Fractal Design R2 or R3

[adam_castell]

Hi,

i have pre ordered a Corasir 600T, but i wont have that untill the 25/10/10 and i am currently recieveing parts for my first build now.

so i need an interim solution, i like the look of the fractal design R2 case, but the R3 is almost here, Q****** has them due in 9 days, does anyone know if there preorder dates are correct?

when will OCUK have them?

might be worth posting in the OcUK Customer Service forum, under pre sales queries.

cheers

I'd remove the competitor name least you incur wrath of a mod...

done

if its merely a stop gap I wouldnt spend too much, Id just get a cheap coolermaster 335 for now, its ony gotta last you a few weeks, no point spending 100 quid on a temp case

i guess your right, but the R2/3 looks like such a nice case, it might even end up being better than the 600T, plus i want to see what their sound proofing materials and gadgets are like, and if i did build another PC, which is possible, then i will have a nice case sitting there ready.

by the way, a silent case is for me is very important for my needs.

do cases have much resale value?

what will happen to R2 cost once the R3 is released?

OCUK expect R3 on the 17th Sept

Fractal looks great but i think it might be a little too short for future-proofing

to short for what?
