Fractal Design has taken a great chassis in the Define R3 and made it even better in the Define R4. The improved cooling and noise performance, along with the more convenient fan controller, the expanded room for cable management and the easier to clean ...
Same core features as in previous Define cases, Sound dampening installed everywhere, Improved flexibility between air cooling and sound dampening, Space for eight hard drives, Front drive-bay covers may easily be removed, Excellent cable routing possibil
Clips of front covers won't last long, No possibility to install 3.5" drives out of the box, Front-panel design not as flexible as in previous Define cases, Fan controller no longer with a dial, only 3 settings are available, Door only opens to the left,
The Fractal Design Define R4 has taken the R3 and successfully fused it with the backbone of the Arc chassis. The newest revision adds USB 3.0 support, a new front panel design, and more options for fans. Thanks to the modular HDD bays, you may also in...
