I have a R4, it isn't as quiet as you'd think
Dust fans and shit like vibrating

I have a fractal.
Phenominal case and it outs you as a non-autist.
Can't recommend enough

Noise is 90% your fans and 10% your case.
Fractals are amazing for noise dampaning. If you want less sound, get a better fan.
Unrelated but when did water cooling die out?

All my fans are meme noctuas
**dust pan still loves vibrating, I just removed it altogether
this case is highly engineered and a joy to work with. I recomend it to every customer that comes in my shop because it makes my job so easy.

OP here, I think there are still plenty of builds that use liquid cooling.
I saw this case and thought wow that looks amazing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWGO3uAfa0U
but once I saw how you need a heat gun and have to adjust the tubing yourself with heat I was like NOPE I'm not doing this

Forgot to mention- the power button LED burns corneas

it also has high quality dust filters for all intakes including the psu.

seems decently priced

any disadvantages to it ?

I have the Razer one, and I love it. It's clean, good structure, heavy and sturdy as shit.
I know, I know, Razer is shit, but I wanted to go with a black/green design for my build and I liked the colors better than the normal one with neon green trim. Plus, I'm a sucker for anything in matte black.
My only complaint is that it could have more ventilation.

water cooling isn't dead it's just transitioned almost entirely to aio instead of the more diy approach, it's always been a enthusiast thing only for the most part

This. It will light up a dark room lol. I love the case though.
>>339217691
its only real benefit is quieter fans.
My case
