This is my second Fractal Design based build. The 7 Compact is a extremely well designed case that was very easy to build in.However the included paperwork was lacking in small details such as how to take off the front panel (it has round tabs) but it didn't take me more than 5 minutes to work it all out.The resulting PC is extremely quiet.

Good case. Looks good. Works well. Fits ATX, micro ATX, and ITX. The inner top comes off (2 screws) to allow easy working around the top of the mainboard. Makes cabling easy. Screwless side panels and top. USB C socket up front is a plus. Another 5mm space at the back for cables would have been great but it's still OK. No disk access light and the power on light is a bit anemic.

Almost everything is snap-on which makes it easy to access and work with.Good all around with what you expect from premium-grade case: cable management, many options for fan/storage mounting, soundproofing, dust filters.

Pros: Really neat and compact case. If you've not got too many 3.5" or 5.25" drives it makes perfect sense. Probably better suited to mATX board but will fit ATXCons: A tiny bit more room for cables at the back would be nice. Also a bit more breathability at the front. Airflow is a bit restricted.
It was very easy to build a gaming computer on this case. I also like that its quite invisible and quiet in the office even though its relatively large case.
Really liking this case - runs super quiet and looks smart and unassuming. The easy-release side panels are really useful for quick inspections/changes to the system inside. Cable routing is very good with enough space for my build in the back.Case is well made and feels very solidOnly drawbacks to the case is that it could use some more accessibility for front fan cables to route through the back to the mobo, as I ran into some small issues installing.Also lacks a bit of compatibility with some motherboards and USB 3.0 ports if the port is at a 90 degree angle (example being some of the MSI ATX X570 boards) this makes it difficult to install the front panel USB 3.0
Got this case because I had a similar one many years ago by Fractal and after trying a gaming laptop for a few years, the first thing I noticed was how loud laptops were! I can sleep in the same room with this case and PC running, super quiet (even with 2 additional fans installed) and it has lots of cable management options that made installing PSU and Mobo pretty easy. I personally like the simple clean look, not a fan of glass panels. Only downside is that it's heavy (10kg) so if you like going to LANs, wouldn't recommend for you :)
I'm sure it's a fine case, but I didn't notice the word "compact" in the description, so could not fit my optical drive nor all of my HDs, so I had to return it. (costing me just shy of £20). On the other hand, the non-compact version which I now have, is a good case, albeit one of the most difficult cases I've used - the instructions for rearranging it into the server configuration took some working out and the PSU tunnel is a pain to use as you can't get to the back of the PSU once it is in place.
