Pros: Look, air flow, removable HDD rack, silent

Cons: on/off button is sensitive, design aspects

A very nice case, that's silent, but also very elegant.
I love the case, ever since I first got it - even though I had to return my first one to OCUK due to a manufacturing defect on it. OCUK were very good in dealing with the problem, for free smile.gif

Pros:
-The USB ports at the top make it easy to plug and play things
-The case look is very stylish
-There's good air flow within the case
-The material it is made out of is of good quality
-The fan control at the front is useful
-The fan filters that are included at the bottom and front are useful
-The removable HDD rack is very useful
-The 2x Fractal fans included are good (although not the best)
-The case is silent

Cons:
-On/Off button can easily be mistakenly hit
-Fractal fans make a lot of noise on the metal grills (side and top) -> bought 2x Corsair AF140's instead
-The motherboard SATA slots are too close to the rubber "holes"
-The front panel connections aren't long nor secure enough (USB 3.0 & HD audio mainly)
-Heavy case
-Front of the case can be easily pushed out

Here's an overview and unboxing of the case:
Fractal Design Define R4 Titanium Grey Silent ATX Mid Tower Case
