Define XL USB 3.0 Tower case Black Pearl by Fractal Design


The XL is pre-fitted with dense noise absorbing bitumen material, covered with a soft foam texture. This material effectively absorbs noise generated by the components and fans inside. Paired with other noise preventing features such as a covered top panel with a 180mm fan mounted with an angle to blow out air in the rear and silicone grommets for hard drive mounting, the XL truly excels in delivering a low noise solution.


Another unique feature with the XL is the ModuVent™ feature, inherited from the Define R2/R3 case. This is a cover fitted with noise absorbing material, mounted in the side panel fan hole, allowing the user to choose between an optimal low noise level, having the cover mounted or optimal airflow by removing the cover and mounting a fan for intake.

Silent Series R2 120mm fan by Fractal Design

 

These fans have been specifically developed to deliver significant airflow while maintaining low noise levels. Silent Series R2 fans are available in sizes from 40mm up to 140mm.


All new Silent Series R2 fans are equipped with high performance hydraulic bearings, increasing both fan performance and reliability. The 120mm and 140mm fans come with a low-speed adapter, which lets you choose between two different rotation speeds without a separate fan controller. Each fan 60mm and larger is packaged with both 4 metal screws and 4 rubber screws to ensure maximum fan-mounting options. Using the rubber screws allows mechanical decoupling from the case itself, reducing vibrations and decreasing the noise level (40 and 50mm feature metal mounting screws only).

FoMCON schedule part 1

AUTHOR:

DATE:

COMMENTS:

A couple of editions ago, we started the concept of FoMCON, a small scale gaming venue that allows companies to showcase their newest games, gadgets, hardware and other PC equipment, and/or support competitions for their games. This edition is no different, as there will be a couple of companies present with cool activities and competitions!

 

This gaming venue takes place at the same time as our LAN event and visiting is free of charge.

 

The following is a small list of the attending partners, as well as some important dates such as the start of a couple of competitions and activities. In the coming days we will announce part 2 of our schedule with some more partners who attend FoMCON!

 

 

 

 

Electronic Arts is an international game developer and publisher of dozens of games. One of the biggest game companies will be present at Frag-o-Matic! You can find their booth next to the compo desk. The booth is divided in a gaming zone and a lounge zone. In the lounge zone you can relax in some comfortable seats and bean bags after your gaming sessions, or you can read through a couple of magazines.

In the gaming zone you can play several unreleased or just released titles:

  • Need for Speed: Most Wanted: playable during the entire weekend
  • FIFA13: playable on Saturday from 11h until 19h and on Sunday from 11h until 17h
  • BF3: playable during the entire weekend

The game Medal of Honor: Warfighter will get a unique place on the stage between the Tones and Gamegear stands! This space will be turned into a real Medal of Honor-styled area. We are organizing an exclusive Benelux-first MoH-WF competition with 16 teams who battle for a limited edition of the game and tons of goodies! At the moment there is only 1 team spot left, so hurry up if you want to participate!
 
In the meanwhile, all FoM participants will get to play the game at various free playing periods.
 
 
Next to that, Electronic Arts provides a huge amount of goodies which we can divide as prizes for various fun competitions. EA is also the main sponsor for the EA Battlefield 3 competition with a nice prize bundle with a total worth of €2000!

Tones.be is a known Belgian PC shop that will be attending Frag-o-Matic again. Contrary to last time, they will scale back on the selling part of their presence on FoM, and they will instead fully go for organizing lots of activities for our participants! You'll be able to test the new 3D Vision Surround on a couple of games, among other things. 
 
Tones also provides 10 high-end PC's that will be used on Saturday to play the FIFA competition. On Sunday, these PC's will be moved to the main stage, and several game finals will be played on them.
 
Next to that, they have cooperated with EA to provide the MoH booth with 10 high-end army-styled PC's!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Gamegear.be is a known FoM partner who have worked with FoM for several years already. You'll be able to discover all the latest headsets, keyboards and mousepads! 

You'll also be able to participate in the Xbox360 Mortal Kombat competition at the Gamegear booth, which has great prizes!
 
  • Start of the Mortal Kombat competition: Saturday at 16h!

The known magazines PC Magazine and Clickx will be available for all of our participants. You can find them on different locations across the hall like the entrance, EA Lounge, etc.

 




[UPDATE] Medal of Honor: WF

AUTHOR:

DATE:

COMMENTS:

In less than two hours the maximum team limit was already reached for the exclusive Medal of Honor: Warfighter competition! Participants will be able to showcase their skills in the gamemode called Homerun.

 

 

Homerun is a gametype where there are two teams: the attackers and the defenders. Both teams have different objectives to accomplish:

  • Attackers win the round when they eliminate the entire enemy team or if they can retrieve the flag from the enemy base and bring it to the attacker home base.
  • Defenders win a round if they eliminate the entire enemy team or fend off the enemy team until the round is over.
 
