This is what I noted is wrong with my Fractual R2
*No fan controller to support the 3-4 fans thats needed
*not enough space behind the other side of the case for decent cable managment (even with an ax850 flatcables!)
*reset button (no biggy)
*top cable managment hole for 4-8pin cpu is pointless since its cut off and inaccessable due to design.
*Longer VGA cards like 5970 or dual gpus may not fit or tight squeeze.
*bottom 120mm fan is in way of p/s cables, so has to either overlap or be removed.
Theres proberly more cons, but looking at even still R2 was the best case ive owned and most silent as well, and ive had lian lis upto £150 shudder!
I bet most of the issues are resolved however I feel the R3 needs more space at front for longer VGA cards and more space at bottom and other side of case for better cable managment.....which R3 may not have?
Either way im gonna go with Fractual XL it maybe slightly more noisy due to the top fan but ill replace it
