Should I get the r4

[POOP With CHEESE]

so i got the nzxt phantom 410 for my bday in march and i dont like the look of it as much as i did when i wanted it. should i get the r4 even tho my dad got me the case or should i wait till next year or something... also should i get the h440 instead?

If it was a present you shouldn't waste it

If you want to change cases get th Arc Midi R2, better pick than the R4 imo.

Depends on what you want, I got the R4 for the sound dampening

just keep the 410, it's a good case

there's no point in blowing 80$ for a "better" looking case when you have a perfectly good one as is.

It might seem so, but if you get quiet fans and control them, a "performance" case is even quieter, having a hot box will only make the GPU fans run louder (which are always loud) on load. Controlled Be Quiet! Pure Wings or Arctic F12s on a case like the Arc Midi R2 or a Corsair 450D end up being very quiet and cooling the components better; that way being able to limit the GPU fan speed resulting in better acoustics.

Of course you can get a H440/R4 and put some noctuas all over it, but then you are just overspending by getting fans that can do quiet and airflow at the same time.

Keep your current case.

Unless you want to. I'm blowing 225 USD to replace my phantom 410.

It's whatever you want. IMO, the Define R4 is overhyped

[rambi36]

Keep the Phantom 410. In my experience with the Define R4, temps can be higher than usual, especially compared to the Phantom 410. If I were you, I would save up a bit and get the Phanteks Enthoo pro or luxe

Dude get the NZXT H440

Airflow in the H440 leaves a bit to be desired

That depends on opinion. I think the 410 looks a lot more aesthetically pleasing then the Define R4

lol cause you're spending a lot more for something that will be different and better in many ways other then the look. It's like going from a lexus to a Benz vs lexus to a Rolls Royce

hence the "better"

You'll be sacrificing airflow on any kind of silence optimized case.

Wait for the BeQuiet Silent Base 800 in October looks like a nice case

[Trik'Stari]

Don't get the R4, get the h440.

 

Fractal cases look like crap, it looks like you set a filter to cheapest first and threw a dart.

[Dicoray]

If you want to be like everyone else. Its a good case.
