Monkey forgot to ask didnt you try the PS07 after the tj08? If you did was it better than the tj08 for air cooling?

Nah - was thinking about it, but went for the 650D instead. Wanted something a little bigger in the end.

The TJ08 is good for air cooling. The air penetrator fans are great.

Thanks again monkey one last thing would a gigabyte 680 WF gpu fit in the TJ08 ok? Or would I be better going for a gpu that exhausts out the back?

Would fit fine - personally though I prefer rear exhausting GPUs, but they can tend to be a little louder.

Yeah was thinking might be better having heat going out as its such a small case so might go for the 670 ftw

I got a random knock at the door after work today and was told it was for me :/ Had no idea as the panel was out of stock and I hadn't been told a damn thing, but still...

Closer...

Going to grab some white Bitfenix LED cables and stick those it and I think it should look rather nice.

OH COME ON.....
After watching the video, its basically the midi, with better front panel mounting for fans, better front dust filter mechanism , the windowed side panel + the fan thing on the front + moar usb 3! + can remove all hard drive bays without drilling!
Going to send my midi back -_- was about to buy a window....
Its got the bubble in the roof and very stiff panels, so...good enough excuse to send it back.

Time to put my comp back in my other case....;p

I can wait till march.

I like it, it's an improvement, but not a total makeover which I like. If I was to buy one now I would get the R2 over my current Midi, especially since it has a side window.

I like the SSD mounts behind the motherboard and the fan controller integrated is a nice touch. Wish they would sort out their consistency and get a better reputation.

Sorry if I bump this and its too old, but, don't ask don't get.

Can someone trust me where you're buying the sidepanels from?

If you could, it'd be much appreciated.

The Fractal Design Define R4 Window Panel will fit the Arc Midi, and you can find those.

Getting the Arc Midi Window Panel is impossible IIRC.
