Hi guys

Im looking to watercool my pc but my case isnt upto the task.
I currently have a fractal r3 and i love it.
So i have been looking at the r4 because it can handle 2x 240 slim rads (top and front) and it looks a lot like the r3.
Before i buy one can anyone suggest better one.

Max budget £90

Thanks in advance

a bit late now but i would have said the arc midi r2 since it supports some seriously thick 240mm rads

I've got an r4 with an H100i up top, it's a tight squeeze with fans in push/pull (you'd need a slim rad up top with a custom loop btw) but it's doing it's job very well, can't comment on the front but you'll need to keep the door open I'd imagine for decent airflow. It does intake through the vents on the side of the the front panel but like I said I can't comment on using it with water.

Other than that it's a great case, if you remove the middle HDD cage then you'll have tons of room for a pump to sit on.

If you need a fan controller then it's touch screen only as the door won't shut with dials there, UNLESS! you get a scythe kaze master 2, as the dials click into the front of the controller flush. I've got one on order, so If you're interested then I'll let you know what it's like. And it's only £35

Get some pics up when you've got it all built up, I'd like to see it with a rad in the front.
