I dont like stuff like that anyway. The Zalman one is okay but the Phantom looks so..... plastic. I just cant bring myself to like it.

$50 dollar range is the bitfenix survivor.  Although it is only on sale for this every once and a while.  It has nearly an inch of cable management room, and a removable hard drive cage (one of them that is)

$100 dollar range Corsair 350D  Even though I don't have one, It is one sleek case.

$150 dollar range NZXT Phantom  It has nice options (fan hub) and I like the different look of it.  Even though it is plastic for dayz.  I would probably give it a matte finish paint job

i5 4670k| Asrock H81M-ITX| EVGA Nex 650g| WD Black 500Gb| H100 with SP120s| ASUS Matrix 7970 Platinum (just sold)| Patriot Venom 1600Mhz 8Gb| Bitfenix Prodigy. Build log in progress

Their is non modular hard drive cages on the R4. Also not enough cut outs for cable management.

What are you talking about? The drive cages are modular and have been for awhile. There is also enough cable management grommets to run everything just fine.

Whats with this likeness for the R4? What makes it special? I don't see much out of it. The NZXT Source 530 would of also be a better choice if looking for the same design. But the R4 doesn't support 360Rad on top.

Can't come up with more.

It's about as simple and sleek it gets for the price point and is pretty well rounded in terms of features and quality.

But the Source 530 is 10$ cheaper and looks about the same.

I pretty strongly disagree. The Define R4 has a completely flat front door with no markings for any 5.25" bays with only a led at the top. The Define R4 is pretty much just a simple box with a simple rectangular window while the Source 530 has a good deal of angled designs with a protruding lid around the very front.

Alright not bad. I just think for myself that feature wise the Source 530 would win.

What is your favorite case below $150 OTHER than the obvious Define R4/Arc Midi R2? I may get the Define R4 but I want more options.

 

Thanks

 

I also have the same type of Dilemma, I am torn between the R4 and the 750D lol
