Conclusion
| General | + | - | |
| The Fractal Design Core 2500 is a simple and well designed case that is quite good but has a flaws as well. Thanks to its elegant look, it can easily fit in any kind setting without raising any eyebrows but than again it is not aimed for high-end systems. Both the power supply and hard drives feature rubber grommets which should reduce the vibration noise and the interior concept offers lots of options. We would really love to see thicker side panels, which would increase the overall quality of this case. The way the case is at the moment makes it quite clear that Fractal Design is trying to keep the price low, infact the Core 2500 costs around 50 Euro. |

| Manufacturing quality / Ergonomics | + | - | |
| As we already mentioned, the build quality could be better where the use of thicker side panels would have helped a lot. The interior space come with quite a few decent features, like for instance, the switch to regulate the fan speeds. Furthermore there are plenty of option regarding ventilation and cooling in general. You can for example install radiators with different sizes. | - Cable Managment - Rheobus |

| Design | + | - | |
| The design of the Fractal Design Core 2500 is simple and clean, since almost the entire case has been painted black, except for a few white detailes like fans, HDD carriages and slot bezels. It also features a front panel plate that has been made from plastic but looks surprisingly similar to brushed aluminium. Unfortunately, one can see at a first glance, that this case has been optimized towards a low price. | - Design |

| Recommendation | + | - | |
| The Fractal Design Core 2500 is a rather versatile case, which can be equipped with a vast variety of products. Therefore you can easily build a gaming system or even an office PC with this enclosure. As we already mentioned this case is listed on Geizhals at 50 Euro excluding shipping costs. | -
