YESSS!!! fractal define r4 is out!

He doesn't edit anything. Stupidly annoying. Could do all of that in less than 5 minutes... EASILY.

But nice case though, I have the R3.
 
I almost fell asleep watching this, defo skipped some parts. Looks like a great case for the price though. Was reading a couple of other reviews of it and they generally seem to be very positive about it. More of an improved version of the R3 rather then a revolutionary new design. 3 speed Fan controller now as well which is great. Wish I'd waited for this instead of getting my P280 :(
 
Some of us like the rambling style he has. I don't like fast paced reviews, I often watch his stuff with my tea, just chilling out eating and listening to 40mins of chatting about some nice case or other.

Yeah that's the way he does it. Doesn't bother me. If' I'm gonna be spending £100 on a case, it's worth 40 mins of my time.
 
What improvements does it have over the R3? I don't have an R3 so wouldn't know. Currently using a Fractal XL but would like to downsize eventually :)
 
hehe i love his case reviews they are the best :)
and i love that case! all 140 fans, i like the removable at the front, the fan controller, its going to win a lot of awards^^
tho mebe not with watercooling monkies

fractal make one in all alu silver/white wow would look so nice, id swap family members for one
 
His reviews are a matter of taste but are very in depth and he does cover about everything, of course you do get some subjective opinions about certain brands that he doesnt like for whatever reason.

His review is complete and if you were wanting to buy the case to do more than just whack your standard components in it and turn it on then it is helpful.

If however you just want a bog standard case that will take your bog standard components then that case isnt for you and neither is the review a £30 case would work well for you.
 
Also I was disappointed the case didnt support a h100 and the watercooling options are limited too without modding its a cracking case for the money but like a lot of people was hoping fractal would expand and give us another product with a similar impact to the r3.
 
Checked out the Bit Tech review. I may consider moving from the XL to the R4 when I have time and money to burn.

Just what the hell would I do with the giant XL?

How come?

I just checked out the bit tech reveiw, looks nice, im not blown away though.

It would mean the case manufacturer could either put more hard drive slots in, or make the case more compact, and would mean they could make the front flat without a flap (although you'd have to sacrifice the front fans to do that). Would be cool :)

Basically it would give them quite a bit more room to do something cool with.

I haven't had a DVD drive in my PC for months now and don't have a fan controller.
