[OC3D] Fractal Designs R4 Review

[sibeer]

Take great case + Improve = Awesome. Not enough to make me replace my R2 or R3, but I know what the next system is likely to arrive in.

​Still lacking a window - an option would be nice.

Tom, whilst I do like your video reviews, I find that your English in this review (perhaps others too, I haven't been around enough to see any) is rather poor and it isn't how I remember it being.

Just watched the whole video and I have no idea what you are on about? Good review imo, was looking at getting the R3 for uni, now I'll probably be getting the R4 .

​Still lacking a window - an option would be nice.

I've seen a US based retailer listing the R4 as available with either a standard side panel or a windowed panel. Given that Fractal have announced that a windowed panel will soon be available for the R3, they must surely do the same for the R4 shortly.

I've just ordered a standard black R4 myself, with the intention of getting a window panel as/when they become available.

Just bought the R3

Happy with it though and the R4 box is a lot bigger than the R3.

Any word on when Aria will be stocking these?

Oooh, a fair bit cheaper than competitors, any idea when the white model is coming in?

They have not officially released the white one yet dude

I loved my R3, I don't feel this deserved to be the R4 though. I found the R3 a little tight behind the motherboard for the 24-pin, and the grommets were a little loose - welcome the change, and will probably have an R4 when I build a winter PC unless ChrisGlobe convinces me I need a CM.

Yeah the loose grommets were a pain when building, apart from that a great case. I've not long had the R3 as well, feel slightly miffed a new version is out already! Ah well, such if life.