The winners of this competition will take home a limited edition of the game (Game + T-shirt + beta access for Battlefield 4) and an awesome Medal of Honor: Warfighter steelbook! The second place will receive a steelbook and a T-shirt, and the 3rd place also takes home a T-shirt.
 
 
Next to those extra goodies like the steelbooks, we also have more good news! After reviewing our time schedule, we have decided to open up registrations again to a maximum of 16 teams! This means that the First 6 teams who register will also play in a Benelux-first multiplayer game of Medal of Honor: Warfighter!
 
We've published a small set of rules on the MoH:WF compo page. These rules are based on matches that were played at Gamescom. Because we can only have people play the matches when an EA employee is present, the play times are limited: Saturday from 12h until 19h and Sunday from 11h30 until 15h30.
 
 
Participants can review everything at: http://www.fom.be/compos/view/28
 
The full time schedule will be announced on Friday evening.
 
 
Below is a short video explaining the game mode Homerun:
 
 
 
 
 
 
To give everyone a chance at playing this new game as one of the first players, there will be several play moments open to the public at selected time periods. These playing periods will be communicated via our beamers and will also be announced several times through the microphone and speaker system.

 fractal_400_01


Define XL USB 3.0 Tower case 

 

The XL is pre-fitted with dense noise absorbing bitumen material, covered with a soft foam texture. This material effectively absorbs noise generated by the components and fans inside. Paired with other noise preventing features such as a covered top panel with a 180mm fan mounted with an angle to blow out air in the rear and silicone grommets for hard drive mounting, the XL truly excels in delivering a low noise solution.

 

An important feature of the XL is the division into three thermal chamber designs. This enables the user to freely choose the best thermal configuration suited for his or her needs.

 

Another unique feature with the XL is the ModuVent™ feature, inherited from the Define R2/R3 case. This is a cover fitted with noise absorbing material, mounted in the side panel fan hole, allowing the user to choose between an optimal low noise level, having the cover mounted or optimal airflow by removing the cover and mounting a fan for intake.

 


Apart from all these features, XL also offers excellent cable routing possibilities, with large holes and well enough space for cables behind the M/B plate. The cable routing holes are covered with silicone covers, effectively hiding the cable clutter.
A fan controller, which can be mounted in an expansion slot in the rear, is included. It can control up to three fans with one knob.

They each win a Battlefield 3 Premium code (total value: €200).

Last tickets for FoM 14.1

AUTHOR:

COMMENTS:

Friday September 7th is the last day that you can pay a late entry ticket through bank transfer. After Friday, you can only pay your late entry ticket through Paypal until September 11th.

 

If there are still empty places left, than you can buy a ticket when you arrive at FoM at the entry for 50 EUR.

 

Remark: some clans think that it is not possible anymore to sit next to each other. This is wrong. If you take a free seat then the locked seat next to it will be unlocked automatically. This way, there are still some rows where clans can sit next to each other. If you get lost somehow in the check/in procedure and you are not able to pick the seats that you want, just send a mail to info@fom.be and we will fix it for you.

 

Visitors. That means people without PC or portable, who are not taking part in the competitions, don't need a ticket. They just need to pass registration at the entrance. Visitors are not allowed to stay during the night (after the stage acts).

Stand-up comedian William Boeva:


william_400


Only 1m37 tall on his left side and 1m42 tall on his right side William Boeva is the funniest dwarf of the Benelux! Armed with a 5cm big quiff, a hip replacement and lots of jokes he went to the comedy cafe called The Joker in Antwerp (2009) although with a bad ending. Nonetheless he wanted more after his first appearance!

 

Attending the Get up, Stand up' initative for young comedians in 2010 he managed to win the 123 Comedy Award and became the public favorite at the Culture Comedy Award and staged during one of Belgium's biggest music festivals called Pukkelpop.

After his many achievements in 2010 William is a well known comedian in Belgium and is one of the favorite guests during line-up programs in the stand-up comedy circuit.

 

With a bigger mouth than his length William gives his own view of the world. He wants that the people get to know his species cause maybe there aren't that many differences between.

 

Make sure to have a look at his website: http://www.williamboeva.be/ and follow him on his Facebook.

 

Free noise-blocking ear plugs will be available at the helpdesk during the special acts. We also encourage the participants to bring a good headset with them. Also, tournaments will stop during the special acts, as far as possible. No entrance fee for visitors (without pc) at FoM, only a registration at the entrance.

Same world class performance, same amazing customization options, now you just need to configure the mouse thru SteelSeries Engine instead of doing via the LCD menu system. And Sensei [RAW] is available in 2 versions: one with rubberized soft-touch surface, one with smooth glossy surface - pick your favorite feel and start fragging.
