What kind of theme are you going for and what about the Fractal Design Define R4.

Considering those cases have just about similar qualities, it all comes down to personal preference; which one you think looks best, and goes best aesthetically with your build.

A  feudal Japanese based Ninja clan theme, the r4i is an excellent case and a good choice but at this moment I ca buy theatric r2 after rebates for $ 44.00

It depends, all are good cases, it just comes down  to personal preference i.e the one that looks the best in your opinion.

Fractal would go best with the theme i think

i'm biased, but for air-flow performance the Arc Midi would be the better bet.

and if water-cooling is in the future, it is really the best bet for 2x 240 or even

360 (thick) in the roof over the other cases (skinny). but it will take some cutting

and ODD cage removal for best results. price wise they are all pretty much distro

sales sheets weekly. Ronin is a relatively new market appearance and will prolly

be on some quick sale flyers.

midi r2 , best it terms of capability ^_^

Console optimisations and how they will effect you | The difference between AMD cores and Intel cores | Memory Bus size and how it effects your VRAM usage |
How much vram do you actually need? | APUs and the future of processing | Projects: SO - here

Intel i7 5820l @ with Corsair H110 | 32GB DDR4 RAM @ 1600Mhz | XFX Radeon R9 290 @ 1.2Ghz | Corsair 600Q | Corsair TX650 | Probably too much corsair but meh should have had a Corsair SSD and RAM | 1.3TB HDD Space | Sennheiser HD598 | Beyerdynamic Custom One Pro | Blue Snowball

Thank you for the advice about what which would be the best case for  my build

Airrdeano  a person of few but many words thank you again

 

Fractal would go best with the theme i think 

Thank you for the input towards my future build

What can I  say but that the  final word comes down to me  Thank  you

+1 on the Arc Midi R2 since the plate where it hides the cables on the Ronin looks very weird imo and the C70 doesn't have that kind of black that you would want in a ninja build.

with aesthetics and functionality in mind, i'd pick the FD one. i dont personally like the look of the c70, and i only trust bitfenix for a few things, excluding cases.

 

so my opinion is the FD. like others have said, they're all relatively similar

C70 and go for a military theme, that's goodlooking and quite rare to find :>

Apparently, the Ronin is hot and loud, which probably doesn't really suit a "ninja" theme ;D Anyway I don't think you would spend your money on a case that is hot and loud in the first place. I suggest avoiding it.

I personally think the Midi R2 is the best pick out of the 3. :)

Your wisdom is noted from the shadows :ph34r:

Hmm ! I must think on the wisdom you bring :ph34r:

 

+1 on the Arc Midi R2 since the plate where it hides the cables on the Ronin looks very weird imo and the C70 doesn't have that kind of black that you would want in a ninja build.

I must contemplate on the strategy you bring to the battle :ph34r:
