But linus's video is wayyyyy more entertaining xD not to mention i think linus has more experience when compared to dimitri (HWC host)

 

Yea, but Dmitry put's ALOT of effort into his case reviews. They are kind of his signature thing.

And his videos looks really professional! I cant imagine the amount of time he spends editing xD

LOVING the ceiling rad mount offset, not a lot of midtowers can do push/pull. Props to Fractal for that specific design implementation and the modular drive configuration, looks like I'm going to buy myself a windowed R5. =D

like the front access for the bottom filter, also that they kept the clean look of the R series, the awesome cable management (a little OCD about cable management, spent 4 hours on cable management for my current case and planning on buying a corsair RM750 primarily for the flat 24-pin connector) and all the modularity. Also the new interchangeable hinges are a plus for me, do regret the fact the front panel is no longer closed with magnets. Only real down side I see is that so far they haven't announced any dust cover for the top, if they would give the option to buy for instance a magnetic top dust cover for the case it would be my absolute dream case I think, also wished they would go for the 1-3-5 combination for HDD brackets for greater modularity to your own needs and maybe give the top a little more room for radiators, also had hoped for a way to integrate sliding mounting points for the top similar to the back ones, but would of course have impacted the beautiful design which is a mayor plus for this case as I said, overall though was looking for an upgrade from my Coolermaster N600 that I started with when I decided to get more serious about my pc

unable to watch any video about it so far, but least said, it looks interesting

May the light have your back and your ISO low.

Hell yes, just like that. Very impressed by the flexability of mounting radiators, this case is definitely suitable for watercooling.

Why would you want push-pull? The gained cooling effect is barely outside the margin of error for high-end thermal sensors.

Since in my case the top rad is only the exhaust, airflow out is improved even though the ambient temp improvement doesn't show in the chip sensors.

Except it's not. You're moving the same amount of air through the same amount of space pretty much, just a hair more really. Linus has a long video on this.

Different styles, apple and orange. But I find they are both very good. Big thumbs up for both.  :lol:

According to scan.co.uk the item is due in tomorrow and they are charging more than the RRP it seems. Although the RRP is still unclear a few reviewers mentions £82.99 for normal, £89.99 Windowed with VAT. Seems about right.
