How to - Define 7 / Define 7 XL Multibracket Flexibility

Whoever decided to show the door opening from the front needs to be talked to. There is no indication either here or in the manual that there are three hard to notice tabs in the back to squeeze

The multi bracket should have been in the box of parts, along with the other hard drive cages.

Clear video but that music needs reconsidering.

The r6 let me just drop in a 3.5 without any fuss

This requires me to practically take the entire case apart just to get to this ugh

The amount of hassle to get to this vs the r6 which let you just effortlessly clip some drives on the back is surreal

If your hard drive goes out … lol you’ve got to disassemble the whole damn case to get to it - wtf were you guys thinking?

If you just needed to mount a specific bracket that you could then pop a rubber shoed hard drive onto, that would make sense because the bulk of the work would be done, but if you want to keep the plastic shield to avoid dust, you’ve got to do all of this again!

How did you mount the bracket w/ the pump/reservoir onto the case floor? From what I understand, that is a flat panel of plastic with no holes or inserts.

Some VERY weird design choices here bij Fractal.
If you already mounted a 280 or 420 radiator in the FRONT of the case it's impossible to remove the plastic cover.
Removing the plastic cover is needed to access the Multibracket screws. If you can't reach the screws you can't unscrew the Multibrackets and you can't use them at all!
The plastic cover should have been inverted in my opinion, it would still be a bit awkward to take out but not as impossible as in the scenario I described.

Also something else:
When you convert the case to Storage Layout, you can't put a 420 radiator in the top anymore.

My Meshify S2 is somewhat easier to work in, in my opinion, but I just wanted a case that supports 2 x 420 radiators.
Hope a mesh front will come out for this case soon.

What is the official name and/or part number of the multibracket? I've searched Amazon in vain for it.

Is this Multibracket compatible witch D7C's top bracket?

Who's idea was to put multibracket in case and put it that way you mist unscrew almost whole front panel to get to it?! I instaled almost all components besides HDD and now to get to multibracket I must remove it all and then put it back all over again.
