Fractal Design Define R4 or NZXT H440?

[BboyDfresh]

So I'm really dissatisfied with my Cooler Master HAF 912, it's way too loud and is a literal dust magnet. The main reason of replacement is the noise though, even with Noctua fans I still hear a lot of noise. Anyway, I found 2 cases within my price range, I'm looking for the case that's the quietest, along with good build quality and decent airflow. Usually the H440 is out of my price range but it's on sale at NCIX.

Other suggestions under $100 are welcome. Note I live in Canada, so a case that costs US$100 might cost $120 CAD

Can't go wrong with either, which do you like the look of more?

I like the Define r4 because its super quiet because of the sound foam.


Define r4 > h440.

If sound isn't to much of an issue,

h440 > define r4.

But you seems to be complaining of sound, so I would aim for the define r4.

If it were an R5, would you still consider the H440, or would you consider the R5 a better option. I just might wait and see.

No point in Define r5. The r4 and r4 in same in quality and acoustics. However, the Define R5 got a big bump in water cooling support.

Oh that's not a problem then. How about cable management? Can you fit a lot of cables in the back. I literally have to stuff the back plate on my HAF 912

Yes. The Define r4 has great cable management.l
