Define R5 Blackout color vs Normal R5 Black color.

[CurlyCucumber]

Hey guys.

 

So, I want to buy the Define R5 Blackout edition. The only thing is, I don't want the tinted window. So, my plan is to buy the Blackout, and if the window is too tinted and smokey, I was gonna buy a normal r5 black side panel, since those windows aren't smokey and are clear.

 

Only thing is, are the blacks two different colors? Does anyone know? And does anyone know if the window in the Blackout is super smokey? Or is it just slightly tinted?

 

Thank you!

I think the Blackout has the smoked window and that's all.

So the black colors are the same? The Blackout does come with black fans, as well as black PCI brackets, etc. I just need to make sure they aren't different shades of dark grey/black.

Looks like it. I've been wanting to get the Define Black Windowed but, aside from a few accents being black, there's nothing too drastic. I kinda wish they made the blackout have a clear window.

I wish they did too! It sucked finding out they used tinted windows for the blackout.

Can you survive if you get the Black? Or better yet you can call Fractal and ask if they'll sell or send you some black PCIe brackets.
