Fractal Design Define R4 or even R5

 

super nice case. the newest one look really awesome.

My opinion:

 

cheap: fractal core 2300

Medium: NZXT S340

Expensive: Luxe Enthoo Pro

[Crowes]

I have an ATX Corsair Carbide 300R Mid-tower. I think it looks pretty nice and modern for a computer case, but it's not too flashy. It can also fit full-size ATX, although I'm not sure about enthusiast class boards. 

 

With the R4s and 5s, I've always thought they just look a little plain for the bit I see (the front), but they have massive amounts of storage. Another good option.

i was looking at the corsair 750d, corsair 780t or the silverstone raven rv01

I like the corsair air 540, but it is only mid atx... (but its a cube that looks great with loads of space)

i did look at that but the cube design looks a bit too wide

Define r4, r5. Nzxt h440 and s340. Tiny tom logan gave the r5,h440 and s340 his patented white gold award the only things he ever did that for in any reviews. (He does not claim the s340 because his review unit's backplates couldn't be put back on, retail units can.)

Phanteks Enthoo Pro

Corsair 750D / 450D

Corsair Air 540

NZXT H440 / S340

Fractal Design R4 / R5

enthoo luxe is the best for ur price range

[mlbguy4life]

Fractal Arc Midi r2 ........why has no one said this already.....it is an awsome case

[AlRayes_BRN]

Corsair 760T .. beautiful case

[daemonowner]

btw the OP is in NZ. Phanteks cases are not available in NZ, and shipping cases to NZ is expensive as hell.

Corsair 780T

[Spev]

i was looking at the corsair 750d, corsair 780t or the silverstone raven rv01

Are you doing more air cooling or water cooling? The 750d is made more for water cooling and although the 780t is too that one will probably be better for some air flow as it doesn't have the resistance of panels.

+1

As @spwath said, the Silverstone Raven and fortress series are awesome, unrivalled for cooling performance and with incredible looks as well.

This man has taste for cases. What do you think- get the S340 or wait for the R5 and spend 40$ more than the S340, or get the R4 now and spend 30$ more than the S340?

That decision is too difficult for me to make for someone else. Go for the s340 if you never plan on using a disc drive and you want the smallest possible atx case, yet it lacks sound dampening materials. If you don't mind the extra bulk and cost the r5 pretty much has everything anyone would need. I personally have the s340 because I move my case so often.

What the S340 doesn't support ODD devices? R5, here I come

The one thing that I would have liked to have on this case really. But I can't remember the last time I needed to use it. Just one of those things nice to have.
