Does the graphics card bend so hardcore or is it just a bad angle? Maybe put a stand in there. I think it would benefit the esthetics more than it would harm them. Put like a black telescope fitting in there, just for looks.

 

Otherwise awesome, sleak looking build.

Its just the angle, but adding some support shouldn't hurt. Link for a black telescope fitting?

I thought of doing that, but this is my first loop, so I felt like there was less of a risk using normal tubing. I might use acrylic tubing next time.

How do you like them? Would you recommend them? How quiet are they? I actually have no experience with BeQuiet fans.

They're really quiet (rated at 18db) and when running them at 5V they're almost completely quiet. The quality is okay and moves an acceptable amount of air. Would I recommend them? Yes, at the low price of 10€ they are great.

the telescope fitting idea was only in my head and I figured that it would look stupid as you would see the threads. I found some rigid acrylic tube from primochill that would also blend in nicely and give it a more solid look.

Apart from the GPU sag that looks really good. The midplate looks really great I don't think I've seen that done in a Define R4 before.

 I might order some to support the GPU. Thanks for the idea!

Amazing rig, I really adore that middleplate. I thought of doing it in my R3 but I miss the skills needed for that.

Also, don't you think you have a bit too many exhaust fans?
