YESSS!!! fractal define r4 is out!

[Cagerty]

its apparently gonna be priced at 80 quid ;p
anand just reviewed it too, with benchmarks

Great price, I wonder when OCUK will be getting them in, Will have to ask about that.

ttl made a big faff of his r4 review, the h100 actually would fit

there are mounting screwholes for a 240mm rad
subtle, but its there
mobo clearance is a diff matter though

 

[wodgah]

The entire point was a h100 will not fit in this case , and without modification it wont , there is not enough clearance inside unless you are going to mount the fans externally and even then I believe its very tight.

 

[tamzzy]

if an r3 can mount a h100, for the r4 not to be able to mount the h100 is an incredible oversight

ok nvm, i was wrong, it doesnt fit...trololol

/facepalm

must have a moan to factal

 

[Yaayuh!]

I will get this.

Looks to be a great replacement for my H2 which is just annoying.

 

[Mei]

yeh not sure how they managed that with this one being slightly taller, its not a cooler i would use but a lot do, will surely cut into sales a little

 

[wodgah]

I'm not saying its a bad case as it certainly does an awful lot for the money and is great at what it does. But the criticism people are having is that it didn't do things people were expecting it to do, and therefore despite being a good case and extremely good value for money it is a little bit disappointing, as the Anandtech review says this case is evolution not the revolution a lot of people were hoping for.

 

[kmetek]

i told you so!!!! i'm getting this one.

 

[tamzzy]

so apparently you can mount the rad in the front

 

[wodgah]

Can only be a slim radiator and not a h100 as it wont reach from what I have read.

They're definitely getting better at this case business. My kinda style so its good to know they are improving.

 

[AgentOrange]

I find him to be a bit of a *** when it comes to certain biased opinions, not cool for a reviewer to have. Though overall he's an alright reviewers, like someone said if im gonna be dropping £100 on something i don't mind spending 40 mins to get an idea of something.

An the case is very nice looking, was tempted to get the R3 XL but not a fan of the silence type cases thermals.

 

[Number_25]

Here's the link if anyone's interested.

Coming in close to £100 though, seems a bit steep - or was the R3 priced in a similar fashion?

 

[Yaayuh!]

Seems a tad steep but to be expected since the R3 was such a massive hit.

 

[mayebaza]

The Fractal R series are renown for silence, the H100 has reputation for noise, is this what they were thinking during its design?

Thankfully my main problem has been fixed with this version. The back of the tray I have found a pain for quite a while.

That video is a marathon too!

I love Tiny Tom Logan's reviews, so in depth and valid.

Well except for the R4 video, which is a bit of a farce in comparison to most of his reviews.

OCUK are probably one of the few with stock at the moment so they will be charging a premium until its more widely available. Worth it if you want it now, otherwise will probably come down slightly in price in a bit.

 

[tamzzy]

well the r4 is supposed to be a direct replacement for the r3, so im guessing it will come down in price to the r3's current price within the next few weeks/months

 

[Kosmiche]

I might watch that video even though I will never buy this case or even have a interest in buying it.

40 minutes, I just want to see how long it takes for him to start repeating himself, did he do a build in the case in real time or something.
