Fractal Design Define R4 Cases, Arctic White (FD-CA-DEF-R4-WH-W)

I love this case even though I ordered the wrong one. I meant to order the windowless version for the extra fan on the side but I realized my mistake when it had already shipped. Thinking about it now, however, its probably better that I dont have the fan on the side because I live in a dusty area and it would be harder to implement dust control on the side fan without having it look out of place or slapped on.The case is pretty hefty and the vibration isolators for the psu and hdds are a nice touch. The fan filters look kind of flimsy but I'm gonna put a pantyhose over them for anyway dust control. The fans themselves are quiet and big, and even the two stock fans by themselves provide great airflow but I'm going to buy a few more quiet fans to increase airflow a bit. Overall it makes for a very quiet case and sometimes I wonder if its even on.The design is awesome. Its simple yet elegant and the paint job is top notch. I had been looking for a white color case to match my decor for some time but all the cases I found were tacky looking or too expensive. This case fit the bill of what I was looking for perfectly and it didn't break the bank.

This is a really, really excellent case just to state that at the outset. Cable management was a breeze, super easy to assemble and it looks really, really slick. The only trouble is the giant glowing power button attracts my cat like moth to a flame and she's learned to turn my computer off to get attention. I would recommend this case if you either don't have a cat or possibly have a cat less diabolical than mine.

This came with a cracked side panel, which is not cool. It still works great, and the side panel still looks cool.

This is my first Fractal Design case , and I must say this is a very elegant design .I'm building a gaming rig , but I didn't want to look like some teenager got a hold of my project and installed a whole bunch of led lighting or something that looks like it came from outer space .I found this in amazon for great price , I mean super great price well under 100.00 .It fit the bill , for want I was looking for . It's a simple , sleek design but don't let that fool you , this case have plenty of gut and performance .* 2 front 140mm fans options , drop in no need for screw ( 240mm radiator set up can be mounted)* 2 top 140mm or 120mm fans options (a 240mm radiator set up can be mount here as well)* 1 bottom of the case 140mm or 120mm fan option* 1 rear of the case 140 mm or 120mm fan option* A fans controller built-in ( x3 fans extension )* 2 of the 3 hard drive rack are removable ( I remove the bottom two since I'm only running one hard drive , this leave my two front 140 mm fans to free flow with no obstruction , my MSI GTX 660 graphic card love this .) All the panel have sound deadening material except the rear , this really help a lot when you have a lot of loud fans . Plenty of screws are included as well for your mb , ps , hd and fansThis a very well built case . I love the fact that it looks simple yet very elegant .

The product features great cable management through multiple large grommets and also has pci expansion slots for large graphics cards. The case also features sound dampening fiber on the removable panels, pretty cool. Multiple driver trays for hard drives and ssds. My only complaint would be the amount of dust that collects on the front filter; though that might just be a function of the filter itself.

So far I have a black one of these with the window and my brother has the white one with the window. We both love these cases as they just look so elegant. They make your build, no matter what you have inside, seem like a high quality build. And the cable routing inside the case is just fantastic. In fact, you can't see a wire in either one of our cases.I had just got through building a brand new PC in an Antec case. Then I found this case. I got this Fractal Design Define R4 and swopped all my parts from that other case it.It also fits 120mm, 140mm, or 240mm radiators. I have my 240mm radiator in the front of the case. I just removed the HDD cages and put an SSD and 2.5 inch HDD behind the motherboard where you can mount 2 2.5 inch drives.And the case is also really quite. It also has USB 3.0, Audio, and Mic on the front of the case which is always a must.

I originally planned on doing a super low budget build for my first try. I ended up splurging a bit and getting some quality components. One thing that I just had to have was this case. I love the minimal look of it. It took me awhile to decide whether to go with the window or not, and I'm glad I did. I have the case right next to me on the desk and I like seeing inside of it. I really dig the fact that it's white and has a clean, basic appearance. When I was shopping around, this was the only case I was considering. Something I wasn't necessarily looking for, but ended up appreciating was how quiet the case is.I do have a couple gripes. The front of the case is plastic. I have concerns about the plastic door surviving years from now, with the possibility of accidents breaking it. Especially since you have to open it to access the drive slots it will be opened and closed frequently. It matches the finish of the rest of the case fairly well, but you can tell it's plastic and a slightly different tint of white just by looking at it. If it was metal and had the same finish as the rest of the case I'd be a happy camper.My other little gripe is that the holes for the standoffs were too small. I got most of them in just fine but had to leave a few out because they were not going in. It's not an issue of threading the standoff properly, it's the paint. The paint seems to have settled in some of the holes.Overall I love this case. If I was starting over I'd get it again. It made my first build a breeze.
