On newegg the fractal r4 is down to 80 bucks. Is this a good deal? I've been wanting to buy it but never saw sale on it till now. Does it go lower than 80 ever?

Thanks

I would buy it. I actually have it myself and i'm very pleased with it. It's a nice design, it keeps down noise, has alot of space for fans, and best of all: dustfilters for the front and bottom intake. But you probably already knew that, but yeah, it's a really silent case, if you don't have any noisy parts in it that produce an abnormal amount of sound (like my PSU).

Be careful with the PSU there, beacause the case won't block it's noise because it blows out air, so it's actually open to the outside of the case. Which is a problem for me.

Although all it's pros, you have to be careful if you move it around a lot. The front panel will come loose if that's where you put your grip. It's a very big case and it's hard to move around, but if it is supposed to be in one spot, then go for it.

If you plan on moving it a lot, then this is a no-no (but it's still possible)

Thanks very much for that insight chickenator! Especially about the non-silencing of the psu. Yeah I picked it because it comes with the dustfilters and some silent fans. I'll definitely keep that note about grabbing from front panel in mind. Thanks man. The reason i need it is because my computer is right next to my bed, haha can't sleep with all the whirring.

Oh chickenator one question please: Do you think I'll need a cpu cooler along with this case? (like the hyper master evo 212)?

That depends on if you are going to overclock your CPU or just want a cooler temperatures for it. You don't need a CPU cooler, but i do recommend it, as it can help push the heated air right toward an exhaust fan. As you probably know, the stock fan just spreads the heated air around inside the case.

If you want the PC to be quieter, then maybe you should start thinking about a new cooler, especially if your room is very warm, because that would probably speed up the cooler due to heat and i know that stock coolers can emit a lot of noise when they start to spin properly.

And yes, the EVO212 cooler is a really good choice!

Cool thanks man! Nah I'm not overclocking, I'm thinking of getting the A10 from amd 7850. I need it for VMWare of mac and linux, to run firefox on them to test add-ons.
