what do you think of the fractal s2 vision RGB

[Smackaroy]

i personally really like the case it's my favorite case with RGB and we know that gives 30% more fps buuuuuuuuut it is very expensive. so what are your opinions?   

[LukeSavenije]

Great frame/design, but $240 is too much. The R6 and S2 are literally half the price (when on sale) so for me, all the extra TG and RGB isnt worth it (plus the case is significantly louder with all 4 fans at full speed according to GN)

It isn’t Phanteks...

but for real, just get any other Fractal case and put some RGB fans in it. 

All of their cases are retooled versions of the R6

it also has more glass but i see your point ill probley get the s2 save $100 i already have some fans not rgb but have leds on them

Lian-Li's O11 Dynamic takes the cake for me. It's really nice and I don't think anything can beat it for an ATX chassis

I agree they have a basic case concept and most seem a derivative of it.  Not bad or good.

 

This case has the drawback of losing the glass top when using a top mounted radiator too.  IMO it's way overpriced.

Overpriced.

I still wanna do some kind of custom watercooling but I'm still way too poor. 

dreams of a custom distro/res block for the front panel

Yeah, I think it's being touted as a the Ferrari of cases in their lineup.  A one-off where the price has no bearing on value, just a high price for a case they probably won't make again.

but looks are subjective someone might prefer the look of a big thick block of aluminum 

[Sychic]

you'd probably be better with a Corsiar 500D RGB SE. $250 for a large case with a commander pro and 3 light loops included

but who likes tan and brown fans

[Blademaster91]

I'm sure its a high quality case, but IMO its overpriced although i'm not a fan of glass cases. I prefer performance over some flashy RGB lights.

or you just get a drp4 if you don't like the color

 

i'm voting for the cooler master h500(p/m/-)

i was drawn to the case because i really like the r6 and i wanted a r6 with RGB and i can afford it just but ill save the $100 and save that to get a cpu upgrade or something that seems like the best thing to do
