Define R4 or Phantom 410

[sylvari]

Is it worth getting the Define R4 or should I go for the less expensive P410? Other chassis suggestions would be accepted. TIA!

Depends which one you liked the best. Its a personal thing. Both are good.

you'll be very very lucky to find anyone who has had both, so any answer will be subjective and wholly based on the one that they own. I'd therefore say the R4, its great, the P410 could be better, but I've no idea .

Both are fantastic cases.

If you like quiet (soundproof padding), little dust build up, effective filters, elegant looks, great airflow (not saying the 410 doesn't have that) then do get the R4. One negative thing is that, the case can be quite heavy, but as long as you don't move it around too much, you'll be fine. It might get cramped if you add water cooling in.

If you like spacious room, great airflow, speed fan controllers, great cable management, a cool funky case, get the Phantom 410.

I know its a noob question but will the H100i fit in the P410?

You need 2 x 120mm fans together

Phantom 410 -

FRONT, 2x120mm or 1 X 140mm (1x120mm included) <--- So here
REAR, 1 X 120mm (included)
SIDE, 1 x 120mm or 1 x 140mm
TOP, 2 X 120/140mm (1 x 140mm included) < ---- or here

Yes it can fit. You either put it on the front or top.

Thanks for the answer guys! However, I think I'll still go for the R4 because I want more silence in my build. I'm also leaning onto the Noctua NH-D15 cooler.

For what CPU? An i5 won't need one. But an i7 or FX8core will

 

[sylvari]

I'll be using an I7-4790k.

OK. Sounds good. Hope I've helped.
