Not sure if anyone else noticed (or cares) but the Node 605 is currently down in price at Newegg... $129.99 + free shipping. Still a bit pricey but not as steep as it was at launch rolleyes.gif

Wish I could get one of these, but currently in the market for a new video card. Gonna ditch my SLI and go single gpu.

I'm planning to buy the R4, but I'm not sure should I get the windowed or normal. So guys I turn to you and want to know your opinion of this thing. I'm mainly worried about the sound, due the normal has the foam and the window has just plexi and a bit of foam on the corners. I don't care about the price cause the difference of prices is like 10€. So what is your opinion?

I haven't noticed any difference in noise since I changed to the windowed panel.

Ok, so ideas for painting my incoming white Define R4 with window:

(photos taken from a Google image search)

Rust-Oleum "Berry Pink"



"Colonial Red"



"Apple Red"



Hrm... Colonial Red is pretty great, but I love saturated colors in general, so it's usually a tough choice!

^ Ditto, and since it's a darker color compared to the other two options it will hide smudges and keep a cleaner look longer in between wipe downs/Data vac 500. thumb.gif

I've googled around but can't seem to find it. Has anyone put a custom loop in a Fractal Core 3000? Not an All in one but a custom loop

That's a very nice rig man, a bit sad about the pic quality... if you had better lightning on the PC while you take your pictures that would probably improve them significantly. smile.gif
