Simply a great case, transferred my system from my Antec 302 to my Antec 1200 v2 to this case and man, it was much much easier. Paint is tough, fans are ok.

I just grabbed this case yesterday at NCIX Mississauga and transferred my system from Haf XM. I like how it looks and the added noise dampening materials is a bonus. The only thing I do not like is the fact that the top panel isn't as thick so they need to make beefier top panel. I intend to add noise absorbing material to the areas around the fans and all the way to the 5.25" bay.Also needs better fans due to the fact that the ones supplied are noisy when mounted to the top and even the front. Time to put my Noctuas to work. Other than that it is a nice case.

Bought this to replace my Antec 300 and there are some considerable differences. For one thing, much heavier compared to the 300 but partly that is because of the padding on both the R4's panels to dampen the noise. I can barely hear it running at times and only when gaming does it ramp up. It's wider so there is is more room at the back of the motherboard for those who want to have a nice looking case without the hassle finding places to hide their wires.
