Unfortunately, this case doesn’t come with any hinges of sorts as we saw in the Phanteks Enthoo 719, so you have to pay attention when taking off this side panel as it has a bit of weight to it. Like a lot of Fractal Designs cases of late, we see a thick, scratch-resistant tempered glass panel. The side panels come off with a little bit of force and are so smooth I thought it was magnetic at first. Instead, we see the use of a little ball-shaped part of the panel that clips in place. It’s worth noting that there are no side panel thumbscrews this time. I’m not sure you could vertically mount a chunky GPU without running into clearance issues, and these slots may be better suited for a turbo blower card or a water-cooled GPU. For expansion, you get a fairly common seven slots, but there is also the inclusion of two vertical slots.
You can easily mount an AIO cooler on the front too, with space for radiators up to 360mm in length.Įverything at the back of the Vector RS case is pretty standard, and we see the third and final pre-installed Dynamic X2 140mm fan here. If you wanted to mount 120mm fans on the front, it would still only take a total of three. Of course, this case comes with 2 x 140 mm fans (Dynamic X2 GP-14) installed on the front, but there is room for a third. On the subject of air, the front panel is easily removed to reveal space for fans. There are ventilation grills along either side of the front panel for airflow to compensate for the glass panel and closed-off The I/0 ports are located on the top, leaving the front of the case completely clean. The minimalist approach on the design is broken up with a vein of RGB running vertically up the front and all the way to the back, separating the tempered glass from the plastic chassis. The front is where we see the angular profile certainly an acquired taste, but it does give the chassis a sleek, simplistic look. The Vector RS is mostly comprised of steel and plastic, shipping with three glass panels. This case, as mentioned, is a refresh, but the outside of the chassis has seen the most design changes.
You can go even darker though with Fractal offering a ‘Dark’ version, which is identical except the tempered glass features a heavier tint. The Vector RS is labeled ‘Blackout’ due to its black aesthetics inside and out. Seeing the Vector RS up close with the packaging removed and I’m less skeptical about the angular front.
