Define S
The Fractal Design Dene S lends the appearance, sound dampening technology, and support for a wide variety of components from the widely popular Dene Series, while introducing a new, innovative internal layout. The Dene 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 Dene S omits the optical drive bays, instead focusing on a clear straight airow path
and uncompromising water cooling support.
The Dene 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.
