FINALLY - Arc Midi Review

Damn that is a good lookin' case. Going to have to keep an eye out on this.
 
Nice looking case. I'm a little disappointed that the front is plastic rather than aluminum but, personally, it's not a deal breaker.
 
So they already started to suck :rolleyes: with the unremovable branding, I've been close to buying Fractal Design due to their minimalistic use of branding, then BAM, they start sucking like Antec and Corsair :rolleyes:

/goes build own case, bye.
 
Nice. I have been holding off on a define R3 for a while now waiting to see what the ARC is like. It looks good! My only concern now is how loud the fans are at low speed.

I'm not pleased about the branding. The Define is probably the best looking case on the market.

I do like that they used the USB 3 internal headers, though. The reviewers knocked them for it, but it has to happen eventually. Using an external plug is so hack-ish.
 
Good styling but they need to use better materials/finish to be considered among the best.
More of a sleek/refined Cooler Master or Lancool case.

For $109 and price conscious consumers, this looks like a decent option.

I'm very sad about the plastic bezel...bleh...looks decent in most ways, i just wish they would have given it an aluminum bezel.

It's a shame it's not...however it is still a lot of case for the price. It still looks good for plastic too.

Ya know at first I was going to disagree, but when I saw that massive embossed logo I literally recoiled. A bit tacky, no? The entire front fascia made out of plastic is a shocker too, but I do like it's overall design though.
 
what about silence I need the computer on 24/7 without a discrete grafhic card

I actually just bought one, possibly the most functional 100 dollar case out there.

However, the front plastic Bezel, along with the large type on the front is a little offputting in the looks department. It's a pleasure to work in though, and offers great cooling options. It almost wiremanages itself lol.
 
I think the Lian Li A04 is a better buy...I also dislike the plastic front panel. Yuck.

Some won't be able to get past that front Bezel, but if you do, you will find a case that fits everything neatly and has great airflow / wiremanagment.

I think with some paint and modding I can maybe make this thing look a little better. We will see I'm going to play around with it some.

Klasik, sorry I didn't get back to you, I need to update my post I have someone interested in the A04, we might do some modding on it together as a project. It's been... an interesting week or two...
