The ARC Mini R2 has room for two 5.25" drives, even though optical drive market is slowly being abandoned by most drive manufacturers it still remains a requirement to install most software.

The front bezel is alike the Corsair Obsidian series (clickable), two gentle pushes allow fast and easy access to the front dust filter and the Silent Series 120mm R2 Fan. Even though this is a mini case, there's still room for an optional second 120mm Fan to enhance the ventilation. Two other Fans are included: one Silent Series R2 120mm to expel the heat in the back; a 140mm version is used to avoid that any heat remains trapped in the upper part of the case.

All Fans are part of the Silent Series, equipped with a hydraulic bearing, for good airflow yet at a minimalistic noise level. Another touch of class are the sleeved Fan cables. The black and white accents are carried through the fans too. Did we already mention Fractal cases look classy?
