Alternative to R3

Yeoo · 12 Sep 2011 at 21:19

I really like the White R3, Understated design, Nice white and black colourway, and general HDD rack etc..

The problem is everyone is hating on the build quality! is there any good alternatives? Im not really into the "Gamer" style cases. Sleek Styling is my thing

Thanks in Advance

3x times the cost, nice though! but i cant justify that kinda money on a case

JayyCee · 12 Sep 2011 at 21:50

I had a CM 690 awhile back and I had no problem with build quality of that but I cannot comment on this case

Or for a shade more, Corsair 650D. In that price range nothing suitably beats it IMO for packing in features, build quality and room to "operate".

Thanks guys, i did really like the R3 in white but he piano black look will look good also.. match my tv

.... Any first hand experience/complaints about this case? It is looking like a winner

Aren't Fractal redesigning them at the moment to include USB 3.0?

NZXT H2, in white or black.

Got a Define XL, solid case just looks like it was dropped in the factory

Other than that it would have been a perfect 10/10 case (and this is from someone whos cases in the last 3 years include an Antec 900, Coolermaster Cosmos S, Coolermaster HAF 932).

silverstone raven 3 at £107 delivered should not be ignored yes it's not the best looker but the cooling ability and quietness as well as other innovative features make it stand out

aesthetics are important to me, bit of the poserish type i am afraid..

wasnt Keen on the NZXT to be honest watched the Tiny Tom Logan review

That review was nitpicking to the max, the guy's an idiot.

What about the Antec p183? The case the R3 is clearly imitating..Oh and the quality control for Antecs are a lot better to.

I had a P182 and loved the case.
