Hello everyone!

So I'm starting my first build journey, ordered half my parts online and the rest I will buy locally and will most likely be putting it together this weekend! So stoked!

Anyway, the only thing left to pick out is a solid case. I've narrowed down my options to the 2 listed in the title above and would love to hear from owners of these cases.

First off I'd like to hear your thoughts and experiences regarding installation, quietness or anything else that you like/dislike.

Secondly, I was dead set on the the Fractal R4 Titanium Grey or Black Pearl but then upon reading reviews I came across the Antec P280. I'm seriously considering the Antec because right now, there is a sale in my area until next monday. Both cases retail at $119 but the Antec is now 79.99 ($10 instant rebate, $30 mail in rebate) so after taxes I would still be under $100...pretty darn good savings I would think considering the R4 would cost roughly $130 after taxes. There is a white window version of the P280 as well for $10 less...not sure how I feel about the colour though.

Any reason I shouldn't jump on this deal?

Thanks in advance for reading and taking the time to share your thoughts!
