Fractal Design Arc Midi R2 Case

[HardOCP News]

Benchmark Reviews has the Fractal Design Arc Midi R2 in house for a little review action today. Overall it seems like the gang was impressed with this case. Here's a quote from the review:

One thing Fractal Design does well is presentation. There is a design language at work here that flows through everything they do - even the manual follows suit. I think Fractal Design single-handedly made me a fan (please excuse the pun) of white bladed fans and contrasting looks. While NZXT does this nicely as well, Fractal Design manages it with a subtly powerful design that blends in with any décor.

either this case or the Define IS my next case for sure. I'd love to see if you can buy the top piece from the Arc, and put it on the Define, as its the same chassis if im not mistaken.

won't work with the r4. if You check some of the youtube reviews, you'll see them remove thetop grill piece, and it has slot tabs that go into the frame, and two thumbscrews that secure it in the back - both of which aren't on the r4. The arc midi r2 has one more vent on the top that can take a 120mm fan, and has more flexibility with top mount rads than the r4.

I thank you for the heads up on that. Makes it easier for my decision then.
