How to identify Fractal Design case generation?

broona · 4 Jul 2020 at 12:09

I've got an old Fractal Design R1, R2, R3, R4? case that I'm hoping to find a windowed side panel for, but I've got no idea which exact model it is...

Is there anything on the case to identify the generation? I'm at work at the minute so can't physically check until later, but I just wanted to give myself a head start. Cheers.

Model identifier should be above the serial number. Might have to google it

That's great, thank you.

And it's a Define R3, feel free to point me in the right direction if anyone spots a black window please.

Don't think the Define R3 had a glass window option, there was an acrylic panel for sure, it's a 10 year old case after all! Might be hard to find. I'd drop them an email and ask, there may be one kicking about the warehouse somewhere

Thanks again, I'll ping them an email, looks like they did a side panel with a window many mind ago - https://m.hexus.net/tech/items/chassis/41993-fractal-design-launches-window-side-panel-define-r3/
