straight airow path
and uncompromising water cooling support.

The Dene S case reaches the highest level of silent computing through strategically placed dense sound-absorbing mate­rial, multiple ModuVent™ fan vent covers and nely tuned Dynamic Series fans.

Endless possibilities.

Key Features

• Innovative internal layout, providing a perfectly straight airow path to the CPU heatsink for air cooling set ups or exten-

sive radiator mounting possibilities for water cooling set ups

• Extensive water cooling support for a case of this size; housing radiators up to 420mm in the top and 360mm in the front

possibilities
