Fractal Design Define R4 Black Silent ATX Midtower Computer Case
Fractal Design Define R4 Black Silent ATX Midtower Computer Case

Pros: - Simple, minimal appearance - Simple versatility of drive bay configs. - Fan dust filters on bottom and front (my intake spots) If you're doing intake from top or rear provide your own.

Cons: - Motherboard tray had 4 out of 9 mounting holes improperly drilled. The holes were too small. I could not fit the standoff motherboard mounting screws in no matter what I tried short of taking a drill to the case. Google shows a small number of other users with similar issues. -The properly attached side panel picks up HDD vibration from properly mounted drives in their trays. This leads to a noticeable humming unless even slight pressure is placed against the panel. For example, I used a piece of tape. - If you use screws to mount your SSDs on the back of the motherboard tray, you will have to remove the board to get at the screws later. Being experienced with putting together systems, I just used velcro to mount a couple SSDs on the back.

Overall Review: The cons I experienced are likely limited production defects, I just got lucky. I expected more from this case though.
