Wow... my OCD kicked in heavily seeing that you have a black and white intake.
I would've gone nuts -.-

I would exchange the back exhaust with the black intake, keep a bit of zen in things.

But for the rest, not bad! Also don't see many people with a Define R4 in white.

Ahhhhhhh, but that would require undoing a buncha stuff now! :P Besides, you can't see anything with this case when it's all closed up. Plus, pretty sure the Venturi has a significantly higher amount of airflow than the fans that came with the case - and I am trying to go for mega positive air pressure, so yeah. :P

The Define R4 white was for a couple reasons... One, I wanted an R4. Two, I didn't want to spend upwards of $100 for it. I got the white for $75~!

Dat cable management though. I just love how it turned out. Just gotta put in some time and effort!

NEVER hold a PC part by the connectors. I hope you cleaned all the oil off that GPU's connectors before you installed it.

lol. Dude, I've been doing this for 5 years and never had a part get damaged or show any signs of problems, other than when my 560 Ti's actual chip was dying. And for the record, no, I didn't wipe down the connectors at all.

GPU is running fine and dandy producing as beautiful imagery as before.

But yeah, in all honesty, for people who don't have super dry not oily fingers like me, I would say don't do this. Don't try this at home kids! Maybe someday I'll pay, maybe. But 5 years, having built several computers and played with the objects because lolwhynot has shown most people (even like you) might be a little *too* cautious. They don't make hardware like they used to!

I hate you so bad right now.
My OCD is having a massive field day now... GO BUY SOME MORE VENTURI FANS DAMNIT.

You have that system and you write that... you cheap git -.-

I got the case back in early 2014 when I had a 1080p $200 AH-IPS monitor, an i5-2500K, ASUS P8P67 board, etc etc.

I must admit, I love the R4 and it has a lot of potential. However, it is mildly on the small side and now that the computer is becoming more like a real workstation I wonder if I'd be better off with a bigger case again.

But idk, I had the HAF X - still have it, but it's so damned big. The FD Define R4 is really much more solidly built, feels better, and is much easier to transport to my school's LAN parties. Plus I like the simplicity, but yeah at the time I wasn't yet quite as deep in the expensive shit like I am now. XD

Maybe I'll replace the two case fans, but they've been doing pretty well. Perhaps I'll look into the airflow comparison charts and see if they're worth replacing before they die or if I should just keep 'em.

Processor: I7 4770k
RAM: 32GB 2133Mhz
SSD: (3) Crucial SSD 500GB (Raid 0) NB4 "good luck with your lost data"
Hard drive: 4TB WD green (backup) 6TB WD black (movie editing)
Motherboard: ASUS MAXIMUS VII HERO
Graphics card: (2 in SLI) ASUS GeForce GTX 980 MATRIX
Case: Corsair 760T (black)
Power supply: Corsair RM1000 gold. (1000watts lol)

I change things every once in a while to keep current. Raid 0 is for fun, it's speed and I reload windows, if one drive goes out i'm not worried because i'll just RMA it and reload again anyways since everything I care about is backed up. Don't be afraid to run RAID 0 (unless drives dont match) because then why did you get the drives if you have no faith in them?

Pictures damn it!

[Dartz1979]

Damn I need to get a rig like that looks nice.

[Yamuri]

Yea i'll get that when I get home. Pretty proud of how it looks, all black and red.

[Azgraal]

I just think it's funny that some people are in here ooing and ahhing over the new SSD when just a little while ago they were scoffing at people putting their SSDs in raid 0.

SSDs in raid0+1 masterrace!! (I wish)

Is it possible that that cooler is tilted?

[DeltrusDisc]

That would be news to me, but I can check. PLEASE HOLD.

lol I was able to tilt it back, good catch sir!

[Ghâzh]

Wow, I didn't actually think it was possible, figured maybe the camera angle was playing tricks with my eyes.

Oh it's very possible. Happened with my old cooler on the other system too. With enough movement screws can loosen just enough so stuff can shift. I don't notice any outstanding temperatures that would be a cause for concern, though.

Oh my god...



Okay, maybe an upgrade could be down the pipeline, but I am only 7 minutes in. ^_<

Edit: Finishing up watching the video... no. Definitely not.

That IWIN case is shitty.

[Deleted]

I don't think you get a case like that for features, its purely for looks, I would get that case just to show off as its IMO one of the nicest looking case out there.

The best looking case to me is

[DeltrusDisc]

Yeah the big ol' gaps for the SSD cages are... weird. The gap in between them for the cable routing is... weird. Just a couple of the things that stood out to me as: weird.

[Drunkenvalley]

Obviously deltrus should buy an s-frame instead.

[OnlineSamantha]

What about that new case from InWin with the moving parts? That should fit nicely.

Heavily modded that InWin 909 would be awesome. I don't really like that red strip on the bottom, or the SSD cages. Although if you filled every cage with a nice looking SSD it'd be pretty cool. And that glass window, EPIC. Major upgrade over those most often flimsy looking plastic windows (every corsair case).

Except that the SSD mounts are unevenly spaced.....
