Introducing the Define 7 Compact

Re-defining efficiency

A cleaner look

Brushed aluminum front and interchangeable side panels give a very clean look

Compact yet spacious

The versatile layout of the Define 7 Compact allows you to maximize the potential of the small footprint with full-size ATX hardware to meet your exact needs. For example, you can easily fit GPUs up to 360 mm with a 240 mm radiator in the top – or up to 360/280 mm front radiators with GPUs under 305 mm.

  • Brushed aluminum front and top-latching side panels offer a clean sophisticated look

  • Top panel effortlessly swaps from solid steel to filtered ventilation

  • 1x 120 mm and 1x 140 mm Dynamic X2 fans included

  • Ventilated PSU shroud with two-part removable cover for optimal coverage and front radiator support
