There are no rules on voting hot or cold, only made up rules by people who disagree with their perception of how the voting should be.

Interestingly you ask what 'type' of person votes cold on this deal as if there's a specific type of person, they do not agree with me they are that type of person, now I know what type they are I can exclude them from my life, I have a definitive picture and description of the type of person that votes cold on 'stuff like this'.

What would happen if you found out that there was a specific type of person that votes cold on stuff like this? What would you do? Also what would happen if there is literally no type of person, but many types of person all with different personalities who voted cold on this deal? Would it cause you confusion?

It's good to question things but it's also good to question important things. Of course voting cold or hot on any deal here is of no consequence to me, I have to step in to the mindset of some one else that does care, I've decided that it's irrational to care, but everyone is different of course and I'm sure you can't pin down the no voters to a specific type, you can't quantise them for ease of comfort in your thinking.

It's OK to feel uncomfortable, it's OK for things not to work out as you imagine them to. It's OK to question things.

Wrap it in cling firm. Just make sure you have water cooling :smiley:

Depends on how clean the environment is kept, in which the case will be placed.

I'm like you then! Always buy a new case and decide "Yep, this is the last one I'll buy", but then get bored and decide to switch it up again.

I've gutted out the drive trays from my R4 (moved the hard drives to the 5.25" bay) and removed the sound insulated grills, mainly because my heatsink was trapping hot air up the top of the case. Also the side grill open means the GPU gets access to more air as I was finding it was trapping between that and the heatsink :/.

The main problem for me is I have an E-ATX motherboard so the R4 isn't really suitable. I've had my eyes on the Corsair Carbide Air 540 for a while, but not gonna take the leap til it drops <£100, though.

I have the R4 in white. The plastic facia discolours after a while and it's a pita to clean the little vents down the side if you wanna keep it as new.

Many years ago a mate of mine purchased a white Define R4 case specifically so that he wouldn't notice all the dust on it (dust is usually white-ish looking, lol!). I myself went for a black R4 and have been happy with it.

Didn't cut myself when building my current desktop rig. I have owned a Lian Li case in the past and I am surprised more case manufacturers don't include those rubber slip on strips to cover sharp steel edges though.

My Define R4 case has an adjustable 3-speed fan controller. I upgraded two of the case fans to 140mm Silent Wings fans and on the lowest fan setting I can still hear the fans spinning even when the PC is on but doing nothing. Had a look around the BIOS but couldn't see any settings where I could set fan speeds and at which temperature they kick in. Do I need to install third party software for this, if so any recommendations please?

Thanks.

That's the beautiful thing about the isk600. It's the smallest case that can comfortably fit 12.5" cards. I have an r9 290 in mine. Wanted the 390 but beyond my budget for now. It's much better in 4k than the 290, but many reviews show similar performance in 1080p and since my projector is 1080p and 4k isn't getting cheaper any time soon it made logical sense

Yeah there is, you just need 20 posts.

You do get the standard 4 knife sharp edges around the I/O shield. The insides are nice and smooth though. Blood and sweat definitely went into the making of mine, maybe even some tears.
