    Fractal Designs R2

    A very good looking and well specced case.
    I might try one for my bedroom PC as it has noise absorbing material
    Would be a nice upgrade to the P180

    LOL sorry I should explain - I like simple elegance when it comes to PC cases
    Reminds me of my Antec P180 but with more hard drive space

    Yeah but it looks to be better built and cheaper, look at the door for example nice and thick, with sound proofing

    Better built and cheaper is always a good thing in my book....hard to come by these days.

    Hmm review at Bit-Tech said the temps aren't very good, but that really goes without saying with all the sound proofing. And they didn't put fans in all the mounts so hardly a surprise lol

    Got one of these mate pretty cool.

    Metal is quite thin unfortunatley, but Its quite a good case overall.

    Made the switch from my ATCS 210 finally, 80mm fans proucing too much noise:cfm ratio! lol

    Reccomended case though

    OH and RE: Temps... reason its not good is because the case HOLDS the heat, you open it up and its like an oven! Fitting an extra extraction (side panel) fixes it though, and provides a warm air over your feet haha
